Members allmc2008 Posted July 6, 2017 Members Share Posted July 6, 2017 Oh, MY GOD the first time I watched that a while back I cried. I hated it. So many fallacies as well. I"m writing a book on daytime and all my points I mention debunk all of his. He needs to be tied to a chair and watch Michael Malone's OLTL, Douglas Marland's ATWT, Henry Selsars EON, and CL/PM's Ryans hope. Good CHRIST is he wrong. I hate it when people say, "They were created to sell soap!" No, before the 50s they were hear to sell things most people made, including soap, Variety coined the term. You see, the term came to be because, as said, they were created to sell household products, yet, when done right they were considered the best of radio drama. Opra was consedered the best of entertainment, hence, the terms 'Soap Opera'. Soap being something everyone in the home uses. Further, ALL TELEVISION AND RADIO IS USED TO SELL. You could even say, "Primtime Proceduals are created to sell cars" Same damnable thing. Ugg, I could go on. PS. Message me for more info and sorry about the typos.

Members All My Shadows Posted July 6, 2017 Members Share Posted July 6, 2017 I was going to comment, but I'll just leave it alone. It's just sad that this guy has the time to create an 11-minute video about something of which he seemingly has no real knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GSGfan2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Members Share Posted July 6, 2017 How about this video? Does it show contempt for soap operas in general? How about the Dobsons' Santa Barbara? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
