THat's the truth Mike. I never thought any of these shows would be gone because they all had over a half century of history. I used to buy the soap opera weekly and soap opera digest and if I knew something big was happening I'd check out AMC or GH or Days, but those 2 CBS shows were must see tv every day. But I guess it all goes in cycles either way.
A friend of mine worked on GL from 1990 to 2002 and he's biased and thinks those years are the best. Even during those years, there were several regime changes and basically every three years it was reinventing itself. The Guiding Light of 1990 is several versions removed from what it was at the end in 2009. A show shouldn't have to change so much just to keep up. Personally I think 1997 to 2002 under producer Paul Rauch was the last renaissance period. It goes downhill quickly from 2002 to 2005, then with Wheeler for those last few years it was nearly unwatchable. I'm not saying it should've stayed on the air because of history, I was just surprised it would tank like that to the point of being cancelled since it lasted for so many decades. |
