…No, not all web series. And not just any web series either. We’re talking about ONE LIFE TO LIVE and ALL MY CHILDREN, two former ABC daytime serials that are coming back from the dead (as in ABC stupidly canceled them) on the web.
Here’s the announcement Guild members received in an e-mail late yesterday afternoon:
Yes, really, Cinemax. Who’d a thunk?
All we know is that this is a new series that premiered on Cinemax January 13th, and that everything about it on the Cinemax site makes it look like, well, dreck.
Still, its creator/head honcho is Alan Ball, so it might be at least solid, rather than, you know, watery dreck.
…And we don’t get it. Sorry, but this whole thing feels like a parody (ooh, maybe it is!):
No shit, Sherlock. We want this. Where’s the damn order form?

Well, he didn’t really “force” the guy. CNET reporter Greg Sandoval could have abandoned his principles and stayed employed. Here’s the story:
Late last week, we told you that CNET had been told it could not even consider Dish’s ad-skipping Hopper DVR for an award because CNET’s parent company, CBS, was involved in a lawsuit over the device. Now comes news that a CNET reporter has quit over the directive, which one report says came straight from CBS CEO Les Moonves.
