EssendonRam Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 They're all awful IMHO. There hasn't been a good soap opera IMO since the 80s and, even then, I hated Dynasty, etc and wasn't much of a fan of Dallas either. The only one I was actually almost 'addicted' to was Falcon Crest, although Knots Landing had the best looking women for a while. Of the current day ones, both Australian ones are dreadful. The English ones are a little better but I can't sustain much interest for very long. I watched Hollyoaks fir a week or two once and found it entertaining....until I realised it wasn't a sitcom. To be honest (not that I watch it), but I think Young and the Restless is better than most these days. As the sort of person who would never commit to watching a soapie for 2-5 hours a week, I find I can watch one or two episodes of that every few months and not be bored or lost. But all of the other US ones are dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I try really hard not to be elitist or stuck up about TV. We all have different tastes .. Jees .. Given the chance I'd be an intergalactic spice trader so who am I to judge ! But I really don't like soaps, especially any of the grubby ones like east enders and corrie. All that shouting betrayal and bed hopping without even the tiniest nod to good taste and decency. Next in line for my pseudo snobbery is Machiavellian US drama series where lunatics and convoluted plots go hand in hand to create wildly artificial story lines. Trouble is they are very popular so that makes me an odd ball and someone who needs to chill ... But I can't .. Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the name but it was similar in theme to the cartoon, Marine Boy. And Bobby was always wearing only shorts. My older sister drooled over him in that show.

I remember being a kid and us all chucking a few quid in to get a bottle of Thunderbirds from Raj's of Spondon. One day, the fool we sent to buy it came back with a bottle of QC sherry, I've never been so refined since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
