Daytime soap opera fans. With ADD.

So far, after three episodes, we've managed to establish that:

1. New character facets can be added or removed at any time for no particular reason.
2. Characters can added or removed at any time for no particular reason.
3. Good leads to evil.
4. Evil leads to good, which then leads to evil.
5. Every single person will, given a little more time, be secretly plotting to remove all of the others.
6. The odds of their all hooking up with each other anyway are still very high.
7. Plots are optional.
8. There are no rules.

Even the opening credits are starting to point that way. Lots of sunshine, brief glimpses of attractive people, bad theme song, plus the 'and introducing' bit. We're not looking at a twist on a current reality format, we've got the return of an old one: the primetime weekly soap.

How long has it been since one of those got past its first season? Two years? Five? Ten...?

(I wasn't around for PHo. Was it this bad?)
