One Life To Live's awesome title card.

The world is moving away from the hour-long dramatic series known as soap operas.  Once a mainstay of daytime television, soaps are crashing out left and right, in spite of several million viewers per episode and legions of devoted fans.  Well, perhaps there may be a way to save the soaps.  ABC has recently canceled its soaps All My Children and One Life To Live in order to put on cheaper reality and game programming.  However, just because a show has been cancelled, that doesn’t mean it is dead.  Production company Prospect Park will be taking over production of All My Children and One Life To Live with the goal of moving them to the web as online series.

“I’m excited for their future with Prospect Park,” said Agnes Nixon, the incredible creative mind who created both All My Children and One Life To Live.  “We are a big family that keeps going, and I’m looking forward to working alongside these wonderful people as we ensure that the shows will continue with all the love and excitement we’ve always had.  I also am so happy for our loyal fans.”

For those not familiar, All My Children and One Life To Live are two of the longest-running series in television history.  All My Children started airing on January 5, 1970; One Life To Live began July 15, 1968.  Prospect Park is the company behind the incredibly popular USA series Royal Pains.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
