There's some ...LOL, I love that Friends clip. <br /><br />There's some really interesting research on soap operas which debates whether or not soap watchers take the show literally or whether they watch it critically. I watched Days all through college and found that it made a great topic of conversation with all sorts of random women I met. Usually I found that they were very critical of the show and would make fun of its more ridiculous excesses (this was during one of the most over-the-top plotlines in Days history where one actress was playing four characters, including one who thought she was impregnated by Elvis Presley). Sort of a love-to-make-fun-of-it pleasure. I feel in some ways the two soap articles didn't give enough credit to watchers who are fully aware of the silliness of what they're watching.Alice Marwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295370401945182558noreply@blogger.com
