It seems as though more people were home during the day back then. Just wondering? I'm not a big TV watcher. It seems they were more popular back then. I think the following are key to changing that: * Cable - more channels, more programs disecting the pie more. * More women in the workforce. * Less compelling storylines in soaps today. What other topics can they cover? Pretty much every angle has been covered. * VCR and DVR's. Many still record these programs, but that data isn't as comprehensive as Nielsen would like.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	I don't watch soaps. Never have. I have friends who would miss their children's graduation if it meant missing a soap... I actually don't watch much TV at all. I use to enjoy the forensic files shows until I realized that it was having a negative impact on me (sleepless nights) so I stopped watching those. Now I watch Deal or No Deal (I want on that show) and Piorot on Sundays along with Sherlock Holmes...Murder She Wrote...that's about it. No soaps for me. I guess my life was too much like one for years... JJ

Dancing Dolphin Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 2529 Loc: Southern California	My mother has watched Days of Our Lives since I was a little girl. Then, when I grew up and moved out of the house to move in with my boyfriend (aack! we weren't married!!) she quit watching for awhile because "her life was too much like a soap opera") Oh the drama....
