You guys have no idea how lucky you are not to live in australia. At 6:30pm every weeknight we get 'Neighbours', and at 7pm we get 'Home & Away'. These are terrible local soaps that mass produce singers and wannabe singers. For some reason these shows are shown in many places around the world. Not even god knows why.

Edited to add, these shows have been running for a couple of decades. Unbelievable.

I've seen a few episodes of "Neighbours". It's strangely addicting. Kinda like "Eastenders". Those shows are 10 times better than any U.S. soap opera. Maybe it's just the strange foreign element.

There are lots of show that jumped the shark, but had some redeeming value at some point. So my vote goes to "Mama's Family". That character was so vile on "The Carol Burnett Show" that I stopped watching that. Then they gave her an entire series. Someone in Hollywood has to die for that decision!
