Re: Soap series must cease to exist
Heheheh!Ah, The Bold and the Beautiful, I mean.... DAMN! What is it that people like about that piece of crap? I think I will consider Frag's advice and burn a book. Actually, a whole collection of books, starting with fashion magazines I find. I think the first place to start is my doctor's waiting room: there's always loads of crap magazines in there; don't even have to check which ones, just burn them all

Re: Soap series must cease to exist
It is the serial nature of the soaps that makes them so addictive, Bijo. Sure, it seems stupid when you tune in for one show, but watch a soap for a week or two and you'll be hooked. Once upon a time, prime time TV was all episodic, then the TV execs discovered the power of the serial can be effective in outside of daytime programming. In the last several years, many of the more successful shows (at least here in the US) are serial rather than episodic.
Are you up for an experiment Bijo? The great Bijo Soap Opera Challenge. Can you resist the lure of your "favourite" soap after watching it every day for 1-2 week period? Or will you join the legions of mindless soapies hopelessly devoted to their show?

I only read the thread title but I agree with every word you have said.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

As the world hurts....
Arrrgh! Really! Which fool invented this title: 'As The World Turns' ? Or what about 'Onderweg naar Morgen' (Underway to Tomorrow), or 'Goede Tijden Slechte Tijden'? What the hell are those shows about? It's allllways the same damn thing: conflict in some form.
Just... just... shoot a bullet through my head right now!

Re: Soap series must cease to exist
You may be surprised to hear that we have a series called "Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten" here, now I wonder who invented it and who stole it.
I watch it every day of course, have to know what happens to Lisa.<- that was a joke

Re: Soap series must cease to exist
Here is a challenge for you. Can you tell me any single drama/play/movie that you have seen that has had no conflict in it?
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
