Was This The Plan All Along?Kevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13659344675956886092noreply@blogger.comBlogger9125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-23205885190097331022009-12-08T16:58:31.535-05:002009-12-08T16:58:31.535-05:00I agree with all the comments here.

P & G/Telenext will make the "claim" that they want to continue with ATWT, but believe me - they want out.<br /><br />I can't help but think of my grandparents who used to watch GL and ATWT loyally since the beginning (and who got me hooked on both!). My grandmother passed away in 2000, and my grandfather in 2003. I can't imagine what they would think about this...so very sad.Zane Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508795707643124821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-60300505497337715312009-12-08T16:24:17.922-05:002009-12-08T16:24:17.922-05:00Absolutely, CBS had decided this in April already!...Absolutely, CBS had decided this in April already!

How long until they change gameshows due to low viewership I don't think LMAD or whatever they replace ATWT with will be the hit that Millionaire, Price is right, or even deal or no deal is.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652359800351378587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-76886035721028657732009-12-08T15:58:43.403-05:002009-12-08T15:58:43.403-05:00I think you're right, Roger.

CBS probably wanted to wait until after November sweeps were done so they could get an accurate reading of what ATWT was doing and how Let's Make a Deal did during it's first Sweeps. That would give them enough to make a model that "proved" their theory that they make more money off a game show, and it's all about the bottom line to them.<br /><br />Of course, Telenext is spinning already with the "we're trying to find another home for ATWT" line, but we all remember how that turned out with GL.Scott Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251796083487727007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-14248176847675936492009-12-08T15:27:28.515-05:002009-12-08T15:27:28.515-05:00Is there any chance the show could move to another...Is there any chance the show could move to another network/cable?<br /><br />There's a lot of lead time...SoapFan78https://www.blogger.com/profile/16867531085107236880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-255823454573336862009-12-08T12:20:40.649-05:002009-12-08T12:20:40.649-05:00I remember during all the GL hoopla, a GL insider ...I remember during all the GL hoopla, a GL insider said that ATWT would probably be cancelled by christmas time and that they wouldn't wait until after the new year.<br /><br />P&G wants out and CBS wants nothing to do with them.marleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12227452482473505920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-11384693116067521042009-12-08T11:39:08.031-05:002009-12-08T11:39:08.031-05:00I thought the handwriting was on the wall when GL ...I thought the handwriting was on the wall when GL was cancelled. They probably just didn't want to deal with the fallout from two fan favorites at the same time. Wasn't the word on the street that it might not make it past 2009?
