People Are Furious About ABC Canceling "The Chew"

From Good Housekeeping

ABC announced today that they are canceling The Chew, a daytime lifestyle show focused on food, cooking, and celebrities.

And there's one group of people who are pretty happy about The Chew's cancellation: fans of the soap opera All My Children.

Their glee comes from the fact that The Chew replaced All My Children on ABC in 2011, after the soap opera's staggering 41-year run.

Obviously, a lot of people were upset at the time about their favorite show being canceled. It was briefly revived as a short-lived web series in 2013, but only lasted for a few episodes.

However, fans shouldn't hold their breath for another All My Children revival.

The network announced that Good Morning America will now go into the afternoon, with a third hour airing at 1 p.m. - the time slot previously occupied by The Chew.

There are a lot of people on Twitter who aren't so sure about a third hour of Good Morning America:

Some fans were also wondering if the decision to cancel The Chew was related to the sexual misconduct allegations against former host Mario Batali.

Eater NY published a report in December 2017 featuring the accounts of several women who said Batali had touched them inappropriately. Shortly after, ABC removed him from his role as a host of The Chew.
