   I think what amazes me is that they tend to really believe that those    
   characters and those lives are actually real.  That is even more    
   astonishing in that the acting is generally very poor.     
      
   What I find even more interesting is that you only have to watch    
   one show a week.  The Monday show gives a full recap of last week's    
   earth-shaking developments.
