The latest rumors about Sci-Fi cancelling DS may be yet another false alarm. but who cares?
Sci-Fi has not promoted it in years and has buried it at 8AM. West Coast subscribers to Dish Network like me get it at 5AM! And they don't even show it half the time!
Soapnet respects it's shows, and it's viewers. Currently in 20 million homes and growing fast(Soapnet debuted in 7 million homes less than three years ago)Soapnet is the perfect place for Dark Shadows.
Currently Soapnet airs reruns of Ryan's Hope and Another World. Both shows are promoted heavily. The network has done cast reunion specials and has had cast members of both shows on the chatfest Soap Talk, which also did a DS episode last year.
When Port Charles was cancelled, many ABC stations dropped it before it ended or moved it to 2AM. Soapnet showed PC twice a day till the last day, and followed the show's demise with a 24 hour best of marathon hosted by the PC cast.
Soapnet does not diss it's shows or it's audience. Let's get Soapnet to pick up Dark Shadows, where it will be nurtured, not buried.
Log onto Soapnet.com today and ask for Dark Shadows. Ask for Port Charles reruns too, these two vampire soaps would make a GREAT double bill!
