Jerry Springer, Soap Operas, and Wrestling.... What do they have in common?

Hey all!

Here are my thoughts on this one:

> and they almost live vicariously through
> the characters...

> And usually you find a character you relate
> to
> in some way....

*****I have been watching "Days of Our Lives" off and on since I was 15....if you do the math, you will know that I have been watching it for more than half my life! Some of the characters are even played by the same actors.

One of the reasons I continue to watch it is simply for the chance to see where the writers are taking the characters as well as the humor factor. Another reason is I feel like I know these people! I think I grew up along with Bo and Hope who are STILL experiencing angst in their relationship!

And no one else seems to notice that Roman Brady is now being played by an actor who used to be Chris Kosichek whose brother Jake was the Salem Strangler....poor Kayla was terrorized by him before she fell in love with Patch and finally left Salem with Kimberly her sister and settled, where was that? Last I knew the actress who played Kayla and the actor who played Patch were on General Hospital, but I have not seen them on any Soap Magazine covers at the grocery store lately.....

> Jerry Springer is a very popular show....

****I refuse to watch this show, its the antithesis of what I am all about. My daughter Bianca watches it occassionally, I think for the "freak" factor. Grosses me out, literally makes me sick to my stomach.

Wrestling? I have no idea. Never saw the attraction in it quite frankly. I know a lot of women watch it as well, those who find the wrestlers attractive. Again, its another thing I just don't understand!

Have a great Thursday everyone!
