Members OLTL_fan Posted January 20, 2012 Members Share Posted January 20, 2012 you honestly don't think ABC can get out of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted January 20, 2012 Members Share Posted January 20, 2012 Well if they do, what else are they going to air in its place? It's doesn't look like they have a replacement ready to go at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted January 20, 2012 Members Share Posted January 20, 2012 Giving the time back to affiliates would at least get them out of wasted production costs on a low rated show. Of course, it's also not at all lucrative to do that and they'd definitely want to keep the advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GregNYC Posted January 20, 2012 Members Share Posted January 20, 2012 Non-ABC-owned affiliates will probably begin to bump The Revolution for syndicated programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 20, 2012 Members Share Posted January 20, 2012 The point is if the show keeps falling, they will just let GH have the slot. I think they knew The Revolution would flop from the get go but wanted to hurry the soaps off the air. Now that its bombing they are gonna want the best possible lead in for Katie Couric, and if that is GH. Even if GH only gets 6 months to a year its better than nothing. And just because they ordered 200 episodes doesn't mean anything, shows get canceled all the time. A episode order means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 21, 2012 Members Share Posted January 21, 2012 I think ABC will cancel GH even if they cancel The Revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 21, 2012 Members Share Posted January 21, 2012 GH isn't going to keep it's timeslot even if the Revolution fails, they'll just find something else to replace the Revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted January 24, 2012 Members Share Posted January 24, 2012 200 episode commitment doesnt mean they have to air it at 2pm. They could always throw that out in 2am and let it die a quiet death out there, unless part of that commitment says their current timeslot is locked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 http://daytimeconfid...3-percent-from- ABC doesn't generally waste anytime before yanking primetime ratings disasters, like recently-gutted sitcom Work It, off the air. I wonder how long the Mouse House will be too proud to admit they made a huge mistake in cancelling One Life to Live for The Revolution? According to TV Media Insights, The Revolution is only averaging a 1.3/4 share so far this week. Unless the ratings improve, the talk show/lifestyle transformation cluster fudge will average even lower than the disastrous averages it pulled in for the week of Jan. 23-27, says TVMI's editor Marc Berman: Keep in mind that the week one total viewer average for The Revolution was already a subpar 1.68 million viewers (which was off by 37 percent from One Life to Live one year earlier). So, unless there is an uptick, week two will be lower. This week-to-date, The Revolution is losing 28 percent of The Chew's lead-in audience, and is down a whopping 43 percent from One Life to Live in the same timeslot in 2011.

Members SFK Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 I do watch The Chew sometimes, but I cannot turn the channel fast enough when TR comes on. Ty doing that battle cry, ugh, so corny. I've seen very little of the show to fairly judge, but who cares right?, but you know what it reminds me of? Remember that The View knockoff they did Saturdays on Lifetime with Linda Dano, Tenikka Ray, an asian doctor, and whoever? Both shows have a very polished/rehearsed vibe, not at all spontaneous like when The View ladies are cackling. It doesn't feel even liive on tape. The overall effect is rather clinical. I'm going to guess that Tim Gunn is probably the best part of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 Ty has annoyed me ever since the Trading Spaces days (why don't some of those people get ABC shows? Doug...Laurie Ann...Vern?). In recent years he's reminded me of a deleted subplot in Requiem for a Dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
