Submitted by: Caroline Since Another World went off the air , I overextended myself with commitments, to ensure that every day is filled to the max. The prospect of getting through an empty day without my beloved friends was a grim one indeed! After a few weeks I had to pay extra attention to my cat, as he got stressed having to go without his snuggle time, and he started biting himself. When I found CSAW on the net , the realization that I wasn't alone was so wonderful. And the idea that I can stand up to the Networks and be heard was even more wonderful! You see, I am over 35, and am also one of these "housewives". Even though I chose to stay home and raise my son, over the years I have felt somewhat isolated as most other women work outside the home. When NBC clearly proclaimed people in my age bracket as an " undesired demographic," I got really angry. I have been doing one of the most important, albeit overlooked jobs there are today, and Another World was the only break I gave myself during the day. Yes, there area other Daytime Drama's , but I wasn't looking for fantasy. I got enough of that raising a little child. Another World gave me what I think most people find around those water coolers. Stories which make you say "been there..." or "tell me about it..." The CSAW (Committee to Save Another World) has given me the forum to express my discontent. Not by yelling or screaming, but by the power of education and quiet persistence. I have made so many friends in CSAW . My cat now curls up on my lap as I check my messages or visit my friends in the AW4EVER room. Still, I only spend about an hour each day , same as before. However, my self-esteem has soared, my knowledge about the Networks and how they are run in growing, and my world has opened up. All thanks to CSAW! I actually am not looking forward to the day that Another World goes back into production. With all the energy surging within the CSAW, we may have to find another cause . Isn't this how Kings got de-throned way back? Interesting, isn't it... |
Submitted by: Storm I still remember that bleak evening, April
12, 1999, when at around Midnight, I checked my email and online communities
about "Another World." The news of "Another World's" cancellation
shocked me. I was torn apart by this decay in television history.
I sadly signed off-line and turned on the television to watch that days
episode. To be honest the tears were already streaming down my cheeks
at this point.
