I thought most soap operas were dead. Having to keep up with the Jones's pretty much had all moms heading for work in the mid to late 70s and pretty much killed the daytime tv viewing.

Looked for info, only 4 remain on air: The Bold and the Beautiful (CBS), Days of Our Lives (NBC), General Hospital (ABC), and The Young and the Restless (CBS). As one might think, ratings are down as the audience is aging out.
