Description:

I am writing to you all today to help save a wonderful show. I am going to be sad to see it go. I Don't want it to go please help us change there minds...

 

(April 1) -- This is not an April Fool's joke (so far, at least) -- 'Guiding Light' will be no more come September.

The CBS soap opera that's been in existence for 72 years -- since 1937 on the radio and 1952 on the television -- will air its final episode post-Summer. The Associated Press cites declining daytime ratings and budget as the reason for the show's demise.
Soap Opera Digest, who was the first to report the cancellation, has a response from the show's executive producer, Ellen Wheeler. On the end of 'Guiding Light,' Wheeler said: "Being on the air for more than seven decades is truly remarkable, and it will be difficult for all of us at the show to say goodbye."

I have watched this show since the 1950's. They're like family. Cancel the writers, not the show. It's part of history. Shirley B.
I have been watching this show since I can remember at least 30+ years please save the show.
This show is also part of my family history. Save this show and bring it into the world of the Baby Boomers not just the youngsters. Now Boomers have more time to follow the stories of Springfield USA!

Millions of us have grown up with this show. GL is the longest running and best soap on the air. GL has been a life line for so many of us, this show has been our Guiding Light. I can remember being at my Grams watching this as a little girl. Back then it was on for 15 min's a day. Look at how far it has come. PLEASE KEEP GL ON THE AIR. THIS IS THE ONE SHOW WE CAN AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COUNT ON.
Soap Mag has story on the end of show. Guess all the fans were not heard. SHAM!!!! SHAME!!! SHAME!!! on CBS!!! To cancell the best soap on tv not to mention the great actors is showing where CBS priorities are!! Please think again and keep 'The Light Shineing'
Soap Mag has story of the show ending. I was hoping all the fan mail would change CBS mind. Guess not. SHAME on CBS!!!!! SHAMW!! SHAME!!! The best soap on the air not to mention the great actors and you are letting it go!!!! You sure have your priorities in the wrong places!!! Please think again and keep 'THE LIGHT SHINEING'
I have watched Guiding Light since 1982, everyday I look forward to watching it. The story is excellent and the actors are superb, so please do not cancel the show.
i can't believe that you are cancelling the guiding light i've been watching it since the 50's. please, please don't do this. if you can't save it please let some other station pick it up arlene dallon
I cannot believe CBS would cancel a show that is 72 years old. CBS should be proud of that and not want to cancel such a wonderful show. I tape it everyday for my daughter who comes here for lunch and watches the previous day's episode. Ialso know many others who don't want it cancelled. I have been watching for over 40 years. PLEASE PLEASE DON'T CANCEL GL.
Please keep GL on your station. I have been following the show for quite some time now and really enjoy it.
PLEASE PLEASE DON'T CANCEL GUIDING LIGHT. IT IS SO RELAXING TO ACTUALLY SIT DOWN AND WATCH THE SHOW..........WHICH I HAVE DONE NOW FOR OVER 40 YEARS. I WILL MISS IT DESPARATELY jmo
It was heartbreaking to learn that CBS is going to cancel my most favorite TV show. Like many others, I have been watching the show for years. I started watching it with my grandmother when I was about nine years old. As an only child, I felt especially connected to the characters and have continued to grow with them through my adulthood. If CBS takes away this dearly loved show, I will feel as if a part of me has died. I sincerely hope that CBS will reconsider their decision because they should be proud of having the longest-running soap and should want to continue its longevity.
Keep guiding light and get rid os some of the crap you put on for us to watch. There are to many changes going on in the world today, do you realize that TV has changer compelety as I have known it since I was 9 years old and I am now 70, cut the crap and give us what we want
I AGREE!!!!!
My grandmother (102 yrs)remembered when my mother started watching the Guiding Light as a young wife and mother, in the early 50's. They were both hooked, Grandmother just recently past, but still talked about the show. I was watching this program since I was a little girl with my mother (75 yrs old). And now I am watching this program, every day at home. It helps me somehow. Reva is my hero,I too have breast cancer, 40 yrs old with 3 toddlers and she has shown me great strength, courage. When I am getting my chemo and have to nap during the show, I record and watch it in the evening when I feel better. I really can't see this show come to an end. Please find a way, somehow, some way this program must be saved. The Josh and Reva story has been my magnet. Phillip is back and there is really so much more going on in the story. Please save the THE GUIDING LIGHT. Save our light, Please!!
I moved to Florida 12 years ago after a long college career and by accident I found Guiding Light and liked it immediately. It's the only soap I watch, most od the time I'm hme, I have on a 24 hour news channel but I'm hooked on Guiding Light, save it please. It's fun especially now that "Philip" is back. Thanks for reading this.
I have watched GL since I was little. I wonder what idiots decided to take another thing from loyal viewers. Is this how loyalty is rewarded? By taking yet another quality show away and replace it with some lame useless show? Please for once listen to your viewers and leave GL on.
Please do not cancel this show. It makes my day. I wait all day, everyday to see this show. I'm begging Please dont take this show away. My mother has watched this show forever, i have been watching it and my 4 girls watch it with me all the time. please please please dont take it away.
PLEASE DONT CANCEL THE SHOW!!! Alot of people live by this show!!! I do.. my 78 year old grandmother does too!!! My mother! And all my friends... lol.. Im a mother of 2 and everyone in my house knows not to bother me while I watch my only show I have.. what am I gonna do if you take it off.. My grandmother use to listen to guiding light on the radio before tv started.. She faithfully watches your show everyday!!
I am 39 years old and have been watching GL since I was a little girl. CBS is crazy to cancel it. I think they should try to save it by maybe hiring new writers, or even more important--getting Josh and Reva back together!!!!
I am 36 almost 37 I have been watching guiding light 4 31yrs i am heart broken. i love all the cast. I just cant beleive they are cancelling this wonderful show. Anything we can do to save this show should be done.
I HAVE WATCHED THE GUIDINLIGHTFOR 30 YEARS. I PRAY TO GOD THAT THE BEST SOAP ON TV WILL NOT BE CANCELED. IF IT IS EVERYONE SHOULD BOYCOTT ANY ADVETISERS. ON THE COMMERCIALS . THANKS BRENDA CASE NC.
