Of course.  Daytime soaps are frivolous, "top-40" entertainment,
while nighttime "continuing episode dramas" are serious literature
on a par with the best of the great authors like Sidney Sheldon
and Harold Robbins. (FOR THOSE WHO LEFT THEIR SARCASM DETECTOR HOME:  :-)
[HAVE I GOT A NEWSGROUP FOR YOU...]

Hey, I watch Hill Street, but I only watch Dynasty to get a peek at
Joan Collins.  My favorite evening soap is, of course, Dukes of
Hazzard ("Can't you see I'm dun fer?"  "Dun fer?  Why that's a word that
Dukes don't know the meaning of!"  [AMONG MANY OTHERS] ).  Of course
Dukes is a soap; it's part of CBS's Friday evening of soaps.

Frankly, I think having a newsgroup for the purpose of posting
summaries (perhaps weekly) of the events on various shows is a
very good idea.  General discussion of TV-related subjects could
continue in net.tv .
