Then, when/IF the other cast members become available, weave them into the beautiful fabric that was once OLTL, and complete the quilt!!MrsHubbyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03630387871853072188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-33211724854826352802012-02-05T14:33:24.692-05:002012-02-05T14:33:24.692-05:00You and me both!!!You and me both!!!MrsHubbyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03630387871853072188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-59752391620507063882012-02-05T14:25:45.987-05:002012-02-05T14:25:45.987-05:00Wow.

You only want people from the streets I guess to be on the show. Sounds greedy to try to keep a show running!! <br /><br />It's the same thing everyday I heard. I have only watched it a few times and I'm not impressed at all. Who needs to see someone loss weight and get dressed. Can do that at a Weight Watchers meeting or on other channels. Like all those infomercials at night. There are too many of these kind of shows on the aire. Same thing with the Chew. Don't need to watch someone cook the same things they cook on the FoodNetwork or Bravo. Leave the cooking shows for FoodNetwork. AND BRING BACK our EXTREME MAKEOVER HOME EDITION. I love Ty so please give him something that shows his talent and love for the community. We need something on the aire that actually has meaning, love, and community. Our 10 year old son doesn't understand why ABC would even take such a show off the aire. He was very sad and had tons of questions and still does.

They are trying to bribe people to see this piece of crap because nobody wants to see it and they think that the locals might do it in this down economy. This show is produced by JD Roth, the same guy that produces NBC's The Biggest Loser. JD hosted one of my favorite kids game shows growing up, Finders Keepers. JD should go back to what he does best, kids shows and The Biggest Loser. #soaprevolutionbenravensfan02https://www.blogger.com/profile/02917888140695754682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-21311692339319106412012-02-02T20:28:52.360-05:002012-02-02T20:28:52.360-05:00OMG, Extras that's Desperate They should just ...OMG, Extras that's Desperate They should just do a giveaway like Kelly and the View.

What line of BS are they TELLING the sh...Good GOD. What line of BS are they TELLING the shareholders & stockholders at this point to keep these social nightmares on the air? I really do want to know!!!!<br /><br />This reminds me of the upheaval and mismanagement at ABC just prior to Aaron Spelling giving us Dynasty and all the OTHER hit shows of that time. As I remember it, the executives jobs at the time were about as cursed as Defense Against The Dark Arts, due to HORRIBLE decisions made and the network's public image being in the toilet THEN, like it is again now. Complete upper management bloodbath happened, and Aaron's golden touch was the ace in the hole for the freshly-promoted new execs.<br /><br />It truly bothers me that the higher-ups at Disney, obviously repeating history with the ABC network, currently seem completely oblivious to what should be happening as we speak: MASSIVE firings and investigations into their conduct. I'm no tax or financial advisor, but the numbers don't add up, the ratings are a sucking chest wound bleeding all over creation, and I have serious questions about who's being paid off to keep this scam going. Because that's what this whole mess smells like to me. One big corporate shell game, and if this is SAVING money while bribing audiences in with money... HOW is any of this a success if the ad revenues are in danger due to the ratings? <br /><br />No. Something is seriously wrong, and I'm stunned beyond belief that nobody's called in the authorities to question if the company is ethically, financially, OR legally sound. Because just from here, I can smell a very ROTTEN STINK. And nothing being looked into about it? THAT is truly criminal.<br /><br />"The one sure way for evil to flourish, is for good men to do nothing."Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340380742137672193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-55481275736580892692012-02-02T19:47:33.271-05:002012-02-02T19:47:33.271-05:00ABC you really can redeem yourself.
