[QUOTE="Werewillie Oleson, post: 205702, member: 8"] But with it continuous and open-ended narrative I think it kind of is. And soap operas, like real life, are unpredictable and also a balance between good and bad quality. . But why not? The first thing that springs to mind when someone mentions a soap opera is everything I [I]liked[/I] about it. My favourite characters, my favourite scenes. It's fun to bitch about the things we don't like, but since we can't change them, questions like this thread title only (unnecessary) adds to the frustration. The (mostly) unpopular Later Years Dallas doesn't retroactively affect the Glory Years, and Dallas the soap opera was never meant to be a complete, finished package so it's not like you could improve it by taking the bad parts away. The only difference would be that it wouldn't have happened. Where's the fun in the non-existence? Not "great", but "valid". Unless it's so [I]extremely[/I] offensive that the only way to improve it is to remove it altogether. But I can't think of any tv series that made me feel that way. [/QUOTE]
