Typical Early Soap Opera

Valiant Lady was a soap opera that premiered on CBS on October 12, 1953, and ran to August 16, 1957. Like most of the soap operas of the day, each episode was only fifteen minutes in length and aired live.

As is common for soap operas, Valiant Lady's storylines dealt with scandalous topics. At least they were scandalous for those times: children being born out of wedlock; women dating married men; a young man falling in love with a divorced woman; a teenaged girl learning to perform "unseemly" dances.

The show aired more than 1,000 episodes, but it was never terribly popular. Sponsored by General Mills and other companies, it aired daily at noon and preceded the soap opera, Love of Life. Love of Life was much more popular, airing 7,315 episodes until its cancellation in 1980.

Valiant Lady was a rather typical soap opera and its demise wasn't due to its storylines. It suffered from being the leadoff soap opera on CBS, and it went up against stiff competition from first the Tennessee Ernie Ford Show, and then later by the very popular game show, Tic Tac Dough.

In short, there was nothing memorable about this show.
