Commentary on the cancellation of All my children and OLTL
First of all let me tell you how much I love All My Children. It is not just a Soap to me but an enjoyable hour every day that I can spend talking with others who love my soap as we watch. I know it sounds geeky but watching “All My Children” and communicating with others who loved the same soap opened up the world for me. From a shy introvert I could suddenly communicate better with others.
I have watched many stories over the years. I remember watching Erica with Nick Davis and describing it all to my blind grandmother. I remember watching Nina fall in love with Cliff Warner while Palmer schemed and plotted and set the Dobermans on Cliff and Daisy. I remember watching Jenny and Greg with my young daughter who also loved their romance.
I remember the introduction of Jesse and the friendship with Jenny that he had and the summer they spent in NYC.I remember showing my daughter actors who were on different shows and explaining to her that Jenny was played by an actress and that she wasn’t really dead ahead of time. Eternia and crazy Nikki, Tina and Cord so many memories of wonderful stories on “All My Children” and “One life to live” shared with my daughters. My grandmother and others that will now be all I have left as “All My Children” has been cancelled. For what a few dollars and a talk show no one will watch.
People watch this show and skewing the demographics to only record the viewers who are first of all only 18-34 and then not taking into account all those who watch by internet or recording of some sort is not only foolish but down right silly. Many more young viewers are only watching programs on the internet and to disregard that fact is like throwing the baby out with the bath water. Also Advertisers have to stop focusing on the 18-34 ages. Sorry if I’m offending those ages my daughters fit into but those ages are not well off .They have been left behind in the downturn of the economy and the real money that the advertisers are going after lie in the hands of those 34+.So start listening Advertisers we want our soaps and are prepared to boycott those who advertise for these new talk shows that are replacing “One life to live” and “All My Children.” As to Mr. Frons who thinks that the advertisers pulling out is not a big deal think again without revenue dollars how do you produce a show? So think hard and think is it really worth it to throw away years of goodwill for a network simply because for some reason Mr. Frons doesn’t seem to like Soaps?
As for Disney you are shooting yourself in the pocketbook by cancelling Soaps. Soaps can be lucrative but by hiring writers with non-existent writing skills you really do limit your viewers.
Guess who the loyal viewers were that remained watching the soap that was decimated? That’s right you guessed it long time viewers who you choose not to count because they are over 34.These are the same viewers who bought the Campbell soup and supported the sponsors products because they are loyal to a fault. However these same viewers are tired of being taken for granted tired of being passed over by executives at ABC Disney who think their loyalty is worthless. So these viewers are fighting back with everything they’ve got in them they want their Soaps and they aren’t going to take it anymore.
A side note: Hoover is supporting All my children AND HAS PULLED THEIR ADS. Yahoo Hoover we love you if you are on twitter follow @HooverCleans as a thank-you

Please, send your emails to us at SaveTheSoaps@Hoover.com, and we’ll get every, single last one of them to ABC.
