TV Guide Magazine Covers Celebrate Daytime Soap Operas - Daytime Confidential

Poor old Leester–missed Valentine’s Day. Well, let’s bring it back! Courtesy of Quokka Uniiversity.

2 p.m.  Ch. 03   THEY’VE GOT MY GOAT!–Melodrama (kung-fu added)

You train your goat, Osbert. to do all these spectacular tricks… And then the Iron Boat Clan comes along and kidnaps him! Ma-Foo Yi: Soupy Sales. Wan Hung Lo: Dick Van Dyke. Tan Bu-Ting: Carol Burnett.

Ch. 15  BLUBBERY STATE VS SCOTLAND YARD–Sports

The Blubbery State squad had better be careful: Scotland Yard arrests the teams that oppose them. They’re not really college football players, you see. Coach Fundee picked them up in Indonesia somewhere. Play-by-Play: Rosie Ruction.

2:30 P.M.  Ch. 21  WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!–Grimly disturbing melodrama. Yves Montand starts as a Frenchman who is really bent out of shape by this development! Also featuring Rosemary De Camp as the Borax Lady.

Ch. 49  THE LIFE AND OPINIONS OF THE OTHER TRISTRAM SHANDY WHO WAS NOT A GENTLEMAN– Archaic soap opera

Yes, there were two Tristram Shandys, and one of them (Charles Bronson) wasn’t very nice! Tonight: The good Tristram Shandy (Al Packa) invents a riding mower–only to have it stolen by the hurdy-gurdy man (Dan Rather). Mrs. Bluefish: (Irene Ryan)

Well, how do you like those apples?

  1. Considering the state of the UK today, the Scotland Yard show is almost too close to the truth. (Or is supposed to be a documentary?) 🙂

    Hey, Byron, nice bicycle! (Wink, wink.)

  2. THEY’VE GOT MY GOAT!–Melodrama (kung-fu added) – this one sounds great with a spectacular line up of stars. BLUBBERY STATE VS SCOTLAND YARD–Sports – this one sounds as bad as the Super Bowl earlier this month – nobody likes a rigged game. WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! – I was disappointed in this title because I thought it was going to be about the Covid-19 vaccine disaster. The LIFE AND OPINIONS OF THE OTHER TRISTRAM SHANDY WHO WAS NOT A GENTLEMAN– Archaic soap opera – it looks to me like Lawrence Sterne may have a lawsuit on his hands with this rip off of a soap opera. I will be praying for you and your university, Byron, I know how you run things on a shoestring.
