Okay. Since I checked at about 9pm last night, there have been 6 pages on this thread. What did I miss?

Well, Kathleen revealed to Nathan that she was actually part aardvark due to a secret experiment by aliens. Meanwhile, Malcolm and Debra were stymied in their attempts to adopt when the child turned out to be the Anti-Christ. At the same time, the 5-goats killer struck again, and Detective Hor...no wait, that's my soap opera.

Nope, 1923 was when the first soap opera started. Back then it really was about selling soap.

Actually I knew about it becase my grandmother used to sit and listen to the old radio soap operas for hours on cassette. She used to make us kids listen whn we came to visit during the summer. Some of her favorite characters and actors actually had transitioned from radio to television in the 1950's. That was back before they recast roles every few monthes.

I do remember that Guiding Light was the oldest American soap opera, first on the radio, then TV. Not that I watched it or anything.....

Back when I was in high school, I took some classes on radio and television production. I mostly worked on sound and running th video control boards, but we had unit on set design and our tacher told us a story about soap operas. He had woked for a few years on One Life to Live and one Friday after the last shoot of the day, they brought in a cleaning crew to clean one of the sets. On the mantle of the fireplace in this particular set there was a vase. One of the cleaners picked up the vase to clean the mantle and moved the vase three inches to the right. They filmed the episode on Monday which aired on Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon after the show had run they got thousands of irate calls from fans who wanted to know why the vase had moved. His point was that fans notice little details, but what he really taught me was that people who watch soap operas have no life an lots of time on their hands.

Worse, it had been working for a company that does those annoying, dinner-time phone sales.

Wow. I can't say I've ever gotten so into a soap that I noticed something that stupid. Actually I think what that says is when your actors suck fans notice the little things. ;)

Like when that evil bastard Roger forced Niki to sign away her inheritance and they closed one episode and opened the next with the same scene. But they screwed up and had Niki using her left hand, then her right one to sign the papers!!! ARGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Not that I watch or anything....

As I undestand it One Life to Live was one of the better shows back then. My grandma and my mom loved it. I liked The Edge of Night when I was little but that was sort of a soap opera Law and Order so go figure

Even a decent show can get some real duds on the cast sometimes. I used to watch Guiding Light when I was in high school. But then I started watching Days of our Lives when I was in college. I still watch it sometimes. It's so over the top that it's funny. Passions was even better, but sadly it's gone now. It had all the 'supernatural' crap going on that made it like watching a really bad horror film at times. :)

Don't you always wish that you could somehow siphon off the extra time from people who always complain about spending a lot of time being bored? =P I mean, I don't have 1/3 of the amount of time I need or want to do everything I want to do .... and then there are some people who worry about the position of vases in a soap opera.

Darn post monster kicked me out completely!

As I was saying -

I used to watch Dukes of Hazzard until they messed up and filmed Daisy in full-length jeans. Ruined the continuity.

Wait, that wasn't a soap opera?
