Ha it's funny because back in 1975, a therapist did a series of articles--she said that soap operas were wasting women's lives away, bla bla. One of her suggestions was that they do them all, or half the characters, in a foreign language to teach women something useful, or center them around how to provide nutritious meals for their families. It got a lot of angry replies--with good points (why did people think soap operas were a waste of time, but not the more male targeted prime time shows? Couldn't they watch Sesame Street if they wanted to be educated--the whole point of soaps was to take a break in the day for escapism. Who said it's some how more worthy to spend two hours watching a play than two hours watching a soap, etc).
