Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 I don't feel the show's in as bad a situation as you--Rylee aside (OK and Ricky) they've actually built up a lot of decent B level stories and situations. I know OLTL and AMC fans always measure to see who's is bigger, but I think even in three months there's more to establish Pine Valley than there is for Llanview. Cuz OLTL has so many places to go except Vicki/Clint, Todd killing nuTodd and the Ford bros posing shirtless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevieM Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 I wonder if years from now AMC fans will look back and try to figure out at what moment the show "jumped the shark." I think that Erica's un-abortion has to be considered a prime contender for that prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jonathan Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 Someone named LaLucci fan on twitter (no it's not me ) wrote to Rosie O'Donnell about Brian Frons: LaLucciFan SoapDiva @ @Rosie Was Brian Frons horrible to work for during your time at The View? He treats soap actors like crap Rosie Rosie O'Donnell @ @LaLucciFan - not at all - i enjoyed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 Definitely, but I think its very hard to pin down any specific moment that sealed this show's fate. Combination of OJ in 1995, recycling visions of writers over and over again (namely Megan McTavish), incompetent executives, changing dynamics within the demographics, evolving mediums.... etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 Well 7 months is better than 4 months. So I'm glad they're accentuating the positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 It was a slow erosion--I think hiring Pratt was the final bit. When did OLTL jump the shark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 I knew him briefly before his AMC days, and again briefly got reacquainted with him maybe seven or eight years ago, and he is a good guy. He was always friendly, down to earth, not full of himself at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 When Michael Malone left for the first time. Even I have to admit the show fell apart completely when Leah Laiman & Jean Passanante succeeded him as Co-HW's (w/ Peggy Sloane), and I'm not even a MM fan!

Members Angela Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 I think all the soaps jumped the shark between the mid to late 90s. AMC ratings definitely crashed on the OJ trial combined with the surge of DAYS and James E. Reilly. So many shows were trying to copy the DAYS formula back then and doing it so poorly. It was just a horrific and sad situation. What fit DAYS was a fit for DAYS not for any other soap. AMC never fully recovered. Daytime never fully recovered. There were so few creative surges for any of the soaps once the 90s ended. McTavish kept AMC in the top 4 in 18-49 through half of 2007. AMC fell out of any type of real grace in 18-49 with B & E in 2007. The mid to late 90s. OJ's trial brought cable TV and news to a new level. The internet was hitting its young stride around then, too. Reality TV was emerging. Too many other options. And with that too many PTB's thinking how do we copy this formula to get those viewers? how do we copy that formula to get hose viewers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
