Put DOL back on – just getting exciting. I come home most days dor lunch and watch DOL or record it and watch it later when TVNZ has other CRAP on. PUT IT BACK ON – remove PACKED TO THE RAFTERS – hey what about putting on MASH as well – i am sure we all look forward to those 110000000 repeats.

TVNZ you are lying scumbags, DOOL wasn’t supposed to finish until april next year, today I turn my tv on at 2pm to get my daily fix and WHAT crappy ass repeats have taken its place. Please correct me if I’m wrong but it is only december is it not. Get with the planet TVNZ you have pissed off one too many soap fans and we are not amused. If you can’t find anything else but repeats or stupid game shows to replace our beloved soaps then please put them back on for us. The soap fans have spoken.

What happened to DOL going through to early next year. So much for being replaced by something “fresh”. A repeat of a show that has just finished in the night slot is not fresh in any way. I wonder how many people are actually watching the crap they have dished up as replacements to the soaps. Two hours less for the TV to go on.

I have been watching DOL & YR since I was a teenager i am now pushing 50, If you can not air the soaps anymore even though there is obviously a wide viewer/fan base the least you could is pass on from the distributor where we could get a dvd/video of the episodes from.
There is not much else worth watching in the afternoon, I hate repeats, won,t watch them, especially if they are bloody boring!!!!

I have been watching these two soaps for many years and they are like great friends to me. Since my husband died I have taped these and am very happy to go to bed at night and watch them. I don’t want to watch how a crime was commited and how they solved it or any do up your house or husband wife swap and as much as I enjoy cooking these days every time I turn the TV on some one is cooking. Please let us keep these old friends in our lives, ,life is tough enough without you taking away our friends. Think hard before you do this.

TVNZ has no idea of how the canceling of these programs will impact on the elderly & housebound members of our communities

I too am a fan of DOOL and am just as sad to hear that its going to be axed at the end of October – I have to ask Why then can’t TVNZ put DOOL into a time slot, say perhaps early in the morning when most people are asleep – Im sure all addicted fans (like me) will have a dvd or video recorder and then everyone will be happy and no-one will miss out. I for one don’t mind watching a recorded version.

I for one will NOT watch anything on TV 2 from noon till 7.pm if they take away the soaps. I also have been watching them since I was in my teens many years now.
Im sure there are many other programs that have less viewers.
I hope all the fans will join me & NOT switch onto TV 2.
