GL Jonesy |
CBS sticks the knife in a little further... |
Lead | |

I have been wasting time for months playing solitaire on cbs.com using GL as my background. Well today, I had to reboot my computer and GL wouldn't come
up. So I went to cbs.com and under the daytime shows, Guiding Light was completely missing from the line up. So now I can't even see my beloved GL
characters while I play solitaire! CBS is completely useless to me now. I know this is kind of a silly complaint when the world is such a mess but CBS has
really screwed the fans of GL! I have been hearing for years that cable is killing network tv and at this point I say Viva Cable!

"Viva cable" is right! There are only 3 shows I watch on "network" tv---the rest are on cable. laura

I like several shows on network tv and don't want to pay to watch anything, so I don't have satellite tv. But I do get your frustration with them
taking GL off the web site. I haven't been to CBS's daytime web site since GL went off the air myself, but I would have hoped they would have moved it
to a "classics" part of the page or something.

GL web site is still at CBS Daytime - however CBS now has made it harder to get on site, or watch a
GL video or get into the message board - they also took away GL games - about the only way we can get on GL message board now is through our emails and I have
a pretty good idea CBS did this to get rid of GL fans and postings that we still support GL.

Hardly anyone posts there anymore anyway. If you lose your bookmark, you can always access it by visiting one of the other message boards, going to one of the
sections and at the bottom of the page, you'll see it says, "Go to forum" with a drop down menu. You'll find all the boards listed there.

Its not cable that is killing network TV. It is the networks themselves that are failing. There hasn't been a new or fresh program idea on TV with the
exception of Dancing With the Stars and a few other programs. They keep rehashing the same old and copying programs from each other and they've been doing
that for years. I'm of the age that I easily remember being so excited to read about the new season's coming new TV shows for Fall. Now the so-called
comedies are all the same. The are based in the office, at home, in a bar, etc. The writing is horrible and nearly every "joke" or situation is
based somehow on sex. Where are the family shows, the variety shows, the real family sitcoms that parents aren't afraid to let their kids watch with them?
Where are the writers and programmers with insight, really funny lines, new ideas? I could keep going, but anyone over 40 remembers how good TV used to be.
The writers aren't funny when they are supposed to be, not clever with drama plots. Nothing in their writing is new...no imagination. The bottom line is
the only thing that matters to the networks and its getting that way with cable, too. Anyway, if the networks bigshots were honest with themselves and with
us, they would realize what is wrong with network TV. Its not the actors--its the writers and the people who make the decisions. It takes money to make
money. They've forgotten or they just didn't learn anything in college. Maybe they should forget that they learned in college and take lessons from
the pros from the past that made, wrote and starred on TV. Just do what worked.
