Hoover pulls advertising over SOAPS

Finally!!! Make a bad decision and there are repercussions.

I admit it, I DVR OLTL and GH everyday. I used to watch AMC, but I just couldn't stomach it for the past 8-10 years.

Another food show is not change; Rachel Ray is on at 3 and there is a whole network dedicated to such topics. I must admit the other show being pitched does not interest me at all either.

I havent watched soaps since i was in high school, GH was on at 3! I cant see the point in adding more cooking shows or talk shows? Dont we have enough already?

That's nuts! How many shows go 40-50 years without repeats except on holidays? There will be a real hole in the afternoon for many people. Cooking shows? Blech!

I just can not justify taking out soap operas totally even there is a SOAP opera network on satellites. I used to remember them going from 11 to 3 and after that, the games. I personally do not like soap operas, it is enough drama there as it is but people in older generations love it.

We got enough cooking shows! How about games or family shows? Something worthwhile to entertain the brain, make it work hard to figure out the puzzle or find a word. Jeopardy, Match Games, Family Feud, Hollywood Squares, they are all good with a bit of comedy in it. I used to love to run home and watch those shows after school, along with the old time Three Stooges and Little Rascals and the endearing Huxtable family on Cosby show.

Soaps have gotten a bad rap I think; those are intense for an actor, memorizing pages upon pages every day, creating a character that last for many years, etc. It's no more fluff than 99% of prime time, less so than most newer programs. The prime time programming makes me shudder.

TV in general is pretty trashy these days. Can barely find a good program to watch anymore.

Yes, not any good shows on anymore. I'd prefer to watch Discovery or Animal channels, National Geo most of the time. Missed those good ol' days!
