[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 323819, member: 27"] The format of soaps (especially in the older era) was such that it was not necessary to see every episode to keep up. They designed the shows to be slow-moving and repetitive not to bug the viewers, but to make it easier for housewives to keep up while also cleaning their houses, taking care of kids, and doing all the other tasks (appointments outside the home, etc.) that needed to get done. If you missed an episode (or large parts of an episode) it was not as obvious that something was amiss. So there might be many people who forget they missed an episode here or there and in fact don't have a "perfect attendance" record, even if they claim they do. There are also instances where live episodes were performed but pre-empted by news events, so everyone in the nation "missed" that episode. [/QUOTE]
