I hope they can get AMC, OLTL and GH but not from the 2000s/10's/20's

[victoria foxton]

I would love it. If it was classic stuff. But it will be fairly recent stuff. No way i'll watch  Passanante/Altman era GH.

[Forever8]

I would love to see Ryan's Hope and perhaps Capitol (Does CBS still own the rights to that show?) Too bad it seems P&G will hold onto their library of shows until the end of the world. Imagine this channel airing 80's Another World or The Edge Of Night. 

[ChitHappens]

OMG!  Ryan's Hope and Another World, please!!!

[BingCherry]

CBS owns the rights to Sunset Beach, right?  

[KMan101]

I'm guessing they were bombarded by social media and media questioning them lol. Good to know more is to come. We'll see where this goes ...

 

I don't feel like they'll just randomly air whatever, who knows, but YES PLEASE. 

 

I always wonder about P&G. We had the AOL streaming thing. We had soap classics dvds. Another World was on SoapNet. But they seem so uninterested. I'd love to get ATWT and GL (and Edge, etc.) ... I don't really believe CBS wanted to buy them but P&G really should have sold their soap products off. (And if CBS did they'd just sit on the shelf collecting dust like AMC and OLTL are over at ABC)

 

I won't be 'greedy' and I'd simply be ecstatic to have Classic Y&R rerun. They seem to believe there's room for Classic B&B on YouTube so .... I know music, rights, etc. but still ... let's go ...

(reruns are just one main reason I think it was a mistake for the soaps to be a full hour. B&B is "easier", Ryan's Hope, Dark Shadows, The Doctors ... all half hour and more palatable to sit through)

 

Question is, are they going to be a catch-all soap streaming channel or are they trying to stick with CBS-esque/affiliated soaps? You know?

Pluto is a godsend for MST3K, RiffTrax, Dark Shadows and classic Doctor Who, among others. They also do 90210 and Melrose IIRC. The super low-rent ads they run in the abrupt commercial breaks crack me up, but I can keep Pluto on all night when I get sleep or am feeling low.

My idea of hell would be ABC, etc. licensing out soap reruns only from 2000-on which is probably what I can see happening, lol.

[KMan101]

lol at the abrupt commercial breaks. So true.

 

It's nice to sometimes have Baywatch on in the background or 90210. I watched Melrose Place last night instead of Y&R (my first time on the Pluto soaps channel). I was so bored, sorry Y&R.

 

I could see the latter

Mid 90's P&G soaps would be a chore too watch.

[Wendy]

I'd wish for Santa Barbara, but I know that will never happen for a host of reasons. If not that, I'd love to see Days of Our Lives, from the '60s (before my time) until the early '90s. Considering what Ron Carlivati has done to it, I'd like to remember when the show was worth watching.

[Forever8]

I wouldn't mind Sunset Beach to be aired on there too. 

[DramatistDreamer]

Your idea of hell is similar to mine, only with P&G. And with boosters of certain a ATWT former executive producer and HW from that era of the show, they'd likely be the loudest cheerleaders and get heard first.

[KMan101]

 

Yeah I could see either. I imagine lots of 2000s years.

[SFK]

B&B is airing as I type this. If I’m not careful, this show is going to take over too many hours of my day with the current, from the beginning, and Pluto eps airing. I’m a little frustrated with the Pluto website. I can’t find a full schedule, it only appears to show what’s airing at the moment. Any help?
