TV Week Reports: CBS may soon decide to pull the plug on “Guiding Light,” the longest-running daytime drama in television history.
While no final decision has been made, the network’s deal for the Procter & Gamble-produced drama”the least watched of the eight daytime serials currently on the air”ends in September. But if CBS does drop “Guiding Light,” it likely would lock in a decision within the next month, people familiar with the matter said. That would give writers a chance to tie up storylines.
CBS also would need to finalize new programming for the daytime hour that “Guiding Light” would be vacating.
I have a few great ideas of shows: to replace Guiding Light:
1. “Making The Band O’G Style”: Senior Citizens try out for the possibility of being in a music group.
2. “Makeover On A Food Stamp”: Use food stamps at Ralphs to completely make over your living room
3. “Crackden“: Follow 5 crackheads on their quest for another hit
4. “Overpriced: A spin off of Dateline’s investigative reports focused on 99cent, Rite Aid and Walgreens.
5. “Yule Log”- 24/7 Fireplace
6. “Of The Sea”- aquarium view at Sea World 24/7
7. “Idiots“- a complete drama about 3 incestious families who live in a van down by the river.
8. “Larry H. Parker Variety Show”- Bringing you the daytime favorite personality for an entire hour
9. “The University of Phoenix Quad Cam- No one goes to the school but we’ll show you anyways
10. “Trader Joes”- The story of grocery clerks and their drama in the famous store.

Hi Carrie, this is a really great top ten list. It would be very hard to replace Guiding Light, but I think I could get into Crackden, there would probably be some interesting character development and plot lines.
