AMC and OLTL Canceled!

[Khan]

Precisely. It'd be different if no one knew about the cancellations. But we do and (groan) Frons is not out of a job. Whatev, Frons.

LOL! Hilarious, they got caught with their pants down, and now won't own up to it

Ha! Jamey:

No, I asked her if it was copyright protected. She kept babbling incoherently.

"it's our video! It's our video!" "It's our video!"

So I kept asking, "Is it copyright protected? if so, put it in writing."

I did capture most of it on a DVD, but I have absolutely no idea how to clip. Sorry.

ET also talked about the reveal to the casts/crews being sort of insulting. The later segment was famous faces that started on AMC and OLTL: Sarah, Josh, Melissa, Ryan, etc.

The irony. If DC still has a copy and can legally keep it up, I hope that's just what they do.

I can't believe Disney is going to cite copyright on a video of their daytime president giving the axe to two long-running shows. I mean, what are they going to do w/ the video? Put it out on DVD and Blu-Ray?

Now we know why Frons never got fired, Sweeney just sat back and let him run the shows in the ground so she could cancel them.

[DeeeDee]

Pretty much.

[Khan]

You know, I almost wish the other shows would get canceled now, if only to put the "Last Soap Standing" discussions to rest. No offense, everyone, it's just depressing to think about. :-(

How big of you. Now please take a look at the name of the website.

Why a hater of soaps ever came here is beyond me.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I used to be very sad about this, but then I realized, you can't feel sorry for an industry that gave up on helping itself over a decade ago.

Everything needs to die to make a comeback. Soaps may indeed follow that in a few years time. Will it be the same as before? Probably not, but the soaps have failed for years at evolution anyway.

I do agree, at this point I wish they were all canceled. They'll never attract many viewers anymore and will never be as good as before, so there's nothing left to lose.

[DeeeDee]

+1.

+1.

[~bl~]

I wonder if we will have the daytime soap equivalent to TPIR, the outlier that is the only one airing on network television during the day.

Very sweet statement...I love that she said "I will do everything possible to keep them alive."
