Members skiman12082004 Posted April 9, 2013 Members Share Posted April 9, 2013 They are both equally HORRIBLE IMHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marco Dane Posted April 9, 2013 Members Share Posted April 9, 2013 Frons, he systematically destroyed 3 shows on ABC and 3 or 4 on NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Members Share Posted April 9, 2013 Not to familiar with Frons on NBC. What crap did he pull there? Wasn't that during the 70s or something? How bad was Barbara Bloom anyway? Honestly, I really don't know much about her reign of terror. I take it Angelica McDannials (Name Right??) is better.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 9, 2013 Members Share Posted April 9, 2013 Aren't they one in the same? I mean both of them have a sh*tty track record. Both of them participated in nepotism. Both of them ha a hand in destroying legendary shows (even though the ABC shows have bounced back in a newer format). Frons' track record might be a bit longer than Bloom's but a show killer is a show killer, so quantity does not matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted April 9, 2013 Members Share Posted April 9, 2013 I know both were bad, but I have to go with Frons....I'm sure Y&R/B&B would have been done however if Bloom was still in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 9, 2013 Members Share Posted April 9, 2013 Frons, hands down. He had more power, and his actions, as well as public personality, were just obnoxious and ridiculous and offensive. It's no wonder why so many AMC and OLTL people are now openly talking about his incompetence after having their mouths duct taped for ten years.

Members sheilaforever Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'd say Bloom was forced to cancel ATWT and GL (due to low demo numbers) whereas Frons tried to make a mark for himself by rebranding daytime at ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Bloom rebranded daytime at CBS as well. Look at the Lucy Johnson-era ads and the Barbara Bloom-era ads. Not a huge Lucy Johnson fan, but Brian Frons just got more press for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sjbeutel Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Brian Frons did get to play god on Santa Barbara in the 1980's, when he was in charge of NBC Daytime. Kinda suits him well, he thought he was the god of soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Susan Hunter Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Truthfully, I don't think that either one is bad. I think they were part of a much larger corporate agenda, but either misread or couldn't figure out how to make the corporate agenda work with the eccentricities of daytime television and daytime television audiences.

Members Khan Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Actually, Barbara Bloom and Brian Scott Frons are one and the same. If you ever watched an episode of "Passions," then you know what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted April 12, 2013 Members Share Posted April 12, 2013 Did either one of them have anything to do with Passions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
