How long do you think the new CBS Daytime version will last?
It'll last just long enough for CBS to say "d'oh, we really messed up by ditching Guiding Light! Darn." I give it 2 months.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it, but it doesn't matter. No matter if it fails or succeeds, CBS will be glad to have cheaper fare to put out there. Game shows cost virtually nothing to put on, soap operas cost plenty....and CBS doesn't even want to put on the cut-rate version of GL that they've pulled.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't all that long ago that the big three networks were producing quality movies of the week, and all manner of programming with excellent production value. Those days are gone. Look to the web. I'm watching Empire, and enjoying it. Imagine if they had some money to put into it?
I agree Snapper, I believe NBC and ABC are waiting to see how lets make a deal does and unfortunately it will make more money than GL simply because its cheaper to produce. What they don't realize though is there is one things soap watchers do and that is they are loyal to their shows and if you cancel them we don't come back so shows like lets make a deal will have some trouble finding a loyal audience so it might be harder for them to find people to purchase ads for the timeslot but thats about it. Its very sad that an iconic soap was cancelled for a wayne brady hosted lets me a deal.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of when NBC pulled the plug on "Search for Tomorrow" and replaced it with the mediocre and short-lived game show "Wordplay." I'm a little surprised that LMAD will be an hour rather than a half-hour paired with another show. The NBC primtime LMAD hosted by Billy Bush was an hour long, and each episode just felt too long.
ReplyDeleteThree to 6 months and then replaced by an expanded CBS Morning Show or the time slot may be given back to the affiliates.
ReplyDeleteCBS should try airing a dubbed telenovela or Aussie soap.
Even if the ratings don't match GL's, CBS won't care because the production costs have to be so much less. Also - there are product placement deals which are going to be made here by the producers with respect to the items behind Door Number 3 and you can bet that CBS will get a cut of those fees. This is the wave of the future...cheap production costs, easier to replace shows (if this one fails, put in another one), no actor contracts to negotiate, no unionized drama writers, etc...
ReplyDeleteWith that host? Three months tops.
ReplyDeleteGreat comparison, Rob. I posted a Flashback article about Wordplay. It lased from December 29, 1986 to September 4, 1987.
ReplyDeleteThe original run of LMAD on ABC Daytime ended when ABC expanded OLTL and GH to 45 mins each in July 1976.
ReplyDeleteI'm also reminded of CBS's replacement of "The Secret Storm" with "Tattletales" and ABC's replacement of "Dark Shadows" with the revival of "Password."
