Production 'Value'

As much as I love the production side of television, I have to criticize it. My latest criticism is the canceling of the popular soap All My Children. No, I've never been crazy over the show (or any soaps for that matter) but I've watched it from time to time mainly because my mom has (and will always be) a die hard fan. In fact, she's watched it since middle school! That's pretty amazing! 

It's pretty sad to see such a staple in daytime television finally come to an end but, what makes me upset is seeing ABC make the bonehead move in replacing it with a show called The Chew. The show is a glorified food talk show that will give you tips and tricks on cooking food and the like. It sounds like Food Network ran out of time slots for its shows and bought one from ABC...seriously! Who would watch a show about food when you're probably eating lunch? It makes no sense at all!

I'm no TV expert or critic but I think The Chew will be a one and done show. Plus, they say this is what the viewers want but I don't buy it. When we have Food Network and so many other food programs on, it's no wonder we have such an obsession with food!
