Soaps and Mini Series

If it seems like Days of Our Lives has been on forever, that’s because it has. I started watching at my babysitters house when I was 5 (it had already been on air since my mother was about 10) and 30 years later Bo and Hope are still trying to get it together. Only on TV! Here we include soaps, daytime TV, news and sports series that ran through the 80s and early 90s regardless of original air date.
