[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 186870, member: 33"] [U]Match 1[/U] - I was an occasional viewer of [I]Sons and Daughters[/I] back in the 1980s when I got home from school early and always found it compelling. It was superbly written, well acted and always managed to end every episode on a gripping cliffhanger. It wasn't a cosy afternoon soap, bordering on incest storyline and unusually for a soap, two of the main characters were ex-prostitutes and they were always portrayed sympathetically. For a relatively low budget show it was second to none but it's up against a juggernaut that is one of my all time favourite shows. The final seasons of [I]Dallas [/I]brings the show down overall but the first few seasons were so thrilling that it compensates for the dire final years so my vote goes for [B]Dallas[/B]. [U]Match 2[/U] - I'm not really familiar with either of these shows other than watching a handful of [I]Neighbours [/I]many years ago and wasn't particularly impressed. However, I can't deny its appeal as shown by its longevity which gives it the edge over [I]Howards' Way, a show [/I]of which I know nothing other than that which I read on this forum during this World Cup. My vote goes to [B]Neighbours[/B]. [/QUOTE]
