Is Your ABC Soap Making You Sick?
Are you sick of having your favorite fired, dropped to recurring, told they're too old, backburnered and ignored?
Sick of rewrites, recasts and revisions that leave your character so out of character you don't recognize them anymore?
Maybe you're sick of seeing your favorite couple apart all the time. Sick of no romance, family, history, love or passion in your afternoon.
Or maybe you're just sick of tuning in only to feel - at the end of the hour - let down, disappointed, and frustrated that no one at ABC seems to be listening to what YOU want to see.
Then join with us this May Sweeps for "I'm Sick of My Soap!" Day on May 1, 2009 and boycott all ABC soaps (both on ABC and SoapNet) for one day during May Sweeps.
NO WATCHING + NO TAPING + NO DVRing = NO RATINGS and NO VIEWERS.
Show ABC Daytime the power of the viewer by turning off the soaps and hitting ABC where they'll feel it the most: in their wallets!
Support ALL your fellow ABC Daytime Viewers by boycotting ABC Daytime May 1, 2009, including that evening's SoapNet airings. Then, during your favorite ABC Soap(s) call the comment line and tell them why you're choosing to tune out:
All My Children: (212) 460-7477 (then Press 2 at the first prompt, 4 at the second. Press 255 for All My Children)
One Life to Life: (212) 456-3338
General Hospital: (323) 671-4583
and leave ABC feedback via their website at: http://abc.go.com/site/contactus.html
Show ABC that WE can do without them but they CAN NOT survive without US.
Demand the change you want to see and the reform you deserve!
***Make May 1, 2009 "I'm Sick of My Soap!" Tune Out Day by passing this post on to ALL the ABC Soap (AMC, OLTL and GH) boards you know, passing the word to all the viewers online and off that you know, and rallying with your fellow soap fans for the change we ALL deserve!***
i've never know of a boycott that has ever fixed anything....and this won't happen this time either....besides how are the PTB even going to know that the show was boycotted? Are we going to call them and tell them?
I was just thinking the other day how good OLTL has been lately. I can't give them up.
OLTL has been good. I could do without the Starr and her teacher thing but otherwise I have been loving it. I love all the actors and the story lines. I don't think boycotts work and that they may make you feel better but in the end they are just not worth it.
If boycotting worked, then we would be left with info-commericials. I feel like if the story doesn't work for a person then channel surf during that bit, then come back.I agree Starr is getting on my nerves also. I hope it doesn't last much longer. I loved Scott Clifton on GH, I hope OLTL makes good use of him.
In theory, the boycott -it sounds great. But..eh...won't work. ( say it with a yiddsih flair)
No boycott for me babe. If nothing else, I'll be watching just to see what they're wearing and checking out the handbags.

Sorry just not that unhappy. Stories change all the time I just wait them out. I don't think a boycott is necessary. Plus, I like my soaps but I can live without them too.
