Goodbye, Soup.


I just can't believe it's over. :( Well, there's another channel I won't ever be watching again! Damn you all you jerks.

Goodbye, Soup. I can honestly say you were the highlight of my Friday. These are for you:

“Maybe it wasn’t tone or even customarily low ratings that did the show in,” Hank Stuever says of the Joel McHale-hosted clip show. "It might have been the unthinkable: It has become impossible for The Soup to keep up. No longer can a reality-show outrage or talk-show gaffe wait a week for its proper drubbing. In the highly competitive market of online clicks, such moments can barely wait a half-hour before they turn into old news and tired jokes. Each of us carries around in our pockets a machine that can clip videos and create GIFs, allowing users to provide their own snarky asides and disseminate them to our followers.”

Jeez Washington Post. Way to rub it in.

Honestly so sad this show is leaving. I've been a fan from the beginning- and I must be one of the minority that doesn't get their clips from GIFs or whatever. But I can understand where clip shows may not be relevant for a younger demographic. All the same, The Soup made my Friday nights/DVR Saturday mornings fun. And I didn't just tune in for the TV clips, but for the jokes/Joel & crew cracking up.

The Soup was one of my favorite shows and I'm so sad to see it go. I loved Joel's snarky comments, the clip of the week, Lou the dog, Mankini, et al. I actually went to a live taping of the show last year. Joel was really nice and let everyone take pics with him after the show.

That being said, I no longer have any reason at all to watch E! anymore. E! has become the KarTRASHian Khannel. Khloe is getting a new show "Revenge Body" or "Khloe Takes Lipo" or whatever. I hope E!'s ratings crash and burn.

May that channel and it's Main Source Income Trash Of A Family crash and burn so badly that they end up having to cancel the whole channel and rebrand it completely like The Hub and ABC "Family" did, and may that entire family that sold their souls to the devil be the first ones to go!

Farewell, my friend. The network can go to hell now for all I care.

It did that a long time ago.

It was a good light-hearted show. Now its gone. So E! can focus all its attention on what dress Taylor Swift wore at a red carpet and the whiny, nasily Kardashian hos.

reply

Go to hell E! And take the Kardashians and Momma Kris with you!
