  2. I had to do a little math to figure out how often the show aired if they had 4,500 totla shows over 17 years (since 2008) and then it looks like it was five per week – hahah – jst like most soaps here.

    sounds like a good show

  3. Dear Reena,
    It’s intersting to learn that the television in the dining room isn’t just an American tradition carried out in my house. 😉 Fascinating share. If only people would realize how alike we are rather than focusing on our differences, perhaps there would be world peace.
    Shalom,
    Rochelle
