All My Children & One Life to Live - cancelled
- Thread starter justthenumbers
- Start date
And just what we really didn't need was not one but two talk shows to replace them. Not like that there wasn't any other channels that already carry them. :
May as well bid Days Of Our Lives and General Hospital farewell after this since more than likely they want another extra hour of Today and Good Morning America to fill it up.

OMG. Very sad. Never thought I'd see no more Agnes Nixon-created (or inspired) soaps, much less NO MORE soaps from NYC. Now 4 soaps left, and 5 long-running shows gone since 1999. This will leave a daytime void not felt since the earliest days of TV. Well, the Daytime Emmys probably have a lot of rearranging to do, with 2 tributes to pencil in....
So ABC will only have one soap which is their most popular one, General Hospital. ABC should maybe let CBS or NBC have General Hopsital then leaving ABC open to what they would like to program for those hours.

Not only that, GH is ABC's longest-running show, period (48 years and counting). It's certainly the end of an era, as easttxtv mentioned, they will be no more soaps taping in New York City, now that One Live to Life is going away.
I glanced at the press release that was included in the story link posted below, and the description of those replacements sound like they belong on ABC's Live Well Network.

Apparently, "All My Children" will be replaced by a show called "The Chew."
That's right. The home of "The View" will be now have a companion show called "The Chew."
But wait - why stop there? How about renaming the "Good Morning America" franchise to "The Brew"?

Yeah, those seem very weak. Well, atleast "The Nate Berkus Show" for example, people are familiar with him, and he does all of the light topics (lifestyle, fitness home decor etc.) and people might tune in for him, is even if it's boring television.
'Judge Judy' and 'People's Court' would seem like more compelling daytime television.
Heck, why not bring back Rosie O'Donnell and Star Jones, and Lisa Ling and make a "The View II". Or have Susan Lucci as as the lead co-host and any of the soon to be unemployed "All My Children" or "One Life to Live" cast. If Leah Remini is qualified to be the anchor person at "The Talk", pretty much any ex actor can make it work for a daytime panel.
Anyways, I see these shows are cheap filler (to get over the transition of the cancellations) until ABC decides what it really wants to do with those hours.
LOL the chew, yep this is good move abc daytime
If the writters of the show had tried to write what ever the fans wanted, maybe moved this show to podcast, make them 15 min like when soaps started.
My mom watches all my children and one life to live.
She said they have been getting worse from 1999 onwards.

Well, with Soapnet gone in 2012, this was bound to happen. If both "The Chew" and "Revolution" fail, chances are that ABC will give those two hours back to the affils, and I wouldn't be surprised as to how fast they will fill that timeslot.
Yeah, I wonder if affiliates might just pre-empt these replacements anyways.
Prior to The View, ABC Daytime used to have a show called "Home" later replaced with "Mike & Maty" later replaced by "Caryl and Marilyn". Many ABC affiliates didn't clear this hour. When The View launched, it was Barbara Walters who pushed for it to be cleared on stations.
Now, It's not like these replacements in the mid afternoon are valuable that ABC would care if stations didn't clear the hours.

I was just looking at WLS's website. Believe it or not, "The Chew"
is indeed the name of the show that's replacing "All My Children." Think
a mini-Food Network (an hour a day). "The Revolution" is the working
title for the show that's going to replace "One Life To Live." It's more
a lifestyle/fitness/makeover thing (as if "The Biggest Loser" isn't enough).
"The Chew" is scheduled to debut in September; "The Revolution," in
January.
I'm wondering if ABC will do a straight replacement of the two soaps and
air these new ones in the 1-3 (ET) slot, or move "GH" to 1 PM (ET) (which,
BTW, was its original slot back in '63), then go with the new shows from 2-4
(meaning "The Chew" possibly goes up against "The Talk").
As far as soaps in general go, I don't know that any of them has had a "don't
call me while my show's on" storyline in years. But to the person who said that
if "AMC" and "OLTL" had given the fans what they wanted, let me say, as a
"Guiding Light" fan for several years, that you're on-point. "GL" wrote out or
put on the back burner so many of my favorite characters that I gave up on it,
and while I haven't watched "AMC" or "OLTL" in years, I suspect something similar
happened to them.
At any rate, it's eventually going to come down to the two Bell shows as the last
remaining soaps, and as homerjay said, when "Y&R" goes, the soap era will have truly
ended.

Sad move for ABC to drop those soaps. When your show has below a 1 rating with women 18-49 (AMC), and OLTL is not much better, the writing is on the wall.

If ABC does that, then they risk killing the ratings of GH and then GH will be subject to the same fate.
Personally, I don't anticipate seeing those new replacements surviving long. People can get the same types of shows on cable. And if I were an ABC affiliate GM, I wouldn't even bother with those shows...I'd take those two hours and then put in syndicated programming.
As a somewhat long time fan of GH, I fear this means its days are numbered too. I hope that it is allowed to survive until its 50th anniversary (April 1, 2013). I figure the strategy to keep one soap alive at each network is in place, for now- and we will patiently wait to see who will be the first to pull the trigger and ditch the genre entirely (most likely, NBC will ditch Days of Our Lives first, as Comcast will want to cut costs and start migrating programming over to its cable networks).
Back in the early 2000s, I believe, ABC Daytime crossed over characters amongst the three dramas (Port Charles wasn't included because this was during their telenovela arches), but it would be interesting to see if ABC has any intention on moving any popular characters, storylines, actors, etc over to its last remaining show.
Did CBS do this upon cancellation of Guiding Light or As the World Turns?

Somehow I'm reminded of Bill Paley's decision in 1960 to pull the plug on the four remaining CBS radio soaps (which were also the last soaps on U.S. radio and one of which, "Ma Perkins," was an institution dating back to 1933), simply because the ad dollars just weren't there; television had taken them. He said to the end of his life that the last day the shows were broadcast--November 25, 1960--was one of the saddest days of his life. I'd like to see if Brian Frons feels that way when the two ABC shows air their last episodes, or if Barbara Bloom at CBS feels any sadness over "GL" and "ATWT" being gone.
I was curious to see if KSAT-12 the ABC affiliate in San Antonio would pick up Regis & Kelly since as of September 2010 it hasn't been on San Antonio TV anywhere but I'm wondering how Nate Berkus is doing over there in the 9:00 AM Central slot and if San Antonio might pre-empt one of the new ABC shows to run Regis & Kelly and possibly move Berkus to afternoons possibly in Oprah's old time slot (4:00 PM Central) when her show leaves for good in September.
