CBS has renewed Guiding Light for one more year.

The deal keeps the soap opera on the air through 2009 - but that doesn't mean fans will be stuck with the show's new artsy-fartsy, überjumpy format, reports TV Guide.

"I'm very pleased with some of it, and some of it needs to evolve," said CBS Daytime boss Barbara Bloom. "I agree that some of the camera work is shaky and frenetic and some of the close-ups are too tight — and that maybe we've broken rules that didn't need to be broken — but this is a work in progress.

We're just a few weeks into this new production model. I think everybody who's complaining needs to lighten up."
