Just a thought-

Coreligionist seems like an awkward way to say “an adherent of the same religion as another person.” via the dictionary on my mac

The first soap opera I remember watching Guiding Light is getting canceled. I am not surprised in the slightest, but it is a sign of the times.  There is a sustained loss of interest in the genre lately due to a few reasons (1) who has time to watch tv in the middle of the day (2) crappy storytelling.  Sure, the storytelling has always been hokey but it has gotten especially bad in the past several years.

For awhile, I contemplated doing a history of social issues on soap operas, and I think there is a lot to it.  However, after a few conference presentations, I decided it wasn’t for me.  Still this is pretty sad…..it feels like the end of an era and the slow downfall of a beloved television genre.
