In reply to: Ravenbeauty 's message, "Red Hot Spoilers, Rumors, News & More! Updated 5/22/11!" on 22:46:57 05/22/11 Sun

Personally, it serves no purpose for me to have spoilers when these shows are cancelled. I thought as viewers we were working together to boycott Disney and try to force their hand. This is precisely why large conglomerates continue to discount the consumers because we simply are fickle and run out of gas faster than a SUV vehicle. I will continue with my what I started because I believe the cancelling of these shows changes Television History and not for the better....After all, scripted Reality tv is nothing more than Vintage Soap Operas.

Those boycotting ABC are STILL tuning in for the soaps. Boycotting the soaps themselves was never on the table as that's the most counterproductive action someone wanting to save them can take.

Speak for yourself. There are a lot of soap fans out here who really don't like the way the SOS people have conducted their campaign. You do what you think is best and I'll do the same.

Just like I said, We have forgotten.. I have not forgotten that in a few short months we will no longer have the shows that we have grown to love and watch available to us any longer...I have no interest in knowing spoilers for these shows or casting changes as shortly there will be a permanent cast change for everyone involved..I will continue to do what I have been doing and that is to not support DISNEY...just like the VP at Disney said" The viewers need to find a better use of our time instead of watching TV. I am a firm believer in hitting the BIG WIGS in their pockets...DISNEY is the culprit not the show...

To each his own, but for others - spoilers/scoops have been part of their viewing experience for a long time and aren't going to abondon them just because the shows are slated to end.

You seem to be drawing a correlation between following spoilers and giving up the fight to save the soaps. Those are two different things that don't have any kind of direct relationship to the others. I myself am working just as hard as i did the week of the announcement and as i was before the shows were only rumored to be on the chopping block and i know i'm not alone in that.

You are absolutely correct. People have lost their steam behind this matter quite conveniently. You understand that once the shows are taken off the air the viewers will be angry again but at that time, it will be too late. I review movies for a reputable blog and I can tell you that the theaters are packed with movie goers. I took quite an interest after all of the hoopla surrounding the cancelling and began to interview roughly 600 people over these last couple of months and these people do not even know that DISNEY owns these shows. I can say that after speaking to about 40% of them, they will not support anymore Disney movies this summer in support of. Great gesture but who knows. The women in my family has supported these shows and I am a sucker for a cause. Oh and thanks for the information about the BOARD members from Disney. I sent several emails and made a few calls inviting them to comment on the Blog and they respectfully DECLINED. keep up the good work.
