Or, well, soap dramas.

Personally I like them a lot, ESPECIALLY Mexican soaps. But I can't take more than a few hours at a time.

What about you?

Not really but I don't mind people watching them and also I don't necessarily dislike them as I was sort of more or less raised with them on the telly so yeah. Standard fare here.

Tele mundo!!!

Mexican soap operas are amazing. I can watch em all day. And as for the u.s. stuff, Passions was amazing. It had ghosts, eitchrs, the devil, and a Pinocchio.

I also used to have a thing for a late-night dramas. Particularly Dallas and Falcon Crest.

"Soap" was a parody of soaps. It's actually a really good sitcom type of show.

Interesting.

I was thinking about it, and The Sopranos is...The Soap-ranos. Not entirely sure if this was intentional or not.

Our current definition seems to be 'television drama and/or operas whose central plot revolves around soap.'

Yeah, sorry, I know there's well recived British soaps, but I just cannot stand them.

TV just annoys me as I find it incredibly dull.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_opera
A crucial element that defines the soap opera is the open-ended serial nature of the narrative, with stories spanning several episodes. One of the defining features that makes a television program a soap opera, according to Albert Moran, is "that form of television that works with a continuous open narrative. Each episode ends with a promise that the storyline is to be continued in another episode"
