All My Children - being cancelled....

I have not watched All My Children in years. I suppose it has it's long time run. However, it seems that the TV stations are more geared towards Talk Shows, Court shows, and News. I did a recent survey about Soap Operas and I have had a feeling All My Children was getting the Axe. They asked a lot questions about several Soaps but All My Children seems to be the focus. I am sure the faithful fans will miss it.

it is literally ridiculous and awful that they are cancelling these soap operas. We do not need any more talk shows there is plenty. I am sick over it. Keep the soaps on I am not at all happy about this. I wonder if enough people would complain that they would reconsider or it is set in stone. Just really bad.

When I found out All My Children and One Life to Live were both being canceled, I was sad. Not because I had an big attachment to them at the moment. They were never "much watch" soaps for me (although lately I would watch them a couple times a week). But I would tune in every once in a while I certainly enjoyed many storylines. But because this is such an old tradition, one that kind of makes you feel like you're home. It sounds weird, but when you turn on a soap opera you like, it's almost like catching up with an old friend. And to cancel TWO of them. General Hospital better watch out. Seriously, The Young and the Restless (never wacth it) to me is the only safe soap. It does so well overseas that CBS still makes a lot of money on it. So I hope that AMC and OLTL fans will give General Hospital or Days of Our Lives a chance. And I read about the shows that will replace the soap operas. I predict one gets canceled after it's first season, and that the other last three years tops. I was hearing about the comments stars that used to be on soaps had to say. Every single one was sad about it. Nathan Fillion especially. And I admire that he took that job seriously. Soaps aren't easy acting. And it annoys me that some big stars belittle them. James Franco (on GH these past few years) and Julianne Moore (reprised her role on ATWT in its last show last year) being the exception. I expect to see some of these now out of work actors on the existing soaps. I don't know that I see anyone getting Susan Lucci though. But she sure had a long run. Along with Erica Slezak who played Viki on OLTL 40 years.

I heard on PTI, a sports based show! The first person I thought of was you. I'm so sorry.I think the new stay at home people prefer the type of drama you get to see on Maury and Steve Wilkos. I stopped watching soaps in English and started watching Mexican soaps Why? The storylines. with the U.S. soaps they repeat and repeat the same storylines or they take a good storyline and it takes forever to solve it. With the Mexican soap, they don't repeat and they last about 6 months!They have a beginning , middle and end! But with that said , i thought there would Always be the soaps on ABC! The end of a era!

I saw. Stupid ABC... Move everybody out to LA, and then cancel the show. Typical show business BS.

I am an All My children fan. My mother and my grandmother were fans of the long running soap as well. I am sure there are many discouraged All My children fans like me that will miss this show. I don't what they will replace it with, but i don't think it will compare to the years of enjoyment spent with All My children.

This is such disappointing news. I have grown up with All My Children. My mother watched it for as long as I can remember. I have taped and then DVRd AMC my whole adult life. When I was in college I wouldn't take classes that were scheduled at Noon! I guess I can do housework during the time I would watch AMC and snack. Nah, maybe I will just take a nap after work. Who kidnapped Erica?! I can't believe that they actually did something that surprised me.

Wow I wonder if my mother knows this. I will have to tell her. She has been watching general hospital and all my children since I was a little girl. It seems like the shows that have been on that long will just continue to go on forever its hard to imagine one ending. I used to watch Passions for a few years and I was pretty obsessed with it. They took it off regular tv and put it on direct tv I think it was but it didnt last on their either and the show was done for good :(

I heard about this today and was in shock. I have been watching this show since I was in high school. I'm now 54 years old and can't believe its leaving. Even though I worked for 32 years I would still keep up with what was going on. Now that I'm able to watch the show its going off the air. I will definitely not watch any daytime TV on ABC. I will be boycotting ABC because of them doing this after so many years. I can't believe the time, trouble and money that they put into moving to California last year and then now to decide to cancel the show. I feel so bad for all the actors and actresses who will be out of a job. I know my daughter and my sister will also be boycotting ABC. I read alot blogs today who most said will be boycotting ABC too. ABC is in for a rude awakening especially on top of this that Oprah is leaving too! ABC will be in the bottom when it comes their ratings.

I'm actually surprised that ANY soap opera is even still on the air. I find them almost as stupid as all these so called reality TV shows they have coming out just about every second. Don't get me wrong I used to be a fan of soap operas myself once upon a time, but after a while the same old boring story lines just get, well boring not to mention down right rediculious. So I'm not at all upset that AMC is going off the air. Now if they could only do something about these rediculious reality shows my world would almost be perfect once again :o)

No Show should last forever as it had a super long Run. Things must Change and Move onto Bigger and Better Things. A Fond Farewell to All My Children
