If those "game shows" were to be of major help for ABC, they would have done them a while ago, when they actually had a chance to can The View and before The Chew went on the air. And no way in hell, ABC gives back that hour to its affiliates. What some posters seem to forget is that The View is still doing very well for the network--ratings wise and revenue wise. Why would they get rid of a show that still makes them money? All the problems the show has been plagued with over the last few years get magnified by the gossip mags, but despite that, they are doing well.

Yes, the ratings have declined over the years, but that was from their all time high's in show history. They're still beating The Talk (barely). As far as game shows, they'll have a hard time putting one up to compete against TPIR.

The Chew has been doing very well, I definitely don't see them canceling it anytime soon. General Hospital... it is a soap and so of course everyone will say to cancel it but it also does very well and I don't see them canceling it right now... maybe down the road.

Except that Chew and GH are still doing great in their respective timeslots and it would be a foolish decision IMO to remove them. I'd rather stick with what's working for the network right now. But if it took back the 2pm hour and place some game shows there, that'd be a very cool idea. If you don't like them, fine. Wanting their demise for something new for the sake of it while many other people love/enjoy these shows though is not very cool.
