Giddy

Over the years I have watched my share of soaps when I have had the chance. Ryan's Hope, Days of Our Lives, Texas, General Hospital, and to me the mother of all soaps, Another World.

I whittled down my soap watching and easily cast some aside over the years but Another world was the one I started watching first and was loyal to forever, until it was taken off the air. I used to tape it during the day and watch it when I came home from work, or at another time when I was home with my babies, I watched it during the day. However, I always watched. So when it was taken off the air it was like losing a part of the family. Okay, a screwed up convoluted overly dramatic part of the family, but family none the less.

Today I discovered that I can download episodes, in order, episode after episode, and I can watch it again. Okay, nothing new will happen. I will have to endure the shoulder pads and heavy makeup from the 80's with them again. I will see the babies that are carried upstairs one day as infants, come down those same stairs a year later as teenagers. I will see the same explosions, the different actors playing the same characters, the weddings, miscarriages and the deaths all over again.

I will love every moment. I am so excited I am almost giddy! I should probably buy stock in whoever makes DVD's because I will be burning a lot of them.

I know there are others out there who miss the show as well, and for you, enjoy:

My favorites are Y&R and B&B. I don't watch them every day but it seems you just have to watch a little bit here and there and then you are all caught up with everything that is going on.

How neat to be able to download the old episodes. I will have to see if my favorites are downloadable too.

If you like soap operas; just watch cable news every day...drama galore.

I have to admit that is where I get my day time soap fix.

Guiding Light and Young and the Restless.

Watched them as a kid, and I swear they all still look the same.

I started watching Another World just a few months before it was canceled. Never could figure out what the heck was going on.

I'm down to one soap (Y&R) and don't want to backslide by taping episodes. So, I guess I'll never figure out Linda Dano & the AW crew!

Hi,

Enjoy the present moment that you have now !

Aww ... that reminded me of my grandma; she watched Another World religiously and was a pissed off old lady when they canceled it.

In high school, we all rushed home each day to watch General Hopsital (I think that was it anyway)..during the whole Luke & Laura drama (this is really stretching the memory here!) LOL
Cheers!
