Is this show as depressing as it seems to be? I've always wanted to watch but I keep hearing how sad/'horrid' it is and I don't know if I want to get into that. lol

The only episode that you must watch is 'Sylvia' which is the best episode the show ever put out. Sylvia was a former actress who'd been on AMC and The Doctors, had moved back to North Carolina, was a very successful interior decorator and was also an alcoholic. Sylvia was like a character out of a Tennessee Williams play. Bill Bell and Agnes Nixon couldn't have written her better. It is the most riveting hour of television you'll see all year. Guaranteed.

And bless A&E for having the full episode online: http://www.aetv.com/intervention/video/sylvia

This is so spot on. Sylvia could easily stand next to Amanda Wingfield or Blanche DuBois and shine just as much. I wish we had soap characters like this one still.
