World’s longest running soap ends

September 19, 2009

The world’s longest running soap opera has ended after over 15 700 episodes.From this BBC article:

The world’s longest running soap opera has been screened for the last time, having been on air in the US for more than 70 years.

The show won dozens of awards in its seven-decade span and ran up more 15,700 episodes, each ending in a cliffhanger.

So, what will they put in its place? Another example of mind numbing filler of contemporary TV, the Let’s Make a Deal game show.
