Which ones? Shows like The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and Game Of Thrones all have serial formats.

Daytime soaps are going extinct. Talk and reality shows are generally more popular but cheaper to produce.

My roommates and I were too. Its funny that 20 years later they still have a lot of the same characters and story lines. They never resolve anything.

Passions was stupid as hell but I watched from time to time.
If you ever spend some time in jail you will be surprised how many of those guys watch a soap opera pretty religiously.

When I worked for the nola criminal sheriff's office, the inmates all insisted on watching days of our lives everyday.

they didn't agree on much but, they all settled down when it was time for their soap opera.

Except they're trashier. Back in the day the audience was middle class housewives, so the characters were people they could somewhat relate to. Not so any more. The audience for daytime TV is not middle class, and daytime TV has adapted.

This is the story of two sisters. Jessica Tate and Mary Campbell. Jessica lives in a neighborhood known as "rich". Jessica likes life, the only thing about life she would change if she could, is that she would set it all to music. The Tates have more secrets than they do money. We're approaching Mary Campbell's house. Mary, too, likes life. Unfortunately, life doesn't seem to be too crazy about her. As you can see the Campbell's don't have nearly as much money as the Tates. They do, however, have as many secrets. Our story begins early one morning in Dunns River, Connecticut.

This crazy old bastard that worked for my dad's shop would sit around all day watching "The Young and the Restless". It was basically softcore porn for housewives on copious amounts of anti-depressants.

That's funny. That guy has been on there decades. I can remember my aunt watching that during the day in the early 1980's.

When nothing happens to anyone you'd think people would grow tired of the same ol crap.

I watched Days of Our Lives in the summer of 2004 every afternoon because the TV in the computer room only picked up open air stations.

I've been watching Bold and The Beautiful since its debut back in 1987. It's harder than kicking heroin to stop watching it after all these years.
