Last year, ABC executives decided the daytime soap opera was dead and pulled the plug on long time favorites All My Children and One Life to Live after decades on the air. I believe the days of the night time talk show are over as viewers are weary of hearing the wealthy elitists sit around and discuss their inane lives while real Americans are struggling. Working folks are exhausted from the stresses of their jobs and the unemployed truly have no stomach for watching the arrogance of these people laughing about their movie filming stories or extravagant parties. Kids don’t want to watch the old farts drooling all over themselves either. If they want to save some money they should cancel the shows altogether and air something that people would rather watch like fifties tv show reruns.
Carson was excellent.I often stayed up to watch him.Letterman used to be OK but I seldom saw him because his show was on so late.Today,I wouldn't give Letterman *or* Leno the right time of day.In fact,apart from the NFL I can swear that I *never* watch the networks today.
Never!
