    Well it looks like the writing’s on the wall people.  It’s just a matter of time.

    This does not bode well for the few soaps left. They are no longer cost efficient and effective and when

    ABC cancels these two, you know the end is near for all of them. They can put alternate programming

    on for a song, and it is sad how the mighty have fallen recently. Let us hope Days sticks around a bit longer,

    as you would think NBC would want at least 1 soap remaining on the TV.

    The question is how long will NBC keep putting money into them what with ratings falling like summer rain and

    salaries escalating too…..

    to get the writing into top notch condition?  Unless, Corday doesn’t really care and figures he’s ready to go whenever NBC decides.

    Maybe the writers for those shows could be hired by Days.

     they are ‘contracted’ with Sony/Corday Productions through 2013, so if they did decide to cancel DOOL, NBC would have to pay them through the end of the contract, and I don’t believe they would be willing to do that.  So, I think we’re safe until then.

    Corday and the writers to up their game and quit with the dragged out stories and ridiculous situations.  One can only hope!

    I heard on the news last night when they were talking about these cancellations that maybe Oprah will pick up these soaps on her new OWN network.  Now that would be something I’d vote for.  I can’t help but think she’d get more ratings out of them than she will with most of her current programming.  There’s an awful lot of faithful viewers are here.  The biggest problem is that we don’t watch the commercials.

     My guess is that they would also be too expensive for even Oprah.  What she has on her network is a lot of repeats, cheap to produce talk shows, and movies.  I could see her possibly taking the best of the two or merging them and trimming the cast way down. But, she’d have to buy the rights to the show(s) from ABC or Disney as they own the shows I believe.  NBC is now owned by Comcast (a cable network) so they may be able to keep better track of the ratings on a show that they can control (through their new NBC ownership).
