Descripción
Sumario:The soap opera, one of US television's longest-running and most influential formats, is on the brink. Declining ratings have been attributed to an increasing number of women working outside the home and to an intensifying competition for viewers' attention from cable and the Internet. Yet, soaps' influence has expanded, with serial narratives becoming commonplace on most primetime TV programmes. This book looks at the causes of their dwindling popularity, describes their impact on TV and new media culture, and gleans lessons from their complex history for 21st century media industries.
