Their request: put the soap operas on the OWN Network. <\/p>\n<p>But, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvline.com\/2011\/04\/tvline-items-oprah-wont-save-amc-oltl\/\" target=\"blank\">TVLine<\/a>, Oprah has put the hammer down on said request. In a video (embedded below), Oprah states: &#8220;I understand the loyalty, the sense of disappointment&#8230;[b]ut here is the<br \/>\n[deep] bone-marrow truth: There are just not enough people who are at home in the daytime to watch them, and because of that, they&#8217;re going off the air.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She went on to say, &#8220;I will not be taking on the responsibility of trying to revive an institution that for all intents and purposes indicates the time has come for it to be over&#8230;Thank you for thinking I could save them, but I really can\u2019t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was a long shot to call out to Oprah for help, but it make a bit of sense, especially since <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2011\/02\/28\/oprah-own-network-struggl_n_829148.html\" target=\"blank\">reports<\/a> show that her fledgling network is seriously lagging behind in the ratings; the soap operas might have given her network a bit of an uptick. At least that&#8217;s what it seems like to this blogger, who is outside of the inner workings of television business. At any rate, I understand why Oprah won&#8217;t go out of her way to save the soap operas: it&#8217;s not her fight to fight, not necessarily. <\/p>\n<p>But, it&#8217;s also a little weird even for ABC, and by extension, Oprah, to say that no one watches soaps. With the huge outpouring of sadness, <em>somebody<\/em> had to have been watching soaps in the daytime. And even if many fans weren&#8217;t watching the shows in the daytime, they could&#8217;ve been recording the shows on their DVRs, watching them online, or even buying them on iTunes. So it&#8217;s very possible ABC didn&#8217;t take into account the <em>online<\/em> presence soaps have in the entertainment landscape. <\/p>\n<p>And, there is still &#8220;Days of our Lives&#8221; on NBC, &#8220;The Bold and the Beautiful&#8221; and &#8220;The Young and the Restless&#8221; on CBS, (granted, they got rid of &#8220;As the World Turns&#8221;), and even &#8220;General Hospital&#8221; (JAMES FRANCO), which is on <strong>ABC<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a solution: what about putting the soaps on SOAPNet? That still exists, right? Put the shows on the all-soap network. Makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>And if daytime&#8217;s such a dead timeslot, why would ABC think anyone&#8217;s going to watch their new lifestyle shows? They&#8217;re taking the same slot&#8211;how can a different show revive the same so-called &#8220;dead&#8221; slot?<\/p>\n<p>What do you guys think?
