[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 441107, member: 8"] I thought we got more than just 5 episodes, like, maybe 10 or 12, but the memory is vague so it's probably not the way I think it was. Twin Peaks, Northern Exposure, The Simpsons and X-Files were the 90s pop culture juggernauts therefore it makes sense that nobody was hoping for a revival of the classic prime time soaps that had dominated the zeitgeist of the [I]previous[/I] decade. Soap fans could still get their fix from the daytime soaps, especially the very popular The Bold & The Beautiful, and the ones made in the UK and Australia. Perhaps The Monroes arrived too soon, sort of a pre-[I]Dirty Sexy Money meets The West Wing.[/I] Nevertheless, it's interesting to think that the Clinton-Lewinsky affair started the same year these The Monroes episodes aired on TV. Had The Monroes continued it might have been upstaged by real-life political scandal, sort of what the real-life disaster did to The China Syndrome. Anyway, I'm glad you finally got the opportunity to watch (most of) the episodes. [/QUOTE]
