Much as I hate to do this, I'm going to have to agree with Rosebud on this one. What a slap in the face to fans! They were so horrid to us when the show was on. P&G are totally horrid. ABC sold their shows to someone who would try to do something with them. P&G refused to do that. WHY? So several years later they could have these DVDs released trying to make money off them? they are NOT doing this for fans; they absolutely HATE their fans! They make me sick! We suggested this type of thing a long time ago, and they wouldn't do it. They are aholes, plain and simple through and through. And I, like Rosebud, will NOT give them any of my hardearned money either. Though at one point I would have paid to be able to watch the show if they had done it that way.

This was suggested almost 15 yrs ago by fans.  P&G chose to ignore the potential revenue & audience it would play to.  It was also suggested that P&G release the show's past episodes on DVD (or video) to generate $$ for charity.  That was also dismissed.  P&G is coming to the table w/this 'offer' quite late.  Most of the audience has moved on.  Personally, it is salt in the wound, to look back on something that was once great & then how P&G manipulated it to being a shadow of its original concept.  While I may have bought it 15+ yrs ago, today I'm not so likely to give them a dime of my hard earned $$.

  • ITA and
  • None of that has anything to do with today.
  • Marcy111: P&G doesn't know about marketing?! What are you smoking? P&G knew exactly what they were doing when it came to marketing. They were involved w/marketing soap opera from the days of radio. They invented the genre for radio & marketed it for decades--including the foreign markets that opened up in the late 80's & early 90's. P&G owns their marketing & pr company. eom
