"Santa Barbara"
6 February 1999 | by sb-7See all my reviews

"Santa Barbara" was the best soap opera of all, only because it wasn't really a soap opera. The Dobsons were wonderful and "Santa Barbara" is the only soap I could bare to watch and even enjoy it. The acting was always excellent. "Santa Barbara" didn't deserve to get canceled. All other soaps do, but not "Santa Barbara". It should be a primetime show!! Hope there will be reruns, or better yet, please please please get the show making new episodes!!!!
