I've watched most of the soaps since the late 70's and GL has always been my favorite soap. The early 80's was fantastic (Nola, Quint, Carrie), the mid-80's were good but then it rebounded in the late 80's/early 90's into spectacular, must-see television. At the same time ATWT was also earning kudos, so those two back to back were an unbeatable duo in terms of quality. Y&R has been good, sometimes great but I think one of the reasons for its #1 status in the ratings is due to its timeslot. That's awesome you saw the earlier stuff in the 70's. All the Roger Thorpe and Alan Spaulding stuff. I started with Y&R in the 80's, but then got into the other two. Being I couldn't watch 3.5 hours of the stuff every day, I made the choice of ditching Y&R for just GL and ATWT. Yes, Roger and Holly, Alan and Hope, Nola and Quint, boy those were the days! Yes, after a while it becomes too much to watch all of them. I would watch a few minutes of Y&R and then switch to DOOL during commercials and vice-versa, lol that's how I kept up with those soaps. But with GL and ATWT I would tape those two and watch in their entirety. The good old days! |
