Members ReddFoxx Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 S*** gets used on the Walking Dead, which is on AMC, a station that is sometimes on a lower tier than OWN, so I'm guessing cussing to a certain extent on cable is okay.

Members OLTL_fan Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 This is such great news. I'll definitely catch up with AMC this way. If OWN keeps doing this, I may just cancel Hulu Plus and watch the shows here. When it says they will air the first 40 episodes, that doesn't include those Friday specials does it? Without them, both shows would have aired 24 episodes by tomorrow if I counted correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 I believe it was a mistake not considering the soaps when she was launching OWN. The network had no vision was a total disaster for the first couple years. Having the passionate soap fanbases and two hit shows could've helped her tremendously. And didn't she say in her statement that soaps were dead and had their time? That was a mistake, even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Oprah followed conventional wisdom about those shows at that time. That conventional wisdom just happened to be wrong - as was the aesthetic vision she and Frons had for OWN and ABC, respectively. I found the way she delivered her message at the time to be condescending and ill-informed, but at the same time I could hardly blame her for not wanting to front all that money herself. This move however, with PP running them, after proven viewership, is a smart business decision. And the fact is that Oprah is good news for soaps, period.

Members SFK Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 My mind done already jumped to a splashy cross-promotional "The Return of Erica Kane" sit-down interview on Oprah's Next Chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members greens_dupres Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 I don't think so especially since its a Monday-Thursday air schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JackPeyton Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Wait... I thought Oprah was the big bad devil lady that refused to save soaps because she hates them? This. Is. Hilarious. But on reals, congrats to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 I don't think it was a bad decision at all. PP still has not proven that removing both shows from network television was a mistake. Shows were dropping like flies, and it made no good business sense for Oprah to dive in and pick them up. What's she's now doing? This makes sense! I see nothing but profit for her while bringing an audience to her network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LindaTNo1 Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Angie and Jesse are role models in the AA community. Debbi and Darnell are role models in the AA community. Oprah had them on when she had her final 25th year on her talk show. She interviewed both together. It would be great to have them do an interview for an hour show to honor their 30 years working together as colleagues and in real life very close personal friends, BFF for life.
