“Days of our Lives” to move the hourglass to Peacock
- Thread starter only1moore
- Start date
It will take some time to get exposure i mean neither of the the conflict talkers dont fit with CW's superhero and YA content
Steve Wilkos isn't cleared in West Michigan kinda surprised that WXSP or CW7 didn't pick it up, Karamo either which again I thought CW7 or WXSP would pick it up. The only place in West Michigan that can see Karamo is on Bounce TV on WXMI .3 7AM. I knew Wood TV wasn't going to pick up either show. Wood TV only airs 4 syndication shows Rachel Ray, TMZ Live unless you count that as news celebrity gossip which I know some wouldn't consider news and don't like celebrity gossip, Inside Edition & TMZ late night at 1:30AM. Sister station WXSP airs TMZ at 10:30PM.
how about Steve Wilkos
Did you miss, somehow, the first two words of Megatron's post?
Peacock subscriber numbers are up in last quarter. Unfortunately they don’t mention DOOL as one of the reasons. https://variety.com/2022/digital/ne...ribers-q3-nbcuniversal-jeff-shell-1235392792/
It could be because they were offering Peacock 1.99 a month for a year. Let's see if they keep Peacock after the year is up when they go up to 4.99 a month.
According to Deidre Hall, the actress who plays Dr. Marlena Evans on Days of Our Lives, that is not going to happen.
"Our audience is not changing and we respect who they are and what their sensitivities are. We’re not going to become a blatantly sexual or a vile language program. We’re not going to do that; that isn’t who we are, and it’s not who our audience is. Our model has always been multi-generational families, doing something topical, human interest and of social interest. I think in those ways we’re always family-oriented. We’re always topical. Our showrunner, Ken Corday and our headwriter, Ron Carlivati stay pretty much on the cutting edge."

I can't believe all this gloom and doom about Peacock. It continues to add content, both entertainment and sports. With the decline of OTA network TV viewing and the advertising that goes with it, that content will only get stronger. I don't know whether you folks really believe what you're writing, or if you're just engaging in wishful thinking, remembering nostalgically a past in which everything was on the television airwaves for free, and it was all so wonderful. The last part of which is a crock -- the vast majority of the shows and made-for-TV movies the networks aired in the "old days" were just as crap as what's left on network TV now. You've just aged and joined the get-off-my-lawn club.
Maybe she's right - their audience is unphased by affairs and kidnappings, but would be upset by John Black saying "shit."
But if so, that strikes me as a rather weird set of "sensitivities".
EDIT: To be clear "crap" above is not the word that I wrote, that is the word replacement feature of the bulletin board software kicking in.

As far as the language is concerned, the concern is that the show will enter George Carlin territory. A word like "crap" isn't problematic at all.
The most they ever did was say s**t on beyond Salem chapter 2.
Soaps arre not immune from the rest of TV when it comes to pushing the envelope, and what they can get away with. The bigger the shock value, the bigger the ratings. And don't be fooled by Diedre Hall's Pollyanna view of DOOL. There have been many times while watching DOOLand thinking "I cant believe they can do this on daytime TV now".
And not to carry the conversation further into the gutter, but the bad word you always hear being uttered is...B?#&*, you know, that extremely derogatory word used to insult women. It may be accepted on TV, but no way will I ever put that word fully spelled ANYWHERE, and yes, even on the radiodiscusions board

Not even when referring to a female dog?
I guess the point that Deidre was trying to make is if it was not said or shown on NBC, then it will not be said or shown on Peacock.
For every MASH there were 3 "Hello Larrys"
Yeah, there's always a loophole, but does anyone still refer to their female dog that way? The word is so derogatory, even for that.
Even though they say the B words it was late 90s or early 2000s before they even said the word a** on days even though they said the B words probably since the 80's.
Not sure. I used to bet on greyhound races a little many years ago, and the abbreviation for a female dog in the program used to be "b." for the b-word. (Male dogs were denoted as "d." Each dog has its age, color and parentage listed underneath its name.) But sometime in the '80s or '90s, the abbreviations were changed to "m." for male and "f." for female. Do dog breeders still use that word? No idea.
That's like certain boards used software to edit the shorten name for "Richard" (i.e., Thingy Van Dyke, "Dirty" Thingy Murdoch, Thingy Slater, Thingy Togo, etc.). Those boards did not care if it applied to someone's name.
