[QUOTE="WarriorsFan, post: 299736, member: 36930"] As long as daytime dramas stay within their budgets and generate money for the networks, they will remain on the air. I don't see the networks developing any replacement programming for when the daytime dramas come to an end. Re the decline of daytime dramas, I'd say it goes back further than OJ. I think the Iran-Contra hearings in July 1987 was the first big dent in the audience, then the second big dent was the 1988 writer's strike which lead to alot of shows losing their audience as the storylines went off track.
