Y&R is good but it's success has to do with that in most markets it's on during the lunch hour, many lunch rooms have it on and I use to leave school to go home and watch it. Friday Night Lights contract just got extended two more seasons this week, that show was so close to cancellation before a writing campaign and Direct TV picked it up to show early before NBC aired it this season. All hope is not lost, I'm not giving up and will continue to write P&G, CBS and anyone who will listen.

Sadly, shortly before 2:00 I learned that it was true, CBS is not going to renew our Light. I have heard that PGP is saying it is not giving up on finding another network or way to keep the Light on. So please call and write PGP and voice your support. PGP did not pull the plug, Barbara Bloom and CBS did. So please, do not call for a boycott of PG Products at this time. Support PGP-Telenext and write everyone you can think of in support of picking up the show: NBC? WB, SoapNet..... That's just really messed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't given up hope either I think people can make a difference... sometimes it' that squeaky wheel you know!! I'm going to continue writing and calling hopefully they will see all of us who do watch, and understand we are still in it for all it's worth!!

I sent my letter to Barbara Bloom this morning. I hope she reads it. But I fear she won't. I hope everyone still writes. My letter campaign may work. People, please write. Well, I have this URL purchased through 2011. Elizabeth

As a loyal fan for 30 years...GL is the only thing I do for me! I have even gone to NYC for the past 4 years to be a part of the fan club weekend. I leave my kids w/ my hubby for the few days and enjoy all the events. I am too sad for words. I so hope another chanel will pick us up and keep our light shining.

Luckily, I have been taking care of my baby, so the timing was ok for me. However, I feel like I have lost one of my best friends today. I have watched GL since I was 5 years old. 32 years is a long time to be addicted to something that doesn't kill you . I'm just depressed today. My sister called me and we commiserated with each other for a few minutes. I'm still "blindly" hoping that it is just a silly april fool's joke to see how many fans write in and complain...to see how many people honestly watch. I just can't believe that on September 19, I won't be able to watch channel 3 at 2PM. I boycotted Bold and the Beautiful from the beginning because they cancelled Capitol, so I say don't watch whatever comes on in the time slot in your area.

I was so hoping that this was not true when I first heard it a few minutes ago......I came right here in search of someone saying that it was a prank.....a hoax.......an AF joke..... Remember.......they cancelled Dog the Bounty Hunter and all the fans made alotta noise and A & E finally came around and brought them back. Let's all do what we can to make noise- it could work! We have to at least try!!

They feel it is better to just let go instead of trying to revive it. Also, they TPTB didn't follow what the fan base has been saying for the past year to two years. The should have evaluated the writing staff and done a complete overhaul. The actors can only act out what was written, and the fans saw it but P&G didn't, or refused to. It just shows that they were not interested in what the fans had to say. The first thing I would have done years ago when I saw a steady decrease in the ratings is see what the fans are saying. I would have hired a team to just scan and read every GL board out there and have them give bi-weekly reports. Instead of trying to right a ship going in the wrong direction, they went full steam ahead in the wrong direction. By bringing back GA, they waited too long, and the writing was already on the wall. I am surprised that GA didn't see it coming. I don't think he would have came on if he knew the show was going to be canceled. All I can say, is the only benefit from this is that the writing staff won't have any jobs. Because what soap would hire them. They did such a lousy job with GL. Guy (Laughter IS the best medicine!)

I started watching the show again when Philip returned and it's been pretty good. Sigh.......it's hard to believe there will actually be no GL. I've been watching since high school and that was a whole lotta years ago! So, so sad....... I would think that enough people called in in the next few months that they would have some time to keep it going. Sadly, I doubt that anything will and that ATWT will be the next to go. SS--I just read on the Buzz Board that ATWT was renewed for one year (it's better than nothing). Thank goodness! I couldn't bear to lose them both.
