Can I state how much I hate soap operas. I know there are many people who love them, but I just cannot stand them. The overacting, the predictable story lines, the list goes on. The part of soap operas I really hate is that every single frickin scene ends with someone staring at something (usually with a pissed face). I wonder if an actor has to demonstrate their sneer for their first audition? I find it all very irritating.
Now ... why ramble on about my loathing? Simple, my wife LOVES General Hospital. Do you have any idea how much space on my TiVo is wasted on THAT show? Fortunately, she does understand my loathing so she tries not to watch it around me. Tonight, however, I played online games on my computer and she caught up on her soap. And this is why I felt the need to rant: THE DAMN SHOW SUCKS YOU IN!!!!! That's right ... I find myself watching the story line and "caring" if Carly and Sonny get back together or if Xander got out alive or if Emily ....

DAMIT!!! SEE WHAT I MEAN!!! I KNOW ALL THEIR NAMES AND I HATE THIS FRICKIN SHOW!!!!!!!

A former actress on this show is starring in one of my current favorite shows, Joan of Arcadia. Its a great show and I highly recommend it. Its on Friday nights on CBS at 8 eastern, 7 central.
