Members applcin Posted September 15, 2014 Members Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm not a viewer but I always thought just the title "The Bold & The Beautiful" was cheesy so I figured the show would be, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted September 15, 2014 Members Share Posted September 15, 2014 B&B was good back in the day. I haven't been able to set through it for years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted September 16, 2014 Members Share Posted September 16, 2014 Bold & Beautiful became outdated as we soared passed 2000 and they continued with the same stories, background music, and theme song. Their 2004 update wasn't much of an improvement. It wasn't til they updated their transitions, music, and opening (2011) that it suddenly became the hippest, most modern day soap.

Members YRfan23 Posted September 16, 2014 Members Share Posted September 16, 2014 Passions was pure cheese with a capitol C! haha all soaps to be fair have cheesy moments....I would say the current cheesy soap IMO is probably B&B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 16, 2014 Members Share Posted September 16, 2014 Should PASSIONS count, though, if the show was supposed to be a parody as some hardcore fans have maintained? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted September 17, 2014 Members Share Posted September 17, 2014 I would count it, as cheesy as it was I admit it became really cheesy only towards the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted September 17, 2014 Members Share Posted September 17, 2014 There was nothing so-called about it. GH had a popularity no soap has ever had before or since. Those were the glory days, weather machines and all. Nothing even comes close except the rest of the ABC daytime lineup from that same period brought along by GH's popularity. To deny that those were its glory days is like saying the 60s were not the glory days for Motown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 17, 2014 Members Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hands down - Passions. Pure cheese served with plenty of whine! *coughTheresacough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted September 17, 2014 Members Share Posted September 17, 2014 I don't deny its popularity, obviously, but I've watched enough from the era to know that I don't really find anything all that glorious about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 17, 2014 Members Share Posted September 17, 2014 Maybe it's one of those things where you have to be there to appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted September 18, 2014 Members Share Posted September 18, 2014 Days during the supercouple era (1983-1990) and Reilly's sci-fi era (1993-1997). Practically everyone I went to school with was obsessed w/ Days back then but I could never get into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 19, 2014 Members Share Posted September 19, 2014 My sister sure was - the Reilly era, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevieM Posted September 21, 2014 Members Share Posted September 21, 2014 The obvious answer is Passions. But to be fair, the show was pretty open about what it was: high camp. Sunset Beach would come in second. You could make an argument for Generations, but the show might well have evolved (if it had the ability to survive at all). Days of our Lives has always been the cheesiest of the major soaps. I definitely think that NBC daytime has an attitude that is distinctive from the other networks. It felt very weird when Hogan Scheffer was writing--it didn't look like an NBC soap. All of that being said....the stupidest thing ever written was on ABC. Erica's un-abortion. Nothing can ever compete with the idiocy of that story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
