Members SFK Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 One Life to Live has been many things to many fans. I fell in love with a freaking pocket of show, like '93-'95, and with considerable breaks, it's that pocket that's kept me hanging on and hanging in. The show was that good to me back then, and I have often been disappointed that it hasn't been as good since, but at this point I'm sticking with it til the end. I don't know, maybe long term fans of a show where Viki/Niki/Jean/Tommy/Tori/Princess/Jess/Tess/Bess are our leads aren't bothered by its ever-changng personality. But I think it's pretty safe to say that the OLTL of today will most likely be this OLTL until its PP death. FV's blend contains satire of Rauch's campiness with the occasional attempt at Nixon's or Gottlieb's social commentary when not (*allegedly*) quashed by TPTB. I'm really hoping that the wise folks at PP aren't too laissez faire with FV however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 I think GH is the closest to Frons' vision. I doubt the uber camp is his style, and, although I loathe what he did to ABC Daytime, the obsession with fetishizing and romanticizing rape also doesn't fit what he did to the other ABC soaps. What OLTL most needs is better pacing, and a heart. It also needs to stop having such deeply unpleasant characters parading around as prize studs, with insta-forgiveness. I have no idea why I'm supposed to root for Ford, Clint, Jack, Rex, etc. I guess it's supposed to be hip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 Ooof, imagine the crap storm if PP acquired GH before launching AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 I watch at my desk top. I have a nice 21" Mac and a nice chair. So every day or maybe I skip a day I just go to hulu for OLTL and NBC.com for DOOL and it's very easy. If you miss a few days and want to catch up no problem. There are commercial breaks but never more than 60 seconds, and you can use that minute to do whatever. http://www.hulu.com/...o+Live&st=0&fs= I find it very natural now and prefer this to watching on TV. I tend to watch late night when there are no distractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ER Tosh Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 I think OLTL's only identify is ES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 The 3 leads at GH have nothing else going. Burton would stay to continue to pimp out his next pyramid scheme. Geary wont stay. I think he only stayed around this long due to JJ. The rest of the cast is irrelevent to the show at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted November 14, 2011 Webmaster Share Posted November 14, 2011 Was there a Wall Street Journal article posted between Thursday and today regarding this OLTL/AMC mess? If so, anyone have a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 I regularly went to hulu for All My Children. I much preferred it to traditional TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted November 14, 2011 Webmaster Share Posted November 14, 2011 I don't record TV anymore nor do I care for DVR's. I regularly watch programs (including soaps) via YouTube, network websites, Netflix, Hulu, etc. Almost always I'm watching it via my 36" TV that is connected to my computer.

Members quartermainefan Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 what I have found is the TV is too good and it makes the streaming look less than it does on the computer. I watch Star Trek on netflix but on an HD TV you sort of are confronted with the fact it is not HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted November 14, 2011 Webmaster Share Posted November 14, 2011 I've found that in instances as well, but with Netflix I mostly watch it through my PS3 on my 42" TV. The HD is HD that way while via PC it clearly isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 I have watched OLTL on YouTube a couple times when I've missed it. I'll open all four segments in their own tabs and let them load so it's easy viewing if I want to fast forward, and I know this sounds nuts, but I have also watched two tabs simultaneously for speedy viewing.

Members RoseVioletDaisy Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 They did but it was just a headline and a link to the "Variety" article. http://onespot.wsj.com/small-business/2011/11/11/53b8e/all-my-children-online-reboot-in-holding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
