  As the World Turns Premieres (1956)Soap operas began in the early 1930s as 15-minute radio episodes and continued in that format when they began appearing on TV in the early 1950s. As the World Turns premiered as the first half-hour TV soap. The show, which primarily focused on two professional families in the fictional town of Oakdale, Illinois, ran for 54 years and aired nearly 14,000 episodes. For 20 of those years, it was most-watched daytime drama in the US. What interrupted a live broadcast of the show in 1963? More... Discuss |

How about the 31st??
Enjoy your break ;)
Just a head's up that I've been having internet problems (again) It was down all morning and just came back up and I thought I'd better leave a message just in case I get knocked off again.
They first told me to do all the usual stuff...reboot the modem and all that and when that didn't work, they ran a "test" that said the problem was on my end. I could ping and get a return, so I knew there was a path to the Internet, so I knew the problem wasn't on my end. I called again for the third time and got a helpful guy in the Philippines that spoke better English than the last two...hell, he spoke better English than me.
Anyway, if something happens, I don't play the quiz or post to Facebook, etc. it's not because I'm dead or too sick to get online...no, it's my new faster Internet...."faster" when it's on, that is.
