That was more of a rag on Tyra's show than anything, but I think the reruns are done as well...

They could always just re-air the episodes with Sylvia Brown.  God knows Montel did enough of those, and it's not as though the predictions have gotten any less accurate over time, seeing as they had none to begin with....

So the show will run for about two weeks then?

They're now airing on a BET spinoff channel, Centric.

Not saying it's good; not saying it's bad...just seeing the possibility of it happening.

As it happens, "yakker" would also accurately describe me in front of my kitchen sink if this ever came to pass.

Didn't think this was worth starting a new topic when the article seems a bit more opinion-driven than facts driven, but it's definitely relative and it has at least some logic to its conclusions...

May the vultures begin their lurk... yet again. Thoughts, opinions, questions, comments, correlations proposed between CBS's daytime schedule shakeup and future potential ABC changes? Up or down on how long before some half-random GS replacement is thrown out to take its spot?

Actually, it may be more fact-driven than you might think.  There have been rumors the last 2-3 years that ABC would cancel either AMC or OLTL due to declining ratings.  AMC's move to Los Angeles seemed to confirm that the Alphabet had more confidence in that show than OLTL.

ABC filmed a pilot a few months ago for an Aisha Tyler talk show.  At the time, the Alphabet said it could be for syndication, network daytime, nighttime, etc.  If that show is still on ABC's radar, I could see that as the favorite to take OLTL's slot if it's canceled.

There's an article at MSNBC.com that's mostly about the changes that may happen to network TV, but it this portion is particularly relevant:

Entire dayparts are disappearing or radically evolving. We've already seen the networks get out of the kids' business. Daytime could be next, with two long-running soaps toast and more casualties highly likely soon.

Could be next? Game shows are an extinct species in daytime. The exodus began about 20 years ago.
