On Thursday, April 14, 2011, ABC/Disney Television unleashed a nationwide firestorm in concurrently announcing that it was cancelling two of Daytime television’s longstanding prized soap operas created by the legendary writer, Agnes Nixon, “One Life to Live” and “All My Children.” Nationwide, fans immediately began protesting against these cancellations and emphatically made it clear that they did not want, and would not support by watching, the ABC/Disney network’s two proposed replacement reality television shows that focused on food and lifestyle/weight reduction, named “The Revolution” and “The Chew.” ABC/Disney’s decision in cancelling these two soap opera thus became a catalyst in spawning a nationwide “Save Our Soaps” movement as hundreds of thousands of fans began flocking to the social media, creating hundreds of Facebook pages, online communities nationwide, actively protesting these decisions by ABC/Disney, with the responsible senior executives of...

When I first read the title, American Business and Daytime Dramas, I immediately questioned how are these two unrelated subjects tied together? Then, I started to read Dr. Donald Boudreau’s phenomenal well researched and documented story. This fascinating scholar and seasoned government expert is a visionary, who significantly researched how major daytime dramas are impacted by businesses and advertisers! This book is a good read and will appeal to the business community, mainstream America, soap opera fans, and persons interested in ageism, sexism, and anti-Baby Boomer generation trends in contemporary American media, and identifies what citizens can do with a view to reversing it, before it advances yet further.
Boudreau brilliantly displays how ageism is directly responsible for the inappropriate way the media is disregarding, as well as disrespecting, the largest group of senior citizens that have ever resided in the US. They are foolishly ignoring us-the baby boomers. According to the AARP-we are all now senior citizens. However, unfortunately many of us had no idea why the major studios were not paying attention to us. Hopefully, the masses will get the message, about what Dr. Boudreau has clearly established in his book: Ageism is alive and well throughout the American media.
Even though I am not a major fan of the soaps-I know many people who are, and therefore have entered into the grassroots organizations that are trying to bring back their favorite soaps. I pray the good guys win…As a relatively new senior citizen (baby boomer) I am extremely offended by the costs of ageism throughout the US media. I hail Dr. Boudreau for having such insight to expose the under pinnings of what really happened with American business as it relates to daytime dramas.
Ageism is something you won’t recognize, until you become a senior citizen- or have read this brilliant book, American Business and Daytime Dramas!
Best to the movement for bringing back the soaps and simultaneously respecting the opinions of valuable senior citizens. BRAVO!

Dr. Boudreau has done an amazing job in organizing, presenting and analyzing the complexities at play. A great read for everybody, not just those hooked on soaps for the past 40+ years.

Review by: Robert McDowall on July 01, 2012 :
Think Soap Operas are not an interesting form of entertainment? Oh, you are mistaken-- They have been a form of popular entertainment since the 1930's on the radio and then on television for many millions of people. Moreover, the programs of today are highly relevent to current life in our society. They deal with all the aspects of our lives -- like marriage & divorce, rich and poor, health and disease, crime and punishment, happiness and unhappiness. What's more, the cast members are highly professional actors and actressesnwho will amaze you with their acting abilities and true believability in the characters they portray. The story lines of these programs are interesting -- clever, realistic and exciting-- and will keep you truly interested from week to week. You will come to know all the characters, their names, their personalities, their relationships with each other (much the way we know our familiy and friends). You will love many of these characters-- and desperately want to smack a few!
