Technology is going to be a problem for them and it’s going to be an issue in many spheres, including medical care (telemedicine is a thing now). There were a small number who were technologically challenged, according to the adult children who wrote for them. They never had to miss a show, they didn’t have to record anything and also liked the fact that they get a lot for their money because of the many other shows, movies, and channels available to them. They enjoyed the fact they could watch anytime they chose which they found to be a great convenience. It’s possible the writers I mention might well have other motivations, but I am speaking to the petulance I saw in what I read.Ī few already have Peacock and have been watching it for some time. Many have Comcast and Xfinity - they already have access to Peacock, yet they also wish to complain first and ask questions later. They don’t want change and they do want to complain. They are not poor and without the means to change to Peacock. I also noticed something else: probably more than half of those complaining already have cable. Get rid of opera touch full#And what does that have to do with Days?Įven with an absolutely barebones schedule, they can’t have ONE soap on, just for the tiniest variety in the middle of all the news and talk, affiliate time slots, infomercials, reruns, and smattering of game shows or syndicated programming? Not only did they do this simply because they want to monetize everything, but now there’s a huge hole in their schedule already full of nothing… there’s basically nothing to watch even for those still willing to tune in to the network.Īnyway, I also addressed some of your queries in my reply to missysmama…Īfter seeing your post about TVline, or whatever it is, I went to the article and read the comments. Yes, we get it, network television is dying and all that, but it’s not dead yet. Like I said, I love this show, but at the same time, Days is at times bottom of the barrel entertainment at best. Do you honestly think they should care about paying viewers at least still being able to enjoy Days? I do love this show, but those viewers have every right to wish for cancellation and slam these executives all over comment boards, especially to spite this horrible network. I am sorry if I sound callous, but as far as I can see, if half the audience can no longer watch, why should the other half ? So if these people are now cursing NBC, and in anger have begun rooting for the soap to just flop altogether now that it’s been pulled off the air, then I say all the power to 'em. And, no, I don’t count the news, as that’s not a show, and there’s tons of news… that kind of programming is what’s on before they’re actually ready to sit down and watch a real program. There’s not even a show to replace Days with either. I stand with the seniors, the longtime viewers, the unemployed, the homebound, the poor and lowest classes, for whom a simple show gave them some structure and solace during the day. I sympathize and empathize with their stories, and get a good chortle from the way they rail against the network and slam the people responsible for letting Days slip to what was close to just a 1.0 weekly average rating in households before the axe finally fell. I truly feel for the people who are going through withdrawals as former broadcast viewers. It is something that ABC has learned the hard way when they ditched their soaps, then manufactured a woke media crisis to get rid of Roseanne Barr. And no, there anger will not fade in three years, which is when suddenly NBC and Peacock might realize the extent to which they have alienated their former audience. Some of them will NEVER watch this network again. NBC has no idea how much of a grudge these people will hold. The problem is that loads of people were left behind.Įven if I also took no issue with the lies, greed, insults and spin that we’ve been subjected to, and thought this was all the greatest thing since sliced bread, the fact remains that from what I am reading here, some people are completely out of touch with how extremely upset most of the broadcast audience is about being dumped. The problem is that we can’t see the ratings any longer. After all, we’re at a midpoint between many/most shows suddenly making the switch. It’s not the streaming that I have a problem with. I mistakenly thought your post was a reply to mine (though, as written, it could have been).
