I heard friends talking about this new kind of soap (going waaaaay back to 1966) so I started watching. My friends hurried home from school, flew in the door and immediately starting watching DS. They said if I wanted to hang out with them, I'd better start watching (in other words they weren't interested in playing until it was over). I was only 11 but it became my first full fledged soap. My mom was saying Novena's just about, worrying my soul had gone to the devil. LOL! I kept saying oh no, it's not that bad Mom! My DS fave - Quentin Collins!

I cried when DS ended (again, the first of many tears shed over soap opera shows and/or characters - Roman Brady, Bobby Ewing, Val Ewing, etc.!).

We could remake our lists according to categories, ya know....;-)! You know, classic, current, soaps, etc.

See what ya started Dennis! LOL

I liked Barnabas Collins!! My older sister and brothers used to watch it and my mom was concerned about me watching it as well!! But I absolutely loved it! I think I will order the DVDs :D

Barnabas Collins huh? Well, he was misunderstood and hung up on the wrong girl! Remember his shaky, extremely nervous assistant - Willie Loomas? That actor was great at playing a wreck of a character! Remember the kids - David and I want to say, Amy? Wasn't she a ghost though? My mom used to ask me - can you keep all of this straight? Then they'd be wearing clothing from the 1800s and she ask - why that was? I explained they had gone back in time. LOL!!!

Looking back, I'm sure she thought I'd stumbled upon the wrong show!!!

I heard they have DS conventions, similar to Trekkie or Star Wars ones. You could always crash one sunny!

And oh, one final note. My classmates and I went to daily Mass each morning back then, before school. With our class. And when St. Barnabas' name was always mentioned, there were snickers, giggles, each and every time. Surprised we never got into trouble!

Here's a treat for you, I often refer to the Internet Movie Database site.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059978/

A cult classic they call it - yep that's about right!

Nice to see some Red Dwarf fans here. That is my favourite programme of all time, I've even got the interactive DVD that came out last October. :lol:

Current best thing on tv by a long way is Top Gear, don't know if you get it over there but many other places such as Australia do. This week's episode included building a reusable space shuttle out a Reliant Robin. It got up to a few hundred metres as planned and the side fuel tanks fell off but the main one didn't leading to a big explosion when it hit the ground. Still not bad as it was the biggest non commercial and most powerful non commercial rocket ever launched in Europe.

I also like the Simpsons. :D

We could be here all day....The Carol Burnett show! I had forgotten that show Annette. I loved it. Still crack up, imagining that scene where she comes down the Tara staircase, wearing a dress made out of drapes like Scarlett O'Hara - but with the drapery dod still attached!!! Hilarious skit. Remember when she tried to walk thru the doorway? She had to turn sideways.

I think that show was so funny, especially when Harvey K. or Tim C. would start to crack up and then everyone was laughing so hard, you were laughing over ~nothing really~ and it was all just so punch-drunk funny.

They don't make shows like this anymore....:-(
