These shows were 10 times better than the reality shows that flood our channels today.
It's very interesting how drama is so connected with commercialism--the "soap" of soap opera is, I believe, connected to the power of Proctor and Gamble. People find such entertainment in what is really a commercialized venture. Thanks so much for this article.
I'd forgotten Ryan O'Neal was on Peyton Place. He was so handsome then! Thanks for the memories :)
Brings back memories! Great article. :-)
Excellent submission! I recall a few of those. It would be interesting to know where the term "soap opera" originated.
