Spike might need a drink
« on: May 28, 2010, 04:50:51 PM »
"Reason to panic, daytime drama fans? Disney ABC/Television Group announced today that it will pop the bubble on SOAPnet in January 2012 to make way for Disney Junior, a new 24-hour cable/satellite channel devoted to preschool children. In making the announcement, Disney Media Networks Co-Chair Anne Sweeney said the decision to shutter the cable channel was “not arrived at lightly,” but that new viewing patterns have all but deemed the network obsolete. "

(somebody cue the audio of Spike's 'diabolical laugh')

Poor Spike. And he doesn't even drink alcohol.

Quite the slap in the face. Not only are the soaps getting the boot, it's in favor of children's programming

I think Spike would appreciate the drama and tension in "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody", if he could just give it a chance.

It was a happy day in my house when my daughter decided she didn't want to watch the Disney Channel anymore.

However as I type this 'iCarly' is on the TV.
