Members ~bl~ Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 If I watch days it is on tv right now is not entertaining enough to spend time to stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 So, it seems like although the news is shocking, the experience of how we consume the show wouldn't change that much, and it makes it easier to "second screen", so that people can post and chat as they watch.

Members AbcNbc247 Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 Depends on what time Peacock posts the episodes. The smart thing to do would be to post them at like 12 or 1 in the afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 She would be my dream pick, but even she would admit it’s a tough job and Lorne protected the show in a way that just won’t be possible anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gray Bunny Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 Side note: if our dreams came true and they uploaded the entire 57 year catalog of the series to stream, I wonder which eras/decades would have the most hits. I know I wouldn’t be interested in anything past 2002 aside from some hate-watching of the serial killer story of ‘03/04. I’d be all about the 80’s and 90’s.

Members titan1978 Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 I know he has had to justify the musical guests during almost every season budget renewal, and also he has protected the show airing the way it does- live, with the cold open, weekend update as a centerpiece, musical guests, etc. Also the way the show is run- from the writer’s night to final show, three weeks and a break. So while I think the show would continue without him, minus the budgets and more network interference, I just don’t think we get a better show out of the tinkering. My apologies for hijacking this thread with SNL talk- I’m as obsessed with the bts of SNL as I am with with soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 No worries Please register in order to view this content I’m the one who originally brought it up. My last comment on it - in this day and age of YouTube and viral clips, I absolutely think SNL could and should continue, with the right person(s) at the helm.

Members AbcNbc247 Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 That's what would probably have the most hits: 82-87 and probably like 93-99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 I would miss the 90 minute format, but many other changes (like not needing Update every week or just having one musical performance a week, or even changing up the writing schedule) I really wouldn't be as sorry to see, to be honest...although whether we'd get another show, who knows. As you said, this is better suited for the SNL thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 Passions move to streaming years ago and began with 3 eppies/week, then 2. Eventually, eppies just didn't air consistently until we were told it was canceled. Direct TV gained many new accounts but the show didn't last very long after the move.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Considering how bad Days has been I watch it on DVR that way I can fast forward what characters/stories I don't like and I can fast forward the commercials. Seeing Days live would be a big chore in its current state. Edited August 4, 2022 by Soapsuds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted August 4, 2022 Members Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) One assumes they'll post early every morning like Beyond Salem, although the UK soaps recently experimented with posting the whole week of episodes every Monday Call me when that guy gets either a digital marketing degree or spell-check. These are the same types of doomsday predictions that people said when VCRs came to market. The truth is that we don't know how people will consume serialized drama as more people cut the cord. Passions and AMC/OLTL were a lifetime ago in the age of streaming and smart tv technology. And, optimistically, given that streaming sponsorship relies on micro data of the audience, writers and creatives won't be beholden to keep trying to entice 18-35 year old viewers, if an older more dedicated audience continues to watch the show.
