>>How many chances does a show get?

>LMAO. Be nice! :)

I'm always nice! :)

If some of these soaps aren't canceled and new ones
aren't launched, the genre is HISTORY!

No one seems to want to take a risk, so they stick with
the trash they got, and year after year, the audiences get lower and lower, pretty soon, no one will be watching!

I do believe an aspect of the telenovela format that should be embraced in the USA, is the FINAL EPISODE! How many friggin times are some of these soaps going to reinvent themselves? Waiting for a show to hit rock bottom is suicidal, not for that show, but for the genre as a whole. Do you honestly believe some of these soaps can ever make a comeback? Be honest! If you are, the answer has to be no! Certainly not under these current circumstances.

My favorite soap cancelation of all time was TEXAS, because NBC replaced it with SANTA BARBARA! Soap cancelations allow for new shows to have a chance, if that doesn't happen, it is all over!
