Members dragonflies Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'd have loved to see faces when someone went to hula.net that makes me LOL so hard Yeah that is true but still have no desire to someone telling people what they should feel or how they should react. This to me says they're feeling a big time backlash and don't like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members greens_dupres Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 Word. Every time I look at the FB and see comments like "what channel are you on? I've been looking everywhere" and "I will not pay for this. Soaps should be free ,like they were on ABC," or my personal favorite "Bring back the old Clint," I want to bang my head against the wall 5000 times. I've realized there are many many very confused fans of this show. I am not sure that PP can do anything to help them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 For every stupid comment there were alot more smart ones to balance it out. If they're basing this on stupid stuff said on the FB page then wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hmmm, I wonder if the original decision to have only the last ten (?) episodes available on Hulu affected this. Within a couple of weeks, if you haven't watched yet, you can't go back. By the time they figured out how to go to Hulu, the episodes were down All joking aside, I think they should have given it a little more time than that. If a primetime episode is up for about 4 weeks (more, if there has not been a new episode in a while) and people STILL have issues catching up, how can they expect people to catch up faster on 10 episodes? Then again, this might just be the company line. In any case, if the production schedule is about to collapse and they have been receiving a lot of complaints about not being able to catch up, I see why they're doing this.

Members Soaplovers Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 I think April 29th was too soon to premiere both shows, I would have held off the premiere until summer-time (less prime-time shows to compete with during summer-time). Plus, it would have given the shows more time to produce more episodes and edit the shows more cleanly. Plus, I would have had the shows air three times a week just in case there weren't enough episodes in the can at time of both premieres. That way, if production was going well and there were more then enough episodes of each then PP could have authorized 4 episodes a week.. Maybe if there is a climax of a particular story, offer up 4 episodes that week and make it a special event and promote the hell out of it. Just my two cents.

Members greens_dupres Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 Totally true. I just hope PP can accept that some of these more delusional commenters just will not be watching if its not on ABC at 2 pm no matter what they do but hopefully the shows pick up some lapsed and new viewers who might not be as emphatically commenting on FB. I think them feeling some backlash could be a good thing long term. It may eventually get us 40 minute episodes twice a week as they try to appease everyone. It may make them look harder for a TV deal so they won't be entirely dependent on Hulu advertising revenue. Obviously the people who are all "2 episodes a week, I'm done" are not helping AT ALL but I do hope they get the message that more rather than less is ultimately what fans want.

Members marceline Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 That's the norm for Hulu. (Actually ten episodes is generous compared to some the primetime shows they have.) It's meant to drive people to Hulu Plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members greens_dupres Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 The More eps are still not up on Itunes and the Thursday episodes were also very late yesterday. I'm wondering if perhaps this is purposeful because PP mainly wants people watching on Hulu with ads. Probably overthinking and they are just not on top of things.

Members YRBB Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 Yes, I realize that. My whole point is that, two weeks for ten episodes is quite the small window (although manageable) and they should have perhaps looked into expanding that, if people have issues catching up.

Members dragonflies Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 I still lol that one the one hand they're saying people are binge watching but on the other hand they're saying people can't keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 I think the truth is that PP is no longer that excited about the soaps project. Perhaps they expected something different. Everything else is just an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 Why do we keep blaming pp when they brought Us our shows back? I am so angry at stupid fans who have no appreciation at all or gratitude. These shows should still be dead deader then a freaking door nail. It's possible they will increase the episode count once they have gotten caught up. If u don't watch or support these shows are gone. Actually just abandon them so they are dead forever. I can't stand ungrateful people. Honestly I really wish they had kept them dead because of the attitude I am seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
