September 27, 201114 yr Member I'm giving the soaps first shot. I tried watching DAYS on Monday but it doesn't interest me at all. I can't get back into it for anything. I had watched 1995-2001. B&B has always been the only CBS soap I could get into for any period of time. I'm watching today. The cast is so pretty and despite being so pretty they out-act the DAYS cast. I thought Jacob Young fit best into the role of Rick in his career but so far he isn't bringing it. It's probably because if he wasn't taping AMC at the same time he started taping B&B, he probably started taping at B&B within seconds of finishing with AMC. I'm liking B&B. I might watch again tomorrow.

I might watch again tomorrow. B&B also benefits from the 30 minute length--and (though this has also helped cause some of its downfall) the reliance on the same basic characters--compared to most soaps it's ridiculously easy to get into. I agree JY so far is basically just playing JR, but he did film them together, and there hasn't been much to his character so far.
September 28, 201114 yr Member JY was taping both BB & AMC. In SOW JY said he wanted Rick to have a different look but it wasn't possible yet because he was still shooting AMC. Judging by the his appearance on the Talk, he now has a different look. I'm getting a JR vibe as well especially Tuesdays epi when he was lurking in the car. It kept waiting for Rick to start playing with JR's gun...but it's expected now given the circumstances. I'm watching BB live now instead of AMC. Edited September 28, 201114 yr by Marley
September 28, 201114 yr Member I'm not watching anything in the timeslot. I'm not willing to pick up another soap at this point and I stopped watching the other ABC soaps. Edited September 28, 201114 yr by Dana
September 28, 201114 yr Member I used to tape AMC so I'm just not taping anything. I have no interest in Days, Y&R or B&B and I gave up on OLTL and GH years ago.
September 28, 201114 yr Member Recording Days and watching it when I get home from work. No interest in B&B right now. Since I work during AMC's time slot and it occurs during my lunch break I surf the boards and internet during lunch now or check email or do paperwork.
September 28, 201114 yr Member Since I stopped watching AMC a while ago, nothing records on my DVR at 1 PM. If I'm home at that time either the TV is not on or I may have it on but Bugs Bunny and Friends plays in the background on Cartoon Network.
September 28, 201114 yr Member I have DOOL on 1pm and BB at 1:30 I'm watching Y & R a day ahead at youtube. Edited September 28, 201114 yr by reallyhateskateonlost
September 28, 201114 yr Member I am usually asleep at AMC time! I don't have anything on the DVR but I might pick up B&B at some point. The shows I have watched here and there were decent and since it's only 30 minutes, it's possible.
September 28, 201114 yr Member Just one less soap to watch. Down to DAYS & OLTL, both of which air at the same time here. With B&B, I literally skim through it to see if there's anything interesting (more times than not, there's nothing worth watching). Same with Y&R, although these days, I skim through the first 10 minutes, see that they're all featuring characters I don't care about, don't recognize, or don't like their storyline, and go ahead and just delete the episode.
September 29, 201114 yr Member I can admit it I watched The Chew and liked it a little but I watch "Too Close For Comfort" reruns at 1.
September 29, 201114 yr Member Y&R. I have never been able to get into B&B not even for Brian Gaskill, Ric Hearst, Don Diamont and Scott Clifton, I adored them all on their other shows but I just can't find it in myself to watch the show fully. I think i'm just allergic to it. I haven't been able to get into Days. The last time I thoroughly enjoyed the show was when EJ was terrorizing Sami in those early months of 2007. Now that was a soap.
