Members ~bl~ Posted March 22, 2012 Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 So how many more weeks will there be an SOW? I hope they are able to do a goodbye issue and don't shutter before that happens. I feel for the employees, though I think they knew it was coming soon, once they went newsstand only earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted March 22, 2012 Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 Well, I knew this was coming. It is never a good time to be unemployed and in this economy, it is the worse. I wish the employees luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted March 22, 2012 Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 Yep covering primetime was the beginning of the end for the mags. SOD won't be long I'm sure. The subscription price for SOD is ridiculous, especially if you're a soap fan that might only watch let's say just Y&R or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted March 22, 2012 Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 SOD has been covering prime time for at least 30 years, but at least they were soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 22, 2012 Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 I think they even gave Sean Kennif (from the first season of Survivor - the alphabet guy) a column, briefly. Or I might be hallucinating that. Anyway, it was the first time I really knew the magazine was something I wasn't going to be buying. I get the idea of putting coverage of the most popular soaps, but those people were already buying SOD. I think they could have had a niche market of their own if they'd focused more on the lesser soaps. I know they had little money and they were doing their best, but I think the covers have looked like such sh!t for a long time. I know they couldn't afford to do photo shoots but honestly even going to the set and taking photos with a camera phone would have looked better than that cookie cutter cut and paste of random soaps.

Members DaytimeFan Posted March 22, 2012 Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 SOW died when Mimi Torchin cleaned out her desk, her covers were the best in the business. She did some great work on Another World back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted March 22, 2012 Administrator Share Posted March 22, 2012 Awww......I've always preferred SOW to SOD, especially when Mimi and Marlena were there. I remember the first issue I bought and it was the one with the "Port-Charles" serial killer suspects. SOW had such amazing covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted March 22, 2012 Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 Its partially their fault for sugar coating some of the awful writing.....instead of saying how shitty some stories were they continued to be all nicey nicey....it would have benefited the soaps had they been more honest with the soaps and their viewers.
