John Home “When I was out for summer vacation all I wanted to do was watch this soap opera. I gave up half of my summer activities just so 1 wouldn’t miss an episode.” Tracy Tillman “There are some people that believe in these unrealistic shows. People who watch are taking this in a false sense.” Dwayne Graham “My favorite soap opera is, “As the World Turns.” Since I am a male, I feel kind of funny talking about it. But anyway, I like it because it has a lot of action in it.” Maxie Jacobs “My feelings about soap operas are very strong and personal. I think soap operas are highly distasteful and show a poor quality of American Life.” Marty Watkins “My feeling about the soaps are reserved. During the summer I was bored and didn’t have anything to do, so I watched the soaps. But by the time football came around I didn’t have time to watch anymore.” Tavio Ham “Soap operas can be interesting and entertaining pastimes for people who have free time on their hands. However, the soap opera viewers should use moderation in watching these programs to keep themselves from getting “hooked.” Tami Drawdy “My feeling is that soaps are boring and a waste of people’s time. These soaps cause overweight and many other health problems such as laziness.” Benjamin Robinson “I enjoy watching the Guiding Light because the characters in the show have become a part of my family. I share in their problems and in their happiness. Amy Edwards
