Oh yeah, I forgot that CBS shows are not on Hulu, so that wouldn't work.

Why, I don't know. Did Y&R or DAYS gain significant numbers of viewers when AMC and OLTL were cancelled? Do they suspect people will leave these shows behind just because AMC and OLTL are now available at their convenience? Because, if you ask me, it'd take a lot more than availability to get me to switch soaps. Nor would I stop watching SONY's shows because PP says their shows are "bolder" and "sexier." If I'm watching Y&R or DAYS, it's because I am invested emotionally in those characters; and if I stop, 1) it'd have nothing to do with AMC and/or OLTL coming back, and 2) I probably won't be tempted to try new ones. But that's just me.

All those marketing folk at CBS must surely can put their heads together to figure out something:

Just off the top of my head, I would say something like

'...it's been in the press, everyone knows that soaps are hot again(interspersed with clips). Tune into the #1 daytime dramas and discover why Y&R and B&B have always been [fill in the blank by having actors from the soaps saying words like hot, sexy, etc].

And if they were truly clever, they'd run it right after an ad from Hulu's new soaps.

Sure some of us cynics might roll our eyes but they'd get points for acknowledging the reality and managing it in a classy and clever way.

That's wonderful.

If I had the money I'd adopt rather than go the surrogate route. But good for him.
