Plus their grammar is terrible.

Yes. I was going to say they need to be in an English class but I think it's more important to get the mental issues under control.

I'm very curious about what exactly people will say when they contact these agencies. What will be their specific complaint? Are they accusing PP/ABC/Disney of fraud?

Possibly the worst part of the PP thing is that the people who can't let go have to start the whole grieving process all over again. They are right back at denial now. I have no issue with their efforts. Trying to save these shows is not how I choose to spend my time, but I have no issue with people who choose to go down fighting. Along the way these shows stopped meaning as much to me as they obviously do to the people mounting these campaigns.

I have a bad feeling camping outside the White House and pestering the Obamas will be these individuals' next step.

This makes us SOAP FANS look really STUPID. Honestly we are looking like we have NO BUSINESS sense in our bodies and we are all wearing emotional taking it very PERSONAL. Yes it sucks we lost our shows and I am sad OLTL my favorite show of all time is going. I am in a state of acceptance. I understand why its going. I am a BUSINESS person. I understand BASIC BUSINESS 101. I know if I show costs MORE TO MAKE then what it MAKES it needs to go. I understand BUSINESS. Its not just ABC soaps they are all going. When the Chew last week hits SERIES HIGHS and coming close on AMC heels on a 50 percent slashed budget it shows ABC in business made the right decision. It sucks but in life things come to an end. None of this will bring the SHOWS back. SOAPS in their CURRENT FORM will NEVER ever been seen again. I just have to ask some SOAP fans do u guys understand the business aspect to decisions? Anyone in the career of BUSINESS?

Oh, no. We're way past stupid. At this point, people who think the "Twilight" saga is totally based on a true story look more balanced than we do.

These are just earnest soap fans fighting the good fight. How DARE you shake your heads at them without appreciating their bravery and loyalty????

Obviously these folks have a right to continue to protest but I am confused as to what they think the FCC can do, DId Lucci expose a breast on the last episode of AMC or something? You know how just awful that would be.

There is no "we" here. Not really. How many people showed up for that protest in NYC? Did they even break double digits? There is a small group of vocal people staging an ill fated internet campaign, as is their right. If they had enough people to make a difference in the first place these shows would be getting the ratings they need to go on. Sadly, this is not the case.

The corporate executives already have zero respect for soap fans, so these people are not hurting 'our" reputation, imo. Beyond that, I really don't give a f*ck what the big wigs at the mouse think either way.

The Plan is more on ABC Not PP But They want to sue on two grounds:

1) Canceling an americain institution aganist the wishes of soap fans

2) Age discrimination because ABC saying that only people over 49 watch daytime drama & thats not the demo they want.

This has no merit. These people dont know what these agencies do. These complaints will be tossed in the trash.

I hope you're joking.

True. OTOH, you know what they say about a few bad apples spoiling the whole bunch.

If she had, maybe AMC would still be on the air!

M'kay. Well, I have to admit this edges things closer to crazy town.

Ah, what the hell, let's say you're not joking.

Because calling the FCC is pointless. Yes, they've fought the good fight, and they should be proud they have, too. But now is the time to accept that it's over and move on. Simple as that.

I hope you're joking.

:lol: I am.

I believe most people have accepted reality. I bet there are at the absolute most 5,000 people engaging in any sort of online protest. That is nothing, but in the age of webcasts, radio shows and Facebook, such a few people can make noise. Some of them very obviously have personal agendas and some of them are sincere, but this is by no means a mobilization of the entire soap opera fan base into some sort of futile movement, imo.

I wonder if these folks realize the advertisers NOT ABC, NBC, CBS control which viewing audience is the most valued dollarwise. Shows that do not perform in the 18-49 demo get cancalled all the time for that reason. They need to solicit all the advertisers they claimed were going to boycott ABC
