I absoulutely loved this spoof of soap operas. But yet it still had that seriousness of a soap opera.

On of my all time fav shows. Billy Crystal was classic and I loved Burt Campbell making himself disappear. Our neighbors cat had kittens and we named them after the soap characters.

God, with this cast of actors, how could it not be a scream? I laughed so hard I cried and it's one of the few series I've seen absolutely every single episode of!

The last seasons kind of sucked though, and the final show was a real disappointment because it was nothing but cliffhangers.
