Do you like Soapnet?

desertmom · **Do you like Soapnet?**

I'm so disappointed with it. I tune in after hours to watch my show that I can't have on during the day due to the bad language and violence. I expect my show to be on, and get irked that they're playing old movies, game shows and just stupid stuff. This new show MVP is just plain stupid, IMO. How many times do we have to hear "He shoots, she scores".? Even the theme song is ridiculous. And I don't think there's one attractive face in the show - no real eye candy.

**should I tell you how I really feel?**

I don't tune in to watch movies that were so stupid the first few times around like My Boyfriend's Back. What, there are not enough episodes of bad soaps?

I haven't watched soapnet for a couple years now, but that sounds really bad. What happened to all the old soaps? I loved to watch it for Dallas.

They still have 90210, but no Dallas, Knots Landing, Dynasty or even Melrose place. If they were thought up as a way to increase the dying Soaps fan base, they aren't doing a very good job. Between that and the bad stories, I'm not surprised that Soaps are doing so badly.

Y&R: Victor and his speedy marriage to a not-so-hot newbie with no charisma (even the actor was against it).

Days: Chelsea and her cute BF who is almost her dad's age. And has bedded her Grandma.

OLTL: Todd beating up on a kid who sides with him later, riding on old stories again.

GH: Violence

GL: No stories...really!

B&B: You mean Incest Junction?

AMC: They are going from bad, implausible to centering around Erica (I'm old, but I stay young w/plastic surgery and refusing to be branded as a Grandma Erica, yeah that one), and has casting problems. And storyline problems and continuity problems.

And everyone wears revealing things at the "office".

By the way, I don't really have time to watch all these...I read online and in SOD, and pick up a couple episodes a week late at night. You can miss a week or two and still be able to catch up....except when a guy like Victor can fall in love with a no charisma person in a week without checking her out first, and daughter Victoria waits until AFTER the wedding to let him know her former best friend found him on the rebound. Huh? Watch one time this month, and all will be revealed. Except who killed Ji Min. Oh, wait...that will be revealed, too. DAVID!

and not:

David Vickers. He's a keeper! Even DH laughs when he comes onto OLTL. Even funnier than when Tuc is on DHousewives!

I haven't watched soaps in a couple years. I tried to catch up in the last couple weeks, but you are right, the storylines are horrible. I hate it when they go all supernatural like what they are doing on OLTL for their 40th Anniversary (I did watch a little yesterday

) Boy was I confused to see the old Jessica playing Jessica's daughter, Megan. Glad they explained that one. Didn't know it was possible to have a daughter the same age as the mother, even in soapland, lol.

I love David, too! But the David and Addie thing is a little...yucky.
