Passions Canceled!

Fans of cheesy special effects and lusty mermaids took a mighty blow today as NBC decided to ax its long-running, oft-derided, and secretly loved soap opera, Passions. This means we'll no longer have our guaranteed T&A at the 2 PM hour, nor will we have the best consistent source for wonderful Clipgasms. It's all over. For more information, click here. No word on when the final episode will be, but we'll be sure to keep you updated. Until then, feel free to share your fondest memories here in the comments.

NBC is fucking retarded. Another World shouldn't have been cancelled for Sunset Beach; Sunset Beach shouldn't have been cancelled for Passions; and, Passions shouldn't have been cancelled. A lone tear has rolled down my eye.

Zombie Charity will forever be one of my favorite storylines on any show. It made me like Molly Stanton so much I even watched Twins... now that's love.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

I think its lame that NBC has to cancel Passions just so that the Today Show can have a 4th hour! Seriously, is a 4 hour morning program really necessary?

The only way this situation can be redeemed is if sci-fi starts airing Passions from the beginning again.

This is the worst news I've had in ages. I have watched this show since the very first episode! I recently moved to London and haven't been able to see it in months - now I'll miss its final months! Worst news ever..

I love the Today Show but it does NOT need a 4th hour! Fingers crossed PP is right and sci fi picks it up!

So - wait. NBC is now down to only one soap?

Can't they bring back "Another World" or "Santa Barbara"?????

This is the worst news ever. Now Theresa will never get Ethan. This show was such a hoot, and no matter how long since you watched you could catch right up...I'm sad.

Its about time this trainwreck got canceled!

I'm gonna miss it though! There is no other show that turns me red with embarassment when I'm caught watching it.

Some memories. and things I will miss...
- The 4 or 5 years of monologue by Alister Crane's hands.

-How Sam often nonchalantly mentions the Bennet house getting swallowed into the underworld

-Tabitha the 300 year old witch has sex with Julian dressed as jungle people and ends up pregnant!

-...Alister disguises himself as a lesbian woman and schemes with Beth to kill Sheridan, all along hitting on Beth... who turns out to be his daughter!?!

-Old lady Wallace pisses on Julian's car

-Sheridan's out of body experience where she is about to die and is coaxed back to life by her close friend Princess Diana (wtf.)

nooooooooo!!! I just started watching passions back in the fall and recently got my mom into it too. Figures. That news totally killed my day!

monkeypeanut [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Too bad. But on the bright side, maybe NBC can start spending more on Days!

Ubiquitous [TypeKey Profile Page]:

C'est dommage! What a cheesy shlocky fun show!

KatiesHole [TypeKey Profile Page]:

This is devasting news, it is the end of an era. Maybe it will get picked up by another network, but it is doubtful. Ah well..life goes on....

why the hell would passions be cancelled for the today show. like really.. who watches the today show? I guarantee that NBC will lose alot of viewers if they cancel passions. This will be the worst thing NBC ever did. The today show is shit. passions kills the today show.

Robert White:

I think they should have left Passions alone. It is always a hoot to watch Tabitha wreak havoc on the residents of Harmony. I don't think they should have expanded the Today Show. The last day I watch Passions on NBC is the last time I will be watching anything to do with that station.

bablov:

NBC IS THE MOST STUPIDEST CHANNEL...I'M NEVA WATCHIN' DAT CHANNEL AGAIN...I'VE BEEN WATCHIN' PASSIONS SINCE I WAS 9..I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS..THIS IS SOOO FUCKIN' STUPID AND UNNECESSARY..NBC IS JUST A SELFISH, NONCHALANT, CHANNEL..AND WHO EVER WHO BROUGHT DAT IDEA OF GIVIN' TODAY'S SHOW A FOURTH HOUR..SHOULD GO 2 BLAZES..STUPID MOTHERFUCKERZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

CHRYSTAL SMITH:

I'M SOO FREAKING SAD! I'VE ACTUALY CRIED. I'VE WATCHED PASSIONS SINCE THE VERY FIRST EPISODE. PASSIONS IS A PART OF MY DAILY LIFE. HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELVES KNOWING YOU RUINED PART OF THE VERY MANY PASSION'S FANS LIVES? WHAT AM I GONNA WATCH NOW IN THAT HOUR? YOU CANCELLED MY OTHER ALL TIME FAVORITE SOAP SUNSET BEACH HOW COULD YOU? WHAT THE HELL DO WE NEED 4 FREAKING HOURS OF THE TODAY SHOW? THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE DUIMBEST SHOW EVER I HATE THE TODAY SHOW! I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO AGREE WITH ME ON THIS ONE. I WILL NEVER WATCH CBS AGAIN. I WILL PAY EXTRA MONEY TO GET SOAP NETWORK TO WATCH DAYS OF OUR LIVES. SCREW CBS FOR RUINING AN HOUR A DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE DAMN YOU CBS. LEAVE PASSIONS ALONE! LET ALONE TAKE AWAY AN HOUR OF TODAY SHOW AND BRING BACK SUNSET BEACH. CBS IS GONNA LOSE MAJOR RATINGS ON THIS. THEY WILL LOSE MONEY! I HATE CBS!!!! LEAVE MY FAVORITE SHOW ALONE!

Robert White:

Chrystal Smith,

I thought I would correct you Passions airs on NBC not CBS.

Jason:

This TV show is for pathetic fat teenage girls. I've seen a lot of soaps, but Passions is by far the worst. Maybe now these fat girls will get off the couch and go outdoors.

Soapwatcher:

This soap sucks the royal one. I'll take an extra hour of evangelism before I would take an hour of Passions. Thanks NBC....Meredith, Matt, Al and Ann are welcome anytime over that crazy with show.
