I thought that some of you might be interested in this review from BC (Blogcritics Magazine). The article focuses on the soap opera, Guiding Light, which has now teamed up with Marvel comics to create a super hero for the show. I caught the show today and the movie “Sin City” instantly came to mind. The story begins with Harley Davidson Cooper - may be more names now- being electrocuted, causing an abundance of electricity to flow through her veins. She plays a cop on the show, but now with her new super powers she rivals Robo cop. After they placed her in a skimpy, silver, teeny-weeny outfit I had to shut the show off. It was a bit goofy for me, but I do have to say that some of the graphics were pretty impressive. As the article discusses, many of the themes in comic strips are racy enough to be paired with tawdry storylines of the soap operas.
It seems that Radical change is not only being introduced to young adults, but to the housewives of America as well. I personally thought that the show was a bit off the wall (corny), but I’m interested to see what others think. Also, I thought that this online magazine, "Blogcritics" was pretty interesting as well. I’ll be interested to see what else they have to offer the public.

I shouldn't admit this, but I used to watch Guiding Light in High School. James may be interested to know that Reba, one of the main characters, was cloned at one point. Her clone was then given a rapid aging formula so that they were the same age. Definitely corny. I haven't seen the show in years, but apparently, they're still up their old weirdness...
Chrissy,
I'm not sure, but I think we all need to do more constructive things with our time. I'm probably wrong.
When I was fourteen, I spent six weeks in Virginia, with my pregnant sister. While she was at work, I taped Young and the Restless and Bold & the Beautiful. And I watched them. Do not tell anyone. When I run for president, you can blackmail me.
Marvel's infiltration into Soaps isnt what I would call marvelous. Then again, I think Soaps need improvement.
I'm going to tell Matt about it, in case he didn't read your blog. But I'm sure he, as an avid Soap watcher, already knows.
Have you seen The Island?
Yes, it is about cloning. However, people never come into contact with their clones; the clones are "raised" in captivity until their body parts are needed to repair the "originals."
I found it to be entertaining, so I guess it is worth watching.
