I love Sara Haines and appreciate Strahan after seeing him in person a few years ago, but the show has gotta go ... for various reasons. lol. 

 

I think this is their way out of it but who knows? Just relaunch AMC and OLTL at a half hour each. AMC 1:00pm, OLTL 1:30pm. Done.

For sure, this crisis might remind people just how valuable daily, high-quality, character-driven storytelling might be to our lives.

yep, no doubt about that one. lol. I get she wanted 'her own show' but I always thought she was nuts to leave (or be moved) considering Strahan has a seemingly secure gig on OG GMA and she gets the honor to fill in for Lara and pop in for 30 seconds to promote GMA 3.

I hope Strahan gets canned somehow.  He'll always have his NFL gigs.  Planting a tracking device on a girl, ditching Kelly and ABC backing him up, and he's not that popular on GMA, and his name is ahead of Sara's in the billing - it became Strahan and Sara and whoever Keke is.  He's flunking badly.  I agree, Sara should have stayed on the View but I don't see GMA3 as being her show.  They pandered to Strahan.  They just keep pushing him.  

 

And no offense, but maybe so actually.  I was watching Kelly and Micheal one day when he was still a co-host, and one of the trivia dancers was wearing a #21 Washington Redskins jersey.  I'm from the DC area and still live here.   Strahan said - about the person doing the stupid selfie trivia dance that they feature - he said I played for the Giants and so not a Redskins fan and definitely not a fan of the player who wore that jersey.  #21 was Sean Taylor who was murdered and I think if someone is dead, you have a little more professionalism and respect.  I didn't like Michael anyway, but that sealed it for me.

Same! Same same same! I keep hoping ... I almost feel like they're just waiting too long at this point though.

 

And Sara has been SO welcome back at The View. It's so refreshing to have her back. She just needs to go back there. My gut instinct told me from the start GMA 2/2.0/3 whatever wouldn't take off really. It never quite knew what it wanted to be either. And most folks aren't going to "hang around" until 1pm for GMA 2. If Good Afternoon America didn't take, why would this, even with Strahan and Sara?

 

I'm glad Sara had the opportunity though to be the host of her own show (well, it was really "Strahan" but ...)

      Maeve breaks me reading that letter. If you ever need to cry, look it up. Other than the dopey line about Henry wanting to come home to Van's rice (or tapioca) pudding (VANESSA CHAMBERLAIN DOES NOT COOK, Y'all...) it's a sweet sign-off to one of the best father/daughter relationships on soaps. Other than Ross, and Bill (if he says something, which I assume he does) and the letter, the rest of it is BS. I haven't watched it in a while, but it typifies what I dislike most about events that should be laden in history. The writers are too lazy to do the work and get it right. And it becomes about making sure characters X, Y and Z make their guarantees. Roger being there is an abomination. Henry never ever saw Nola as a gold-digger. She and Quint were practically engaged before he even knew Quint was his son. Before that, he was fairly close to Bea and enjoyed Nola's spirit. And Henry never helped Rick become an Eagle Scout.  I get that maybe you don't want to play Amanda#1 or Dinahs 1&2, or Billy, Trish or Alan #1 clips, but damn it....don't make stuff up. I'd have much rather watched clips from Henry, Vanessa and Ross' early days than Rick blather on, or nuMichelle try and dig for a human-like emotion or wonder why after TEN YEARS, Dinah and Quint have never met.   Do not remember anyone named Tina. I barely remember Dahlia, and that's mostly because for a while, I saw Sharon Leal in everything after she left GL.   Reva and Josh airhogs? ALWAYS, darling. ALWAYS. RME. I hate to tar and feather Robert Newman with that brush, but DAMN.

      I am so happy now. Reminds me of the 80s show I loved. Ron really did the cast and fans dirty. The only people complaining are those who only knew Ron and his whiplash plot driven stories

      Source for this? Especially since Benz was already on AMC as Linda Connor.

      Ratings from the 1990s

      By kalbir · Posted

      @soapfan770 1995/96 to 1999/2000 were not very good in primetime. CBS and ABC both had primetime mess eras, and that's how NBC got away with their Thursday garbage shows finishing in the Top 10. Remember too that ABC was sold to Disney in 1996.  As for ABC primetime mess era, it started with the Top 10 fallout of Roseanne and ended with the breakout success of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Monday Night Football and Home Improvement pretty much kept ABC alive in that era.

      This show is miles better under the new writers. It's really a condemnation of Carlivati, because he had the characters and history to write good soap. Instead, he turned it into a joke and a farce. I've heard some people says DAYS is now "too talky." Miss me with that stupid analysis.
