Days of Our Lives
Days of Our Lives is an American soap opera, shown during
the daytime on the NBC television network, created by husband and wife team,
Ted Corday and Betty Corday. Being associated to many countries around the
world, it is one of the longest running scripted television programs, showing
every weekday since November 8, 1965. On April 21, 1975, as the show itself was
becoming increasingly successful, its episodes were expanded from 30 minutes to
60 minutes.
Days of Our Lives is a series set in the fictional town of
Salem, which focuses on two core families, being the Hortons and the Bradys,
although other families have been added to the cast. The series aired its
10,000
th episode on February 21, 2005 and aired its 12,000
th
episode on January 11, 2013 and was given a title of the most daring drama
during the 70s, due to topics being covered which other soaps would not. Days
of Our Lives was close to cancellation during the first three years on the air,
due to its place of the bottom of the Nielsen ratings, however its assent to
top rating was rapid as the season of 1969 finished and in 1980, the soap opera
was placed as the highest rated soap.
During the 2000s, Days of Our Lives started to gain a steady
decrease in viewers, due to vastly altered viewing habits such as cable networks and an introduction to
many popular reality and talk shows.
