Fuck CBS!!! They destroy a piece of television history !

[wheels1927]

How awful that a show that has made broadcast history is being replaced by a cheesy game show! If GL had a bigger budget like Y&R and a better time slot, this would not be happening. I will NEVER watch Let's Make a Deal.

@Gazzara5 Ok sorry yeah shut up was kinda mean, and there are tons of theory's and reasonings as too why soaps ratings are slipping. Some reasonings are that more women are working instead of at home which I find is the stupidest reasoning as too slipping ratings. But either way soaps are classic and they just shouldn't be cancelled no matter what is how I feel. And if they must go replace it with something with class instead of something cheap and meaningless.

@irmhsva If that's true why are their ratings shrinking and why are they being cancelled in increasing numbers? And don't tell me to shut up. I'll say whatever I want.

@Gazzara5 Shut up! Soaps are generational their timeless, and to see the oldest Soap cancelled for a cheap unnecessary talk show is messed up! And to have the 2nd oldest soap cancelled the year later for a stupid talk show is just wrong! What is this world coming to? Not everybody wants to watch talk shows and reality shows. Soaps were a great escape from reality, so why would I want to watch reality? I live reality everyday!

[Gazzara5]

Daytime soaps with their neverending story lines are gradually becoming a thing of the past. Eventually, they'll all be gone, even OLTL, DOOL, and Y&R. I have but one thing to say. Thank God!

never should have ended guiding light!!

very disappointed in CBS

[Intocable8306]

CBS should have just combined GL and ATWT cast and took over full production of the new show they could of created. Imagine having Reva moving to Oakdale and stealing Tom from Margo. LOL

Wasn't the last episode at St.Bernards Episcopal Church?

i miss this show

I watched Guiding Light for 28 years. from 1981 till 2009. I loved watching it. I laughed at goofy and wonderful Nola and her fantasys, I cried when Maureen died, I fumed when They got rid of Michael Zaslow when he developed ALS. These people were like friends to me. I invited them into my living room every weekday afternoon at 3PM. I dream of the show, I wonder how the cast members that didn't get another soap are living without a job. I will always miss my Guiding Light!
