Reaching An All-Time Low

Congratulations ABC. You've reached levels of classlessness that I previously thought unobtainable.

First there was the online announcement that the "real Greenlee" was returning, then there was an interview, a banner and an official countdown on the daytime homepage, then the commercials hit the airwaves followed by a countdown ad (because only having it online wasn't enough), followed by the announcement of a Soapnet special and now this:

Yes, that is an ad for the original Greenlee's return WHILE the current Greenlee is still on the screen. I'd look pretty pissed too. I mean, what were they thinking?

Yeah, I don't know either.

Oh, but it doesn't stop there. That obnoxious ad ran during General Hospital:
Talk about overkill.

I think it's safe to say that Operation: Make Sabine Singh Feel Like S^*! was a success. I don't even know her and I'm offended.

All I can say is I sincerely hope that saying "what goes around comes around" is true.

Just when you thought it wouldn't (or couldn't) get any worse...ABC and AMC keep sinking lower! And it's only 10 days into the new year. I'm starting to even dread watching ABC at night because they are running the real Greenlee ads there also (Bless their hearts...they are assuming night time viewers even know who the character is). This classless ad campaign is wrong on so many levels. I wish they had put this much effort into promoting Debbie Morgan's return - that would have been so much more effective.

I haven't watched AMC in years, I have seen clips though on favorite-moments and Sabine is a fantastic actress! ABC should be ashamed of themselves
