Yeah that was a bad spring for AMC relatively speaking--at least soon the Kevin story sparked back up. I remember at the time, just as The City was starting to be very good (or at the least very solid) it was depressing because AMC was in a bit of a rut, and OLTL--I believe just before the Labines came on-- was an utter mess (I wasn't watching GH at the time at all...) So I was actually enjoying The City the best but its cancelation was already announced. (I also remember that all ABC's ratings were slipping *except* The City which was actually, for once, having admittedly tiny climbs each week.)

Why was The City canceled? A lot of people couldn't stand Loving but many people loved The City. What is cool about the city is that they had core people from AMC/GH was there any OLTL people there? Were was it filmed BTW?

Sorry guys, when looking for Heartbreak High videos for the Loving/City thread, I stumbled across that (Vince P was a star from HH just like Corey Paige who was hired around the same time for The City.) While Broderick's era in the 90s was a mixed bag (although personally it's nonetheless one of my fave eras,) this story really was IMHO the nadir. Funny, it largely feels like something that would have fit McTavish's sensationalistic late 90s run--it has so many of the Hallmarks... Like bringing on a new character who is instantly disliked and who is written into such a plot driven hole that they have no way to return (to be fair, I guess Tanner perhaps was brought on with a short term goal and they never hoped to redeem him, but...), a he said/she said rape scenario which doesn't even have any intrigue because we know already who's in the wrong, etc.

Ripa did have moments where she really raised to the challenge. Yeah they were few (especially in her last few years,) but...

You like Loving yet nobody else likes it and you like this story yet everyone clearly distastes it. I am begining to wonder about you, EricMontreal33. I think you are Fronz in Disguise!

Seriously?? Did you see those videos I made of myself on the AMC thread on the DTS Board??

The City was taped in Manhattan. No OLTL characters appeared on The City, but Alex appeared on OLTL.

Unfortunately, yes.

New York, like Loving. And don't forget Angie was on Loving (AMC of course had some major cross over stunts in '91 and '92 as well with Loving to try to spike ratings--it didn't work but that's how I started watching.)

I don't think many people "couldn't stand" Loving, and that as part of the problem. Many people were apathetic towards it, or simply didn't watch. The City didn't get many new viewers, that's one reason, another is it still had Loving's crappy time slot, it also was given very little time to grow, and it didn't get good ratings--and was expensive.

BTW who is this Fronz you think I am? Like The Fonz? I'm confused.

I forgot Janet putting the vets in a truck--wasn't it in quicksand or going off a cliff or something?

Sometimes you all think of me as Janet so when you commented on the mirror I asked "Do you like it" as a joke.
