Daytime Television
Daytime television is filled with game and contest shows and daily dramatic serials, called Soap Operas because they are sponsored by soap and household products companies (some are even produced by these companies). Some soap operas have been on the air more than thirty years. Soap operas are filled with drama: murders, trials, abortions, treachery, mistaken identity, strange diseases and everything else horrible that can possibly happen to a group of human beings. They can be addictive. They are not realistic depictions of American life. Next Section: Late Afternoon Television American Culture: Chapter Home
