Members Cheap21 Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 not surprised at all. AMC to me always felt more appealing and got more exposure than OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 It's Days. If it's not Reilly's demented ghost or a Reilly cover band about 75% of the Internet tunes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 This is what I'm saying. Not every episode has to be bombastic but SOMETHING needs to be introduced to really intrigue the audience and I don't feel they've done that as well as they'd hoped.

Members Pine Charles Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 What would you like to see? So far, we have a bunch of mysteries going on, a young woman has been abducted, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Days22 Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 For the record is is harder trying to get my friends/new viewers into AMC than OLTL so far. Skewing young + slow pace is not a good combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 It hasn't bothered me that it's been slower and easygoing. I think it fits the show's history and its tone. It's developing something about the town at large and how it's experienced the last five years. But I was built in as a viewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Days22 Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 For the record I like the build for the most part. I do feel like where as OLTL appeals to both old fans of the show and genre and new fans of the show and genre. AMC only appeals to old fans of the show and genre so far. If I was not a soap opera fan in general I would not be hooked on AMC. Which is what I am seeing with my friends so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 If I were trying to get people to watch and hooked? First off whether La Lucci returns tomorrow or a year from now, people soap fans or not know the name Erica Kane, and I would've name dropped her and at least shown a picture of her in the first episode. I would've revealed at least one of the dead or injured. The one thing that did intrigue me that I thought was done right, was slightly showing Cassandra's abduction.

Members RomeAt50 Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 IA. The show didn't reveal much the first episode and imo that was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 And that's fine for built in viewers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 While the Erica Kane character is familiar to most (the name, anyway), I doubt showing a photo of her would hook new viewers. Fans who watched on ABC (like me) would have liked the nod, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Days22 Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 Exactly I think most people will give it a week or two however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'm not saying I think there's anything wrong with AMC - I don't really think there is. But I admit my perception may be colored by my history as a viewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 I apologize for the negative tone of my nature, and if others are enjoying it I'm glad. Just offering a different perspective on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
