Comments: Why Passions is the best horrible show ever

I may be totally drunk, but you've sold me on this one.

Hey, you guys make fun of me for watching Dark Shadows, but that had basically the same plot.

A chimp who's also a nurse?

Who else is thinking spinoff show? "NurseChimp!"

We need to make some calls about this.

don't you have work? when do you watch this?

I'm a grad student, so I don't have normal work hours. Plus, the pace of the show is so glacial, again even by soap standards, that I can not watch it for two weeks and when I tune back in, it's still the same day as last time. (Seriously, in the quaint town of Harmony they must have 20-day calendar year.) It's also a great thing to watch on the treadmill at the gym.

I actually have no comment. The description of this show has left me completely speechless, except for two words: "Cop Rock."

kfree - I don't know if you're the designated TV blogista, but I expect someone to post something about the new storyline on "Tru Calling" (Scream it with me now - "DUSHKU!!!!"). Jason Priestley as the Grim Reaper? He may not be blue, but it is fantastic. I don't know that the show was ever good, but despite all the points awarded for hotness, I declare that it has officially jumped the shark.

I used to catch this show every now and then - but kind of got lost after Timmy died and the blond who was best friends with Princess Diana got locked up in the cellar praying for Luis to rescue her.

I don't know which is better (worse) - the wacko Passion storylines or the Marlena is Possessed by Satan AGAIN DOOL plotline.

Please keep us apprised. :)

Well, you might be happy to know that Marlena is NOT possessed again, she's just a murderess! I'm tired off that whole plot, though. What I'm really looking forward to seeing is whether Jan succeeds in luring Sean to the cell she built for him, which she calls the "love nest." It's very Marlena in Stefano's birdcage.

"Marlena in Stefano's birdcage" - I'd forgotten all about that! LOL!

But I guess my only question is - Are Bo and Hope still together? Every two years they'll spend three or four months in domestic bliss. But THEN one of them gets kidnapped, gets amnesia, dies, becomes a princess, falls in love with a third party, is tricked into sex, is abducted by aliens, etc.etc.etc. And it's two more years of nonsense before they get together for three-four months of more bliss.

LOL!

How do these soaps stay in business?
