‘All My Children’ and ‘One Life to Live’ Got Cancelled
If like me you like to sit and home and watch shitty daytime TV then you will probably have watched ‘All My Children’ and ‘One Life to Live’ at some point in your life, if you haven’t then you better do it soon because ABC has announced they are both cancelled.
Both shows are two of the longest running television shows ever but as we all know everything comes to an end eventually and now it is time for the plug to be pulled on both of these soaps. All My Children will aborted in September after spending 41 years on air while One Life to Live will live it’s last life in January 2010 after 43 years on air.
They will be replaced by two completely different type of shows, The Cew which is a food-themed talked show and then The Revolution which is a makeover type of show. ABC released a statement saying:
“While we are excited about our new shows and the shift in our business, I can’t help but recognize how bittersweet the change is. We are taking this bold step to expand our business because viewers are looking for different types of programming these days. They are telling us there is room for informative, authentic and fun shows that are relatable, offer a wide variety of opinions and focus on ‘real life’ takeaways. All My Children and One Life to Live are iconic pieces of television that have made an indelible mark on our culture’s history. Each of the shows has touched millions and millions of viewers and informed the social consciousness. It has been a privilege to work with the extraordinary teams who brought the residents of Pine Valley and Llanview to life each day, and we thank the cast, crew, producers and most especially the fans for their commitment to the shows through their history.”
This means that there will only be four soaps left on air – ‘General Hospital’ on ABC, ‘Days of Our Lives’ on NBC and there is ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ and ‘The Young & The Restless’ both on CBS. Do you think this is a good move or a bad move for television?
