Thumbs down to SOD
They complain about the lack of a Guiding Light tribute during the Emmys, then don't give GL a SOD cover for their last week on the air. Talk about hypocritical! They didn't give Passions a cover either from what this Diva remembers.
Well sure Passions should have gotten that but come on. Guiding Light has been around for 72 years. The longest scripted show on tv ever. So I would think that should at least garner it a cover story!
ReplyDeleteWasn't that why there are SID ABC and CBS because the shows and networks were frustrated by SOD and SOW both pandering only to DAYS and GH? They did not feel the other soaps and soap actors were given equal treatment?
ReplyDeleteEven the regular media are mentioning GL, SOD should have had a special issue just for GL, 70 plus years, the longest scripted show, probably the longest running show period (if you include its run on radio) its demise is major news. But we have to have an issue with that stupid Baby Switch, as if DAYS' version was Must See TV, and was original.
Why didn't TVGuide put it on their cover?
ReplyDeleteGL was a television institution.
