Yes I am a male binge watching old soap operas

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

Wow As the world turns had a lot of actors and actresses who went on to be great. So far I have seen Marissa tomei meg Ryan and lots I go "Hmm who is that?"

Also love watching the old commercials, news breaks and upcoming shows during the episodes.

1. I am binge watching Grey's Anatomy on Netflix. Never saw it on network TV

that is a hell of a series.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

2. I enjoyed the first few sessons

Then it seemed to go blah to me.

[doc03]

7. I am in season 10, they have carried the near death experiences

the doctors go through way to far. If I worked at that hospital I would get out while I had the chance.
Before it is over I think everyone will end up in an all inclusive doctors orgy. Everyone
on the set has had sex with everyone else at one time or the other I think.

3. I am binge watching House of Cards

Almost done Season 2. Wow. Kevin Spacey is brilliant.

4. Used to love that series

But this year, because of the awfulness of the Trump administration, it lost it's charm. Real life is so much worse

[Dave Starsky]

9. Yup. Trump wrecked that show.

Real life has become far more absurd and shocking than what a mere TV drama can produce.

I wish they had gone with introducing a Trump-like character to challenge Frank Underwood. You would find yourself rooting for Frank.

I imagine that Trump-like character being played by Gary Busey. He would be perfect.

12. Think of that a lot

Despite all the plot complications, "this is how government would be if grownups were still in charge."

20. I have not been able to bring myself to watch the last season yet.

Just too close to home

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

5. Never seen him less than brilliant

Love that guy

[blue cat]

6. I have a huge headache from binging

Due to lack of sleep. I couldn't stop watching Mindhunter on Netflix.

8. Where on earth can you find

old As The World Turns? My mother raised us with that on the old black and white TV every afternoon then my grandmother would call her and they would talk about "the story" as my grandmother referred to it. I would watch it off and on until I was out of college and had a VCR then I would work and come home and watch it. I got hooked and watched until the last few years when I had a major upsetting of my life so I missed the last 2 years of it and sometimes wonder how it all came out.

If you look on IMDB you can see that there were a lot of famous people who started in that show. Julianne Moore played twins. So many started their careers on the soaps, lots of Broadway people do them now and then too but that is a huge commitment when you are already doing 8 shows a week.

Anyway, if you would tell me where I could find ATWT I would be forever grateful. I have some wonderful (and some horrible) life memories wrapped up in that show. I remember being a little kid when we had only one window air conditioner and we would take our naps while the 30 minute story ran on the TV in that room. My mom could relax for 30 minutes and we laid quietly and comfortably on the floor. Old Bob Hughes and Lisa (whatever last name was the original for that character) before they were married. 1950's. My life was wrapped in "the story".

ATWT season

Wala

11. Btw can you explain the Dr. John

He seems like a bad guy good guy?

[MuseRider]

13. He is both.

I am assuming you mean John Dixon? I think that was his last name. He mellows out from time to time. Odd character. You can see him in a few movies as well. He was in one of the Die Hard movies, I think the first. He is one of those you love him then hate him.

I actually hate that I know that. It is good escapism, just what the old housewives needed in the middle of their boring ass days.

Keep this up and we may need a special group. 🤤

14. My daughter thinks I am insane

She points to only one soap on t.v. as "see they are flops"

I then explain to her how her grandmother enjoyed them as a break in her day. Now she asks questions about her family she didn't get to know

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

15. Yea him

It was the 3rd die hard the one with Sam Jackson

Yea he seems creepy I'm on the 1985 season where his role is prodomident.

[MuseRider]

19. Martin Sheen was in it

for about 5 years, before 1980, not sure what dates.

Also Jason Biggs.

LOL, fun to look back. There are a lot of names there in that very long list. Some were kids of stars who either went on to do things or not.

[LeftInTX]

16. I watched ATWT during that time period

I remember the James Stenbeck character being a major plot.
I remember Marissa and Meg Ryan.

[lunamagica]

17. Tommy Lee Jones was in "One life to Live" Demi Moore was on "General Hospital"

[LyndaG]

18. I liked the SoapNet Channel

Too bad it's gone. Watching old reruns of "Ryan's Hope" on that network helped me thru the eight long Bush/Cheney years.
