Members John Posted March 14, 2014 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2014 Yeah these shows aint coming back. I appuald the effort. However a company like SONY with lots of cash would have been better suited for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 14, 2014 Members Share Posted March 14, 2014 I hope Agnes does get them back, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted March 14, 2014 Members Share Posted March 14, 2014 So do I. It's a shame they weren't involved in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 14, 2014 Members Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm not sure Disney would ever have gone for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted March 14, 2014 Members Share Posted March 14, 2014 Usually once a network cancels a show it never comes back. Abc owns them lock stock and barrell lol they can't lose the rights to them. To be honest i believe PP will get something minor but to go up against their unpaid fees abc will prevail in the end.

Members Khan Posted March 14, 2014 Members Share Posted March 14, 2014 I don't know whether SONY in particular would have gotten involved. Nor do I think ABC/Disney would have entertained the suggestion (unless SONY's offer was really, really, REALLY good). But I do agree with (the gist of) John's statement that a more established, financially solvent corporation would have had better luck re-launching these shows. At this point, with everyone involved BTS moving onto other projects, I'd rather see ABC/Disney launch some brand-new, online soaps using some choice personnel (such as Agnes Nixon as an executive consultant). And as for Jeff and Rich and everyone else at PP? I think they should stick to what they know best: selling Aunt Bee phony health tonics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 14, 2014 Members Share Posted March 14, 2014 Now I have a picture of my head of them trying to rip off Aunt Bee from The Andy Griffith Show!! Nip it, nip it, nip it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted March 14, 2014 Members Share Posted March 14, 2014 +1 What is ironic is that everyone thinks that is the only age demo that watches soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted March 14, 2014 Members Share Posted March 14, 2014 Agnes sold these shows to ABC years ago. The only way she'd get them back is for her to buy the rights to AMC and OLTL back, at a huge cost, I would imagine. I doubt a woman of her age would do that. What would be the point? She can't afford to put them into production again at this point. These two iconic shows are done. I hope PP is, too. They made a mess of things, despite their good intentions.

Members amybrickwallace Posted March 14, 2014 Members Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm even more well versed in classic sitcoms than I am in soaps!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sivad40 Posted March 14, 2014 Members Share Posted March 14, 2014 I've actually theught about doing this if I ever won the PB or MM for that much amount of money but I don't think it would be a wise investment. I wonder which situation would be easier, getting the two ABC soaps or the CBS soaps from P&G? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted March 14, 2014 Members Share Posted March 14, 2014 God that is a hard question LOL. PG has a long history of not selling there shows where as ABC really was never asked. I am sure it would be a combo of a sells pitch and lots of money!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
