Passions: Pro and Con
Dateline 10/21/99

Since Passions' debut last July 5th, viewers have had no qualms sharing with me their thoughts and views on all aspects of the show. This week I've decided to share a sampling of those comments with you. Keep in mind, these comments reflect the thoughts of fans and non-fans alike. These thoughts range from love to hate, but a common thread is the "passion" they show towards this new soap opera. So sit back grab some popcorn and take a gander at the best, and  worst, of my comment collection.
 

PRO


 "I love 'Passions'! I think it's the best show ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I really wasn't in to soap operas before until 'Passions', I tape it every day. So those of you who are complaining about the time GET A FREAKIN' VCR!"

"The best daytime show since Days!"
 
"Your show is really dumb but I like it."

"Simone (Lena Cardwell) is the most beautiful and talented actress to grace the small screen in a long, long time."

"Kay is as sneaky as a snake and I love it!!!!"
 
"Theresa is the funniest on 'Passions'"

"Timmy and Tabitha makes u want to keep watching and see what's going to happen..."

"'Passions' is the BOMB I love NBC. U guys really like (sic.) out for all your viewers, not just the older ones NBC is my #1 channel."
 
"Very original. It is the reason I stay tuned!"
 
"This show is so fake with the evils of darkness but sooooooooo funny that's why I watch it"

"I love the show because I relate to it SO MUCH..."

"I love 'Passions'"

"Passions has bad production values, horrible dialogue, and some of the worst acting I have ever seen (yes, I have seen VIP). But I love it, I am drawn to it. It is so ludicrous, so over-the-top, it's great. They repeat everything a hundred times, each episode is 50% flashbacks, and the plots, I swear, are being made-up as the go along. Basically, it's a show that anyone could write, produce, or star in in their spare time and it is so fun to dissect. There are some hilarious web pages (including NBC's own) and I believe all the viewers get that the show is a joke and we still love it..."

"Once you realize that Passions isn't meant to be taken seriously, it is campy fun. Some of the acting is good, some still stinks, but overall it's a fun show and definitely not the norm for a soap!"
