Following the history of these shows tells us much about the changing medium of television, the development of American entertainment and social tastes, and how the two inter-relate. Prime time soap operas have been both followers and leaders of television and cultural trends. This book will be of interest to media scholars, as well as those of us who just enjoy the weekly drama of these ongoing shows. - <p>Reference & Research Book News Author InformationDOUGLAS SNAUFFER is an accomplished scriptwriter and producer whose work has aired on the Sci-Fi Channel.
