A look at the fall season's new and returning primetime soap operas!
Dateline: 09/22/00
Once again we're approaching the debut of new primetime soaps, and the return of old favorites for yet another new fall season. With the loss of old favorites, Beverly Hills 90210 and Party of Five, our grid is less populated than last year's. However, since we look for quality over quantity I think this year will be a stellar season for primetime soaps.
I'm really looking forward to the debut of Titans. This debut should help propel us back into the type of lavish primetime soaps we fell in love with in the 1980's. The other show that's on my must view list is the 1/2 hour drama/comedy Grosse Pointe. From 90210 creator Darren Starr, Grosse Pointe takes us behind the scenes of a popular (fictional) primetime soap opera. This promises to be a very fun and campy look at the genre.
Below you'll find a day by day grid and links to show information so that you can plan your viewing. This grid includes my best guess at what shows we'll consider to be primetime soaps in the upcoming season.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new season. Please drop by the forum and let us know what you think!
