Yes, they want it back the way it used to be. The same questions keep getting asked (sometimes innocently without anger or annoyance but moreso with misdirected anger/annoyance at PP):

Why can't _______ come back? Where is____? (aka How dare actors get other jobs?)

Why can't you put it back on tv? (As though it were an option right now and it's PP's fault it's not back on tv.)

I guess some people are afraid that the shows being online preclude them from turning up on tv anywhere and aren't appreciating that, if the shows' second chances fail, there won't be a third chance anywhere. It's not like the networks were beating one another off with a stick to get the shows when they were cancelled. They're not realizing that the shows being online and revamped may be the key to opening some closed doors when it comes to television.

(...sigh...)

You know, Darn...I always return to the same conclusion. I am thrilled for those who have campaigned like hell to get this show back. It's a classic story of triumph in the face of adversity. And I pray the reboots meet PP's expectations and so much more (in spite of what I said during my unfortunate, public breakdown earlier this week). But, in the end, my memories of what AMC used to be, when Pine Valley was both my home away from home and my ideal hometown, are etched too deeply into my mind for me to appreciate the new episodes. So, IOW: no, I don't think I will plan to watch. God bless 'em and all that, but...*shakes head*.

Yep. Elizabeth Snyder (ANOTHER WORLD, B&B, GH, and SUNSET BEACH) is her Co- Head Writer.

To be honest, cassadine, I am someone who believes ALL MY CHILDREN was "destroyed" long before '04. Don't get me wrong, I realize I'm in the minority here. However, for me, AMC stopped being AMC in the early '90's, when outrageous stories like Janet/Natalie and Kendall's introduction became the norm rather than the exception.

Mind you, I stuck with it for quite the while. (Same goes for GUIDING LIGHT, the only soap I love more than AMC; GL got "bad" for me around '95, but I still watched semi-regularly until Gus and Harley's wedding -- and then, of course, I picked it up again in the last few weeks, because I wanted to "say goodbye" to Springfield.) I'd watch for awhile, get pissed off (usually, because Megan McTavish was up to her old b.s.), stop, then watch again during another "low" emotional point in my life when I needed a little comfort food for the ears and eyes, so to speak. But it truly, truly was not the same for me after '93 or so.
