One life to live has been on the forefront on real issues for years now and don't deserve to be cut. All my children I must admit has gotten a little boring and I hope they end it with some happy endings instead of the same o same o.. God knows I will miss them, I rush home from work to watch my DVR every day and have been an ABC Soap fan forever...I think it’s a huge mistake, but can't buck the people with the bucks pun intended.Atlanta Roofinghttp://www.hotfrog.com/Companies/Atlanta-Roofing-Resourcesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-42826065254865314552011-04-14T21:57:52.755-04:002011-04-14T21:57:52.755-04:00OLTL has been the best show on ABC for a long time...OLTL has been the best show on ABC for a long time now. I also will be boycotting all of ABC, of which I have always been a loyal viewer. Goodbye GMA, World News, Desperate Housewives. I think it's a great idea to get in touch with any advertisers who buy into the new programming and tell them we will not buy their products as another way of boycotting ABC. Also boycotting everything Disney!!!

These days, insightful and engaging storytelling is a rarity in both daytime and primetime. Programs have become bland because building an audience and honoring television history doesn't mean anything to executives. All executives care about is embracing current fads that will make them the most money in the shortest period of time. <br /><br />If ABC truly cared about their viewers, they would have considered other, cost-effective options. Why not return to a half hour format? ABC could have also tried distributing the shows to an international audience. Both of these business models have helped sustain the Bold and the Beautiful for decades. Another option would have been to reduce the number of weekly episodes as Direct TV tried with Passions.<br /><br />American soap operas have always been comfort food to our nation and a creative way to understand the human condition. I applaud Agnes Nixon as well as all of the AMC and OLTL actors, writers, and crew members who have given some much of their time and talent over the decades. I hope they understand that there is still a market for the work they do and that people do still care about good storytelling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-64812261404732370892011-04-14T18:41:28.870-04:002011-04-14T18:41:28.870-04:00All garbage.
