There have been many soup operas and the longest running one is the UKs Coronation Street, December 1960 to 2016 to date. Some have been truly outstanding and others mediocre and best forgotten. Some of you may have lived in more than one English speaking nation and so seen many different cultural soup operas. So what is your favorite top 3 in preferential order please and what made you keep watching them? Some of them may be forgotten and the list may jog a persons memory. • AUSTRALIA • Autumn Affair (1958) • The Story Of Peter Grey (1961–1962) • Homicide (1964–1977) • Bellbird (1967–1977) • Motel (1968) • Division 4 (1969–1976) • Matlock Police (1971–1975) • Number 96 (1972–1977) • Class of '74 / Class of '75 (1974–1975) • Rush (1974–1976) • The Box (1974–1977) • Until Tomorrow (1975) • Solo One (1976) • The Young Doctors (1976–1982) • The Sullivans (1976–1983) • Glenview High (1977–1978) • The Restless Years (1977–1981) • Cop Shop (1977–1984) • Skyways (1979–1981) • Prisoner (1979–1986) • Sons and Daughters (1981–1987) • A Country Practice (1981–1994) • Taurus Rising (1982) • Starting Out (1983) • Waterloo Station (1983) • Carson's Law (1983–1984) • Return to Eden (1983–1986) • The Flying Doctors / R.F.D.S.
