the end of soap operas?

in my perusing of blogs on my google reader, i ran across this one.

i was intrigued for a few reasons to learn that soap operas are being cancelled left and right.

here are a few thoughts:
1. i was surprised they were still going and weren't axed before. i mean, seriously, who watches them? i gave up on the over-the-top dramatics as a high schooler. that's right, teenage me was fed up with the antics. (not that i was a drama junkie in any sense of the word)
2. i won't miss them. as the article points out, there are plenty of other (and much better) shows to watch.
3. what purpose did they ever serve?
4. how many times can people die (or appear to die), lose their memory, have affairs, bicker over the silliest things? so petty and annoying...

yes, i'm bitter about soap operas.
no, i'm not sad to see them fall by the wayside.
