As the world hunts

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!

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

I don't think all soap opera's should be cancelled. There are bound to be a few where the actors take their job serious, the characters don't monologue when facing a mantle piece, people don't die and come back a year later, a character suddenly changes appearance without a good explenation, there isn't a murder plot every two weeks in a small town and whole storylines end when a person wakes up after haveing dreamt a year of occurences.

There must be .... right?

Oh, when could you guys help me ban the so called 'tele novelle' which seem to be very poular in Flanders. A tele novelle is a soap opera but with an ending unfortunatly it has the characteristics of your run of the mill awfull soap opera (at least the one I have to watch with my girlfriend and here family).

I watched All My Children for almost twenty-years. Our housekeeper watched it every day at lunch back in the 70s when I was a kid, so I ended up watching it as well. Got hooked. When I worked as a security guard in the 80s, most of my shifts made me miss it, so I would tape it all week and watch all five episodes during the weekend. Not sure when I stopped watching, must have been in the 90s sometime.

Never watched any of the others, just All My Children.
