What was your After School Addiction?
injest:
we would all like to pretend we went out and played or did something productive...but come on. We came home and vegged in front of the TV!!
My favorites were: The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island, I Dream of Jeannie, and Star Trek.
What were yours??

Well I'm older than you Jess but when I was 6 years old I use to rush home every day to watch Dark Shadows with my Mom. It was a Gothic television soap opera that originally aired weekdays on the ABC television network, from June 27, 1966 to April 2, 1971. It set in this creepy old house in this creepy little New England town, Collinwood..with the obligatory creepy Collins family and it was chockablock with vampires, werewolves, time travel, chinese mysticism, catatonia, witches, warlocks and a parallel unverse. We loved it. I had the biggest crush on David Selby who played the tortured hunky werewolf Quintin Collins. The men folk knew to stay out of the house between 3:30 and 4:00 and Mom always took the phone off the hook while it was on. I had a chance to see it in syndication on the Sci-Fi channel a few years ago .... talk about campy :laugh: but it was the best in 1966.
Later when I went home to take care of my Mom when she had cancer she and I watch The Young and the Restless and General Hospital together every day. Those damn soaps suck you in.

The Young and The Restless....hey, there was a rumor that ?Ashley? was a post operative transexual and that is why she was taken off....you hear that too?
argh! I can't remember off hand the people's names...can see them in my head...
*sigh*

Really! Miss Perfect Ashley Abbott! Oh wait you mean the actress right? ;) :-\ Well gee I had not heard that BUT I did always think she looked kind of buff for a girl and she did have a little deeper voice than most women. Unfortunately I have not dropped in on Y&R in a few years now so I am woefully behind on the scoop.

I loved on those soaps how the kids would age overnight but the parents didn't!!
I want to live in one of those towns!
