I pose the question. Who the flying f___ is Clinton Kelly?

Bet nobody could ever pose the question. "Who the flying f__ is Susan Lucci?"

Ever seen this show?

I watched my daily episode of ONE LIFE today and was like...oh look there's Blair, oh I won't see her again....oh, same with Téa...and Jessica, and Kelly and Dorian....and then I thought of people who weren't on today like Marty, Natalie, Bo, Nora, Matthew, Starr, Dani, Destiny...Viki was never supposed to leave. What will they do now? I don't think I will watch another show, seriously. I have never watched DAYS; I won't watch MAFIA HOSPITAL...Y&R and B&B are too excrutiatingly beautiful to care about, so I think come January of 2012, I will watch ONE LIFE and be done with it. I hope they find a way to keep the two shows afloat. It would be nice if CBS took one of them, or NBC, but it won't for all we know. And Brian Frons is not a nice man. In pictures he looks so smarmy and contemptuous, it's like...what do you think you know that makes you "innovative" and "cutting edge", and I use those words loosely. I'm sad to see LIFE end.

not the person you are asking, but not only have I never seen this show, I could not tell you which one is Clinton Kelly.

In another words. They think us Americans are nothing but a bunch of fatass pigs who need this kind of bullshite stuffed down our throats every day. When, most of us are not. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TO H-E-L-L ABC!

Pretty much. First Frons claims that audiences (more specifically women) aren't finding the soaps exciting enough anymore. Then he kinda says that the audiences for his shows all suffer from lack of life guidance and weight issues and so will be much more pleased with these shows than the soaps. What he seems to completely, spectacularly miss is that the people who loved their soaps, and maybe were dealing with those issues either would get the info from some other show or source anyway, or aren't going to, they're not gonna suddenly take to these.

I read the official descriptions of both shows to my mom and she said "in otherwords they're about nothing, and the network has no idea what the concepts are". Pretty much.

Add in AMC and that's pretty much exactly how I feel. I actually have a lot of respect for the Bell shows, though maybe not in their current form, but aside from a few classic scenes, I've just never gotten into that super "beautiful", hold that reaction shot for 4 mins rhythm they have.

They canceled this

Me too. But I take pride and solace in the fact that I have been and will be loyal to the end. It's been a good run and I have some great memories.

I agree, and it has made me try to seek out more and more classic episodes on trade sites, etc (surely SOMEONE has the first longterm story I got hooked on--the Marrick stuff especially the Budapest episodes SOMEWHERE).

Isn't the Nate Burkus show bombing? I knwo this is different, but it kinda feels like that mixed with a health help show which reminds me of The Doctors/Dr Oz--ie people already have a venue for those. But I forgot, this is groundbreaking.

I have them Eric. It's in a box in my parent's home. PAY ME!

OMG, I watched a clip of the Nate Berkus show today, the one with La Lucci. I don't know what Oprah was thinking giving him his own show. He is not ready to headline his own talker. Just awful.

Here I think Frons knows his audience. Every single person who watches The Talk is a Frons victim. Every single person who watches screeching Rachel Ray is a Frons Victim. Every person who is actually interested in what Kathie Lee has to say at 10 am..this is who Frons covets. He knows his audience. The viewing public should be ashamed of itself because its not like it watches this dreck an hour a day as a short diversion, it watches it hour after hour on channel after channel morning, noon and night.

I sadly didn't save many tapes of classic AMC--although since about 92 I made a habit of recording every single Christmas episode and the anniversary ones--but still need to transfer them all. How can I pay you?

I saw a random Oprah show where she discussed how when she produces a new show like Dr Phil or whatever she works with them on her own show before until she feels they're ready. Now I'm no Dr Phil fan--and Nate Berkus, though he seems kinda dull is someone I'd much rather hang out with than Phil--but totally, he doesn't remotely have the chops to host his own show.

this is Clinton Kelly? Who the hell is he? Is he famous? And what channel is what not to wear even on? I never even knew there was a show called "what not to wear". Is that the one Finola Hughes hosts?

You have a point, although I feel that even that crazed audience will find itself saturated with Frons' shows. I've been chatting off and on with my mom about the cancelation and she said (again she's not big TV viewer) how she always finds it so annoying that aside from cable shows (which she largely finds too violent or "adult" lol) and the CSI type shows (which she also finds too violent) she can never find any real scripted drama on TV day or night. Certainly network tv is looking more and more like that.

It's on TLC--I think for a while it was one of their bigger hits, I used to sometimes watch it while I was getting ready to go outon Fridays--the fact that I'd usually already had a few drinks prob helped. That's the thing, I really don't believe these kinds of shows should be on network tv. That sounds snobist, but isn't that the reason we have zillions of channels like TLC?

It's on TLC. Well, he's not as famous as Susan Lucci! I think Finola hosted a show on Style.

We'll talk offline.

$1 million dollars!!!!!!!!!!! I'll even take that Canadian money that you have.

He looks like he could be saying. "Ma'am...Can you pass me that cornpone? BTW, guuuuuuuurl...You look fabulous!"

you guys should head into the primetime forum and look at the photos I posted from the Reality Expo held in LA. That will be an eye opener for just how much of a celebrity these reality people are.
