Members Cruising Soaps Posted August 22, 2018 Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 I was just going to say B&B is the best-produced soap. The outside shots are real, and the sets are beautiful, and the fact that they have their real city in the background (LA) it makes it more believable. I just wish we had the writing to match the production. (And some acting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted August 22, 2018 Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 I want to know if there's a magic number for cancellation. If a show has less than one million average viewers, would that guarantee the network pulling the plug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted August 22, 2018 Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 Not as bad as DAYS but still looks like a stage play I don't know how anyone would be confused between Y&R and GH and DAYS. Clearly Y&R has the bigger budget of the 3. And ya'll talking about the lights being so bring on DAYS. It looks dark as hell every time I catch it on the TV at work. And yes it looks like one of those public access dramas from the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted August 22, 2018 Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 GH is the "Blue" lit show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 22, 2018 Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 Speaking of DOOL and TYATR (thank you @Edward Skylover ), what's the deal with Eileen Davidson? So she isn't on either show now? What a loss. Seeing SH as Susan today was... an experience. I predict she's going to get some glamorous makeover complete with elocution lessons, or at least I hope so. While a gig is a gig, no self-respecting actor wants to play another actor's creation to the point of imitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted August 22, 2018 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 But where would I get my American soap fix? But I'm not talking about previous eras. If we're looking at the current TV landscape, Y&R has better production values than Days by a very long way. I don't think he's famous in the UK. At least his sitcoms aren't. I just looked him up on Wikipedia and it looks like he'd only be known from his film work. From the UK I don't think Y&R is broadcast here. Good question, I've never seen that, I'm gonna have a look now. Interesting, I'd love to see some clips of this era if anyone has any links Last I saw B&B (due to Ashleigh Brewer being on it of Neighbours fame) the lighting was bad like Days. I might take another look as it's been a year or 2 since I last saw it. What were ATWT and GL getting when they were cancelled? Dark?? To compare, here is a screenshot of A] Days, B] Y&R and C] Home and Away. I get what you're saying about Days being dark; in the sense that there's not enough 'natural' light, I guess when I say it's too bright I mean there is too much of that artificial yellow studio lighting. In comparison, Home and Away and Y&R look very realistic. ETA It won't let me upload 3 pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted August 22, 2018 Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 GL ended with average ratings of 1.6, ATWT with a 1.8 average. Fast forward to today and DOOL is at 1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted August 22, 2018 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 Does that mean 1.5 million viewers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted August 22, 2018 Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 I disagree but there's no accounting for taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 22, 2018 Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 I believe it's the share of audience and not number of viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted August 22, 2018 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 Interesting...out of curiosity are you a fan of either of these shows? Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted August 22, 2018 Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 I was, at one time. They're both terrible now so I'd say I'm less of a fan. They've dropped in quality across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted August 22, 2018 Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 Try filtering through Imgur. Any pictures I post are through my account (it's free) and the pictures always come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted August 23, 2018 Author Members Share Posted August 23, 2018 Thanks, I have an account on there but I couldn't figure out how to get the pics to post properly. Figured it out now. So here they are; Days, Y&R and H&A: Please register in order to view this content Such a massive difference in quality between the shows.
