Members allmc2008 Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 The other day I was trying to figure out why I like Daytime so much. I noticed that with Primetime you are constrained to one Genre. You can't have Law and Order do a story Grimm does. With daytime, you can have one story about medicine, another about family, another about law, and the other about Time-Travel. I also like that they run daily. So why do all of yall like Daytime?

Members JackPeyton Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 Honestly? I grew up on it. If not I doubt I'd be into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 I love the idea of watching a brand new piece of scripted television when the sun is shining at its brightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 Oh, and the hot guys. Guys on soaps are just hotter to me than the ones on primetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beebs Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 One reason and one reason alone:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRdfX7ut8gw Basically, if my mother and grandmother didn't watch, I would've given up on it years ago and never looked back.

Members alexisfan07 Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm not sure if it's that I like them so much as I'm sure they fill some sort of void in my emotional damages and whatnot, the characters always being there to enjoy even when your friends are assholes. Just being honest LOL. I do enjoy them though for the most part but I probably wouldn't be so into them if I hadn't started at like 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 Well first and foremost, I grew up with it. But I was always captivated by the drama, the love, and the VIXENS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 When I was a child, it captivated my attention with all the silly plots, the belief in 'eternal love' and similar [!@#$%^&*] (see Sunset Beach). Then during my teenage years, it fit perfectly for some time, while I was going through a dark period (see The Young and the Restless). And now? Mostly just to pass time. (once again, The Young and the Restless). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Susan Hunter Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 In no other broadcast medium can you follow a character's journey from birth to 'death' in almost real time. For example, I remember when Sami and Eric were born. I remember when Stefano kidnapped them. I remember when Sami returned to Salem when she was 15. When she saw John and Marlena on the conference room table and so on.... Movies and primetime are great, but I don't feel you get as intimately involved with the characters' lives as you do in daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 Because I grew up watching them, and when you've been watching since you can remember, you get invested in them. I doubt I would have started watching on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Charles Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 Well, my first reply was a tad in jest. Even though I do love the bitches and sexy men (), I have to agree that the characters almost become like old friends/family members; it's definitely a comfort to watch and "visit" them.
