Dear CBS,

I’m sorry it as taken so long to get back to you. I’ve been going through the stages of grief after the loss of my good friend, Guiding Light. It took a long time but I think I’m finally starting to heal. I still miss it dearly, but I have some wonderful memories.

However I have now learned that my other dear friend, the one who has been helping me through the grieving process, As the World Turns, has been given a terminal diagnosis too. All the old wounds have been reopened and made even deeper by this news.

CBS, I have been a loyal friend to you for over 30 years. No matter where I’ve lived I have always found you.  From the time a woke till the time I went to sleep we were in constant communication. But now I realized it was a one way conversation, you never listened to me. You threw ‘Survivor’ at me, you took wonderful shows (CSI) and diluted them with spins off, not spin-offs, but copies of the original, a spin off would tell a new story not the same story in a new city.

CBS, I think the time has come for me to see other networks. The internet has some offerings from people that care about how I feel. I can watch the ‘The Young and the Restless’ on Soapnet. We can still get together on Sundays for Football.

But other than that I’m not sure that contact would be a good thing for me. You obviously don’t care, so I’m sure you won’t miss me. It was a good run I guess, but I can’t do it anymore.

Good Luck with the game show or reality show or what other crap you want to serve up.
