As the World Turns going away


Posted: Dec 8, 2009

This is the only soap opera that I watch thanks to many years as a child through my mom watching it.  I grew up with this show!!!  Now it is being canceled.  I just can't believe it  I mean after Guiding Light I thought the show was safe!  The other soaps on other shows are thriving!  I don't get it.  That one about the witches and goblins is doing okay.  This is the only one that I could get into because it had things in it that felt like it could happen and not everyone was rich.  Maybe that is why it failed.  Maybe people don't want to see people that are realistic.

The little bit that I ever saw of soaps wondered why all - could sit around drinking coffee and not working

so it seemed, never got into the soaps at all. By the way, is that the 1 the Erica lady played on, not sure if that is her right name but she finally won an emmy after years and years of losing.

No she is on All My Children. I always taped - kg

Guiding Light and miss it big time, had been watchign it since I was a kid and stayed with my grandmother in the summers. I am 50, so had been watching it forever. My grandmother watched ATWT also, but I never really got into it.

I never got into the soaps either. - sm

My grandmother loved As the World Turns. She called it "my story", as in, "I'm watching my story now." LOL Even after 21 years of working from home, I could never get into them. I've had my share of t.v. addiction, however. I couldn't live without St. Elsewhere, for instance. West Wing was another fave. And these days I can't wait for Lost or The Tudors to come back on.

Oh that's cute. It was my mom and grandmother's "my story" too - lindawordlady

and they always do not call me when "my story" is on. Too cute! I actually missed school the day Kennedy was shot on November 22, 1963 when they broke into "As the World Turns" to tell us... I think that's when I got interested in following politics.

I love The Tudors - just me/hmmm

We cancelled showtime and HBO to save money, but I really miss The Tudors. That was one of the best shows. That and I liked TrueBlood.

Growing up I watched soaps with mom, but after leaving home I got away and don't have much interest. Just didn't seem realistic to me. There are some shows that are like a soap opera and once you stop watching you really lose your place. Nip and Tuck was like that. I watched the season when the lady had the baby with the birth defect and she had a little girl also and a teenage son who thought his father was one guy and found out it was someone else. Then we moved to an area where I didn't get it and years later I saw the son married to his father's girlfriend, belonging to Scientology, taking drugs, the mother became a lesbian and I just really lost track.
love tudors... HATE HATE showtime!!! - :)

they play the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.... just not worth the money!!! The thing about the tudors is that you pretty much know what is going to happen being that it is based on King Henry VIII, but the guy that plays him is dreamy.
The same here. LOVE Tudors, HATE Showtime - sm

I may trim a little off my cable bill by canceling it. We used to have HBO, and the programming was MUCH better. Really good original stuff.... The Sopranos, Rome, Big Love, etc. The Tudors will be back for the final season in April, I think. I may hang on until then, but then it's good-bye Showtime.

We would get our lunch "to go" from the student union instead of eating inside the cafeteria. We would pile on a friend's bed that had the TV and watch it!
I haven't seen it in fifteen years. :(

Hopefully, the army will rally around the population and find a face-saving way to remove him before an assassins bullet finds it target. Otherwise, it ...

Justice Dept. Turns Over More Than 64,000 Pages Related To Fast And FuriousNov 05, 2014
This caught my eye last night, but there was too much good stuff going on to post this. To me, the most telling sentence is: "In total, 64,280 pages arrived on Capitol Hill — all material that had been withheld from Congress by President Obama, who used executive privilege to keep the information from lawmakers." Now that the obstructionist Democrats are no longer in power in the Senate, maybe we can get some closure to all these scandals and hold people accountable for this, for Be ...

Why In The World Is It People Always Want To Dec 16, 2015
I realize that's a question with a wide range of answers possible. This town seems to have a lot of ghetto-y, trashy type people who always want to settle any type of dispute, no matter how minor,  by fighting.   Offering someone to  "square up" and beat the crap out of them. That's really going to prove or accomplish something?   Seems to me all it proves or accomplishes is that people are too ignorant or lazy to discuss facts in a reasonable manner, mu ...
