Is The Sand Running Out of The Hour Glass For 'Days Of Our Lives?' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Do you think that PERHAPS, DOOL are on its last legs? We all know that soap operas unfortunately are a dying genre. NBC is unstable as it is. That to me doesn't make a good mix. I hope I am wrong & granted I don't know the ratings, it is just a feeling I get.

I know that NBC has renewed Days through 2011, but beyond that, who knows? Hopefully, it will be renewed once again.

Wouldn't surprise me - after all, it IS the only remaining soap on NBC, and we all know that the soaps (saldy) are a dying breed.

Soaps are sadly in decline. Also its a lot cheaper for networks to make stuff like reality shows than soaps (even though soap are 9,000 times better than the best reality show). Where do you think the networks are going to invest in??

It's always about QUANTITY, not QUALITY. Then the idiots in charge wonder why ratings are in the toilet.
