I can recall watching this during summer vacation when I was a kid. My mother loved it. That was when Lisa was still in high school and hadn't even married Bob yet. Back then, Bob and his brother Don (the lawyer) had a sister named Penny. My mother always said she liked Nancy because, although she was usually found in the kitchen, she also seemed to really pour coffee instead of other shows where it was obvious the cup held nothing. Over the years, I watched Lisa marry just about every man in town and, like Erica Kane on All My Children, age never seemed to be a hindrance to childbirth. I know they say men don't like soap operas, but believe me, you can get hooked on them. In the 70's when I was in college it even became sheik to watch AMC and GH with the whole Luke and Laura thing. I don't know any of the characters on the shows anymore but there was a time when I knew them on The Edge of Night, Guiding Light, Search for Tomorrow, Another World, Days of our Lives. They didn't have any TV judges then, so just soaps and a few game shows to watch back then. Of course things don't change that much: staples are still hospitals and courtrooms, whose baby is it, and the ever-popular coma. You gotta love em.
