If we are talking the afternoon version of soaps, I watched something with my ex-gf back in the late 90's and was dumbfounded how awful it was. I think it was One Life to Live or Another World. However when I was a little kid, like 3-5 I was fascinated by The Young and the Restless for some weird reason.

Re: Don't front...Did you ever watch soap opera's?
Watched "As the World Turns" religiously when I worked nights as a reporter/editor from 1988-93.
I also enjoyed nighttime soaps such as "Dallas," "Knots Landing" and "Melrose Place." I still love "Dream Team," the English soccer soap on Fox Soccer Channel.
Hell, I'd rather watch soaps than any reality show. At least soaps have character development, juicy, outlandish stories, hot chicks, sex, crime, intrigue -- all things missing from most network shows these days. And there's no pretense about it being real -- it's a soap, after all. Nearly everything you see on a reality show is scripted or choreographed, and if you believe otherwise, you're naive.
Take care,

Dallas and Y&R as a kid, Another World for a bit in the early 90's.
Victor Newman always cracked me up -- 10 marriages (3 to Nikki), plus having kids AFTER getting a vasectomy. Also, I always enjoyed the soap conceit of sending your pre-teen kids to "private school in Switzerland" for a few months, and voila -- they return as 18-year-olds!

From '92-'99 I watched One Life to Live. My parents would watch it and got hooked.
Todd Manning was a character that really brought life to this show.Last edited by CaptainZombie; 08-26-2006, 12:40 PM.Comment

I still watch Y/R to this day, and Nikki on some days is just drop dead gorgeous.
I know she may be in her fifties, but I would tap that *** till I had to tap out.Comment

Re: Don't front...Did you ever watch soap opera's?
Thought about making a post like this, but didn't have the guts to pull the trigger. I've watched the long running soap "Guiding Light" since 1979 and since buying a VCR in early 1983 I taped every episode (minus 5 or 6 due to electrical outages or human error) up until late 1999 (about 4,000 episodes). The show got so bad that I stopped watching in 2000 and 2001, but picked it up again in January of 2002 and haven't missed an episode since. They just recently taped their 15000th episode.Comment

Jaybee you ever thought of converting your eps to DVDs and selling them on ebay or something like that. I was looking around and there are actually people out there that trade/sell old eps of soaps!Thought about making a post like this, but didn't have the guts to pull the trigger.

Re: Don't front...Did you ever watch soap opera's?
Never watched anything other than Guiding Light Sportsman. I wasn't very clear, but I never archived the show. Once I taped it and watched it I taped over it.Jaybee you ever thought of converting your eps to DVDs and selling them on ebay or something like that.

Re: Don't front...Did you ever watch soap opera's?
Back in '03 during summer football workouts at my college, I wound up seriously hurting my back (ultimately had to stop playing because of it), and during all that downtime of not being able to do anything, I ran into All My Children. I literally haven't missed an episode of it since almost three years later.
That next year they had a big crossover (something else I'm a sucker for typically, no matter what medium) event with One Life To Live, and now I casually check that once every few months just to keep up with the continuity."In a world gone mad, only a lunatic is truly insane" - Homer SimpsonComment
