  • Yeah I agree with that question about OUR soaps. Why did she cancel our soaps. The soaps have been in our families for generations. My mother has watched the ABC soaps since the first day they aired. Why take our soaps away for a crummy food show etc? Why? Why? At cant they at least put them on the soap net. Damn that’s what the soap net is for … Its to air our favorite soaps. We have enough crummy shows on the air as it is we don’t need anymore, especially to take the place of our family soaps. To us soap fans the characters are more like family than just soap stars.

• I’m sure Kimmel made progress. He’s awful! This guy is on the list of funny in a room of 10 number 7. His looks are 7. His wit is 8. His interviewing skills are 9.
  Fallon is so far ahead of him there is no comparison.
  Kimmel started as the tieless guy and now is the tie goat.

  Just a joke that ABC doesn’t pluck an unknown instead of Kimmel. He is a bore.

  Thank you kindly.

• We, as in our family and friends are continuing our boycotting of ALL THINGS ABC and Disney for their having canceled “One Life to Live” and “All My Children.”

  In response to these cancellation policy decisions, decisions made by Disney’s Robert Iger and ABC’s Anne Sweeney and Brian Frons, ABC is witnessing half of the Daytime audience fan base flee its network programming entirely, as some acutely perceptive observers many months ago had well predicted would be the tragic outcome.

  In an honorable business culture, these three individuals would have already committed a form of corporate “hari kari” for having offended and injured as many parties as they have through their rank incompetence, poor business decision making, and despicable treatment of their customers/loyal viewers of many decades duration.

  And, moreover, for their manifest classless crude abuse, deception, and disrespect they rained on the ever talented casts and crews of “One Life to Live” and “All My Children.” Iger, Frons, and Sweeney are disgraces to the honorable traditions that have historically prevailed in the American entertainment and broadcasting industries, and the latter Ms. Sweeney in having been complicit to the extreme in Mr. Frons’ notorious in the public record, chronic repeated ageist and sexist conduct, is a disgrace to the American womens movement that tragically paved the opportunity for her; powerfully witness her wrecking operations in a Bain Capital-like looting fashion of a great American storytelling genre birthed by writer Agnes Nixon that sustained primetime programming on this country’s networks for decades.

  Then, the three of them, Iger, Sweeney and Frons went on to replace such iconic American classics (with millions of LOYAL daytime viewers) with junk programming a la The Spew and The Revulsion in further debasing the American contemporary television medium. Shame on the three of them and let damn be done! ABC/Disney: Release the rights now being held “hostage” to those shows and allow another network or cable provider to bring these shows back to their audiences. For once, do the right thing and cease your contemptuous conduct toward your customer base that is inimical to every sound business practice. Begin, then, to advertise ABC in a positive public light.
