Very sad about this week being the last week of All My Children. I've watched this show for ... no kidding ... 41 years, Pine Valley is my (third) home. All because ABC wants to put, yet another, cooking show on the air ... really? One Life to Live is on its way out too; GH won't be too far behind. Well then, what time is the Young and the Restless on?(CBS). Soaps have taken a hit in this high-entertainment world but they still have a place for a lot of us. I'm in mourning.
Yes, maybe it will be online ... but it's hard to say how that will work, at this point, or how well the audience can stay with it. I really hope it works ... it would be start of a new way to entertain. Cheers to Prospect Park, the production company that bought the rights to All My Children and One Life to Live.
Congressional respresentatives ... our elected officials ... are going back and forth as to whether the nation needs extended unemployment benefits to help individuals through this longterm economic crisis. According to the Washington Post, some congressional leaders think people who receive jobless benefits ... half of what they were making before losing their jobs ... means these folks won't even look for jobs, period.

Everybody is "studying" unemployment ... why the numbers are so high, how it affects the would-be worker, if said-worker is actually looking for work, whether work exists in a field that said-worker can actually perform, and so on and so on. Never mind if age discrimination plays a part in any of this but ... here's the bottom line.
You can quote all the "statistics" you want. People are out of work. When people are out of work, they cannot feed themselves, [...]

Only a couple more weeks of All My Children on ABC. The network recently announced the longtime soap's demise; final airdate is September 23, 2011. One Life To Live, also a longtime soap on ABC, is set to go off the air in January of 2012. Word has it that an Internet company has bought the rights and properties of both soaps and will air them online. I hope it happens but I'll believe it when I see it. The thing is, even if the shows do make their homes in cyberspace, many of the cast and crew have made plans to move on.
A little history ...
Beginning at 9-years-old, I've watched All My Children since its inception in 1970 and One Life to Live shortly after that.
Boss of ABC Daytime, Brian Frons, set out to destroy Daytime TV years ago. He's never been a Soap fan and was a major player in creating bad storylines, poor writing and production, replacing seasoned actors with no-talent-model-actor-wannabees and pushing Agnes [...]

Something to remember on this Labor Day weekend (a holiday to celebrate the working man/woman) ... Many people are out of work. If you're not one of them, enjoy your holiday and be grateful! Show some compassion to those who are down on their luck.

Not always easy.
