For some reason ABC thinks that Katie Couric is still worthy of having her own show and they are reportedly willing to pay her $20 million a year to do it. But the shocking news doesn’t stop there because some places are reporting her new unwatchable (I don’t have to see it to know it will be unwatchable) might lead to General Hospital, the last Soap Opera on ABC, to get cancelled. Soap Opera Digest says that there is hope that the lone daytime drama won’t get the axe if one of the two new shows that are replacing One Life to Live and All My Children fail then her daytime yawner will replace one of them in 2012. So I guess GH will be sticking around because I bet ABC $1 that both shows will fail big time. Not because the people who watch daytime are outraged over the cancellations but because both shows sound like sh!t.
Ad here’s my question to ABC, why are you offering Katie Couric $20 million? She failed miserably as a host of CBS Evening News, so much so they lost over half their viewers in the 5 years she was there. She is not as likeable as you think? She isn’t worth a 10th of what you are offering her and I was high balling my estimate on her worth.
Please ABC as a long time viewer of General Hospital please don’t cancel my show and especially not for a proven failure. Heck not even for one that has proven not to be a failure just yet.
