Days of Our Lives

I have watched the days of our lives since I was ten years old. I admit that some of the story lines are completely outlandish, like the one about eight years back about Marlena getting possessed by Satan, but for some unknown reason, I cant stop watching this show. The love for this show seems to be an epidemic in my high school as well, among both guys and girls. I never really watched a soap opera before this one, except for Another World. The show's contract with NBC comes under review in 2004. Myself, as well as many other diehard Days fans, are holding their breath praying that they renew it.

I think that THIS is without doubt, THE most boring tv-serie ever made. One thing is that this one has been going for over 38 years (why in the world would people want to see this?). And another thing is that you can stop seeing it for 3-4 weeks, and you would STILL be able to know what has happened. Personally, I, for one, think that this should be taken away from tv.

Days of Our Lives is yes, a little silly at times, but i find it addicting. I started watching during Christmas break of my sophomore year and now, a 47 year old woman, i still find the show irresistible. At times the story lines can become a little far-fetched (ex. the Salem Stalker) but that's why i turn the show on everyday. It gives me a break from reality and lets me explore a completely different world. Some may find it a little bit silly, but that makes it all the more exciting. If you want to watch Days of our Lives, I say start now because there's a lot to learn. This show has been running since 1965 and I've loved every minute of it.

This is the best soap that was ever on tv. Most of the charactors are great, like Bo, Hope, Roman, Marlena, John, Craig, Nancy.. and then there are some that are not so good, like Nicole, Nicholas. There have been some great storylines. I loved all of them except when Marlena was possessed. That was just a waste but I guess they can't all be perfect. Overall this is a great show. No wonder it's been on for 34 years.

I have been a DOOL watcher since 1980. I do understand that TV soaps are now catering to the new generation of watchers, especially the teens (I too began watching DOOL at age 12...I was captivated with the blossoming romance of the young "Bo & Hope" years).

Unfortunately, the story lines are predictable, non-orignial, and just plain crap now. I've stopped watching DOOL for nearly a year now and just picked it up again. I see that nothing has changes since my absence. They are now repeating stories from the 80s.
