"Staying Tuned: Contemporary Soap Opera Criticism" examines
serials. Broadcast first in 1926 on radio and since 1956 on
television Monday through Friday 52 weeks a year, soap operas
provide a clear promise to continue for as long as mass medicated
entertainment exists. Over the last sixty years, billions have
happily suffered along with the gallant men and women of the
afternoon.
A growing body of scholarly literature exists now to provide
insights and suggest answers to the question of why so many
continually return to the routine tragedies of daytime drama. Each
of our chapters explores an aspect of soap opera which contributes
to the endurance of the genre.
