The soap opera has outlived its usefulness, but one cannot guess what would replace it. Perhaps broadcasters should simply auction the space for infomercials, as they would anyway. Or maybe they could start making
local programming, an impossibility as they never met a local show that wasn't a PROFIT CENTER (read, a video police blotter) they ever liked.
And a profound comment from the deanette [sic] of the biz:
I think that to represent life, in all its varieties, one needs various age groups.Much obliged, Agnes Nixon. Try telling that to people who would exterminate everyone over 49.
