I watched several soaps for years. Loved them because I could watch/listen while doing other things..easier than trying to read a book. But about 10 years ago, the story lines of the ones I liked changed so drastically that I just stopped watching.

I don't watch soaps; I watch what I call "Damsel in Distress Movie Network", or Lifetime Movie Network. Some of the movies are great; but most of them are fun escapism. I am addicted. Definitely. I even DVR them so that I can actually get things done...and go back later and watch them.

I'd sooner lick the paint off a barn.

My grandmother and her neighbor watched General Hospital from day one. I used to think they were talking about "real people" on the phone, but realized they were just catching each other up if one of them went to Brattleboro for the day.

My mom watched a couple, but I'll confess that I don't remember which ones.

Back in the day, when I was pregnant, had a toddler, and was stuck at home without a car, my friends encouraged me to get interested in a couple of soaps. I tried, I really did. The best I could do was rally a fondness for Victor Newman.

That said, I also can't stand watching football, Survivor, virtually all of the comedies, and golf. To each his/her own.

My vice is Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. Especially him in his pantaloons when Elizabeth and her Aunt and uncle go to Pembleton (?- his estate).

As another said in another movie based on P&P. modern times and old "Even Colin Firth isn't Colin Firth" Mr. Darcy - Sigh.

Dark Shadows!!!

How I wish I could find reruns of THAT soap opera!!!

I used to love that one! It came on after school and I'd watch it.....and then be scared!

We have a new channel ( antenna tv ) that carries a lot of older tv shows - 3 stooges, Maude, good times, Sanford & son, all in the family, father knows best , monkeys, partridge family...., and some movies on the weekends.

nothing like going back in time LOL

I also like cooking, crafting & home fix up shows.

I watch General Hospital. I have since the Luke and Laura days. I worked, so I taped it and watched it while having dinner when nothing much was on. I still do.

I tape it, yes I still have my VHS tape TV (all in one) little 13 inch TV, in my computer room now.

I am a General Hospital fan only. I may watch a nighttime show but not much on, IMO. I don't watch reality shows or games shows.
