This show doesn't last long enough

30 minutes feels like it's over shortly after it begins.

It's even SHORTER for those of us who watch it ONLINE and fast forward well...most of the show in 5 minutes.

Back when this show was actually great. I used to say this show is over before it started. But most soaps believe it or not used to only be 30 mins and they got a lot more done.

Ya I know soaps use to be 30 minutes, 15 way way back in the day and YES alot got done faster, gosh I remember the good ol days of B&B when people had their OWN STORYLINE verses ONE or 2 Storylines now where everyone on the show talks about the 1 or 2 storylines over and over again.

Nut...I think that's why the show is still so popular. They give you just enough to keep you wanting to come back the next day. It's not too tedious to watch it.

But can you really say the show is as good as it was years ago?
