[quote=Anonymous]OP, here's my theory: Before the proliferation of cable channels and reality TV, daytime soaps were the junk programming and primetime was full of good quality sitcoms and dramas (Mary Tyler Moore, M*A*S*H*, NYPD Blue, Cosby Show, etc.) Daytime soaps earned their reputation during that era and the reputation remains. Now, though, the regular and non-premium cable networks are full of junk programming, too, but only daytime soaps are still stigmatized. HBO and Showtime make most of the really good programs. (Damages, on FX, is outstanding, though.) Enjoy your soap, OP! It's only hypocrisy that treats your pleasure as a guilty one. BTW, I loved soaps growing up, in college, and grad school, too. I had stopped watching them but was still sad when my two favorites from years ago went off the air: Another World and Guiding Light. [/quote]
