Well, being self-isolated and work from home I figured it was time to pull out some old soap history I have had saved over the years. Disclaimer: This list was I had saved from back in the days of the Media-Domain soap opera boards(yes LOL) out of interest that someone else had complied, apparently for the best and worst soap choices picked by TVG between '91 and '07. If anyone sees any discrepancies or wants to expand on the choices please feel to share!

Bad year for daytime, huh? I remember that being the last good year for Y&R.

That year I had stopped watching soaps all together. Then when I became interested in the genre again, some years later. I was kind of shocked at how much things had deteriorated in just a couple of years.

If I recall right a spiteful Michael Logan justified his reasoning by saying every soap was  inconsistent that year in maintaining quality.

LOL, If they still did this for 2020 (given we even will have regular soaps back on the air by a certain point) I'd already give Y&R the best for it's reruns!
