[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 161037, member: 719"] [LEFT] The viewers who watched soaps did not turn to sitcoms. The viewers who turn to whatever is popular turned to sitcoms as they were gaining in popularity. The core audience, a smaller one, could have stayed were the shows not on a suicide course. 7 years is a great limit in hindsight, but back then there was no way a US network would impose such a limit on a cash cow like Dallas. But despite the later years of Lorimar Dallas being lousy, I agree the reboot needed someone other than Warner in charge. They have too many properties in their hand and just handed it off to Cidre for god-knows-what-reason, whereas Lorimar during the early years was very much focused on its soaps. [/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
