  1. More daytime viewers are going to continue to stop watching The View and the entire ABC lineup, boycotting ABC until ABC admits it made a grave error in cancelling AMC and OLTL. The only show I watch on ABC all day is General Hospital. Who is gain from ABC's mistake.....CBS and The Talk. Will ABC ever learn to listen to its viewer? Probably not.

  2. The only reason The Talk is up in ratings is because there is no daytime soap opera opposite it's time slot. And when you consider the lesser of two boring evils - The Talk or The Revolution? Well I can't wait until General Hospital moves to the same Talk time slot. You will see an exodus of viewers who want to watch a bunch of nonsense women talk about nothing!
