When 'Ally My Children' and 'One Life to Live' bid adieu, they'll be replaced with two lifestyle programs, 'The Chew' and 'The Revolution.'

So, just what are these shows about? Certainly not countless marriages and evil twins. Get the breakdown on what you can expect and what (if anything) there is to look forward to seeing on these new shows.

'The Chew' comes from veteran Food Network producer Gordon Elliot ('Paula Deen's Home Cooking,' 'Down Home With the Neelys') and will focus on every aspect of food. The one-hour series about the big world of food will be hosted by Mario Batali, 'What Not to Wear' stylist Clinton Kelly, 'Top Chef' veteran Carla Hall, 'Iron Chef America' star Michael Symon and nutrition expert Daphne Oz.

Look for the panelists to discuss things ranging from food trucks to pesticides. With such a charming group of people (Hootie hoo, Carla!) and the growing foodie craze, 'The Chew' could just work. Only thing that sounds off-putting is 'The Name' sorry, the name.

'The Chew' will replace 'All My Children' starting in September.

In January, ABC will launch 'The Revolution,' a show about health and lifestyle changes. 'The Revolution' hails from the producers of 'The Biggest Loser' and 'Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition.'

Tim Gunn headlines the "dream team" of Kimberly Locke -- yep, 'American Idol' contestant Kimberly Locke -- and fitness trainer Harley Pasternak. The three will be joined by a rotating cast of contributors to help transform all aspects of people's lives. Over the five weekday broadcasts, the series will feature one woman's five-month weight loss path. ABC calls the show a "one-stop shop for better living." Based the on the description, it's hard to get a grasp on just how this show will pan out.

Tell us: What do you think of the new shows? Will you watch either?

Well just how many aspects of food are there? More specifically, how many aspects are interesting enough that I want to hear what these nobody celebrities no one ever heard of have to say about it? My eyes glazed over when my mother would talk about food, now I have to listen to these people? I don't think so.

    • Yes, they are new pictures of him.
    • I would submit to you that she doesn't need any more excuses, not when it comes to Bill. But, I am one fan who thinks Bill isn't done with Dani & also the reverse is so. Those two, IMO, are locked in some kind of toxic but  irresistible vortex. I'm not saying we're going to have scifi. Just the personality kind of vortex. OH!!! Thanks. I don't do Y&R. But I totally understand anger even frustration with Josh.
    • Any chance you could share this episode to the vault? Please.
    • @asafi @yrfan1983 Jennifer Brooks death was September 1977. A recap of it is here    
    • a reference to a mystery character on Y&R named "Aristotle Dumas" who has been discussed a zillion times in the past few months but never seen.  Not mad at the character.  Mad at Y&R writer Griffith for the annoyance. Mentioned to point out the annoyances of Y&R in contrast to enthusiasm for BTG.
    • It also seemed like she wanted an excuse to go over Bill's and yell at him.
    • The number 1 rated soap, and no one seems to like it. I don’t remember the last episode I watched. The Damian story was the only thing keeping me watching but I just gave up on the show altogether again.
    • Not all friends are alike though and there should be a counterbalance in some friendships on soaps. Dani has already been all over the place enough and doesn't need an unstable friend.
    • I was finally warming up to Eva but today, that girl, what in the world was she thinking, crawling back to Mama saying she was under a lot of pressure. Pitiful. And, just what did she get for her trouble? Rebuffed, totally. Anastasia, she can go kick rocks. Who needs her & what was she wearing? I'm surprised to learn that some people did not have an appreciation of Dani & then Anita, right after, at Theodore's. I thought they were both right on the money & also sharp, witty.  Ted, of course, is playing at being Impervious Man, which is very funny & he takes it one step further, making all these declarations of his intent to woo Nicole back & win her trust again. I find myself laughing so hard at him & at how he has totally misread his circumstances. He has zero chance but wow he has so much confidence. This I find to be so humorous, possibly unintentionally so.  Edit to add: What does Alexander Dumas have to do with anything? And why are people seeming to be mad at him?
    • They feel like a bad Three's Company parody.
