Members dragonflies Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 They are throwing in the towel, if they can't get funding now, why would that suddenly change a year from now, or even 5 years from now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm so upset right now. I even made a new signature to represent my love for these shows....I miss them already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members juppiter Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 They are throwing in the towel on broadcasting new episodes of OLTL and AMC in their current form beginning in January 2012. I refuse to believe that, after spending money for the rights to these shows, they will not try some other way to make money off them. We could see old episodes on DVD or online streaming. I'm not trying to start a debate or a rumor or suggest this will happen, just to correct what I believed to be a misinterpretation of the PP press release, as well as verify that *I* was reading it correctly.

Members Soapsuds Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 They need to go the DVD route. I am sure sales would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 I've seen many networks get rights for shows for even up to like 5 years, only to air said show(s) for like 6 months and then drop them. It's not unheard of. PP would have been better off creating a new soap, and seeing if the AMC & OLTL actors would be on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JNewt Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yeah you're right and there's still so many Search for Tomorrow fans out there I think it would be a huge win if fans can see that show again or even the youths who appreciate the old soaps.

Members JNewt Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 I agree we need more clarification here on the situation b/c I think PP won't just let these two soaps rot and not make any money off of them. I think they'll at least air old episodes on their website or sell DVDs. Just b/c PP gives up now doesn't mean they can never make progress in still getting these two shows back up like you said they could do a spin-off. I think the only way this will work is if they work with a smaller cast of actors and do a spin-off and find a television deal. Maybe PP would've been better off finding a second company to help finance these shows if money is the real big issue here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 We don't know how much they purchased the rights for...this could make a brilliant tax write off for Prospect Park, Hollywood projects fail all the time and their failures bankroll many an IRS tax break.
