Eastenders

The Eastenders is a British soap opera. Set in the east end of London it features a wide cast of characters who act out there daylily lives dealing with one crisis after another. Like any good soap opera there is no end to the unrealistic chaos such as…affairs resulting in illegitimate children, drug abuse, teenage car theft, and co-ownership of a bar with someone you hate and can’t fire. (Yes this is actuality a major plot point)
Normally I would look at soap operas the same way I view a small rock on the ground, It’s just something that’s there, if you ignore it, it won’t bother you. But this one is special, it’s funny!
The story all began when I came home from a hard day at work (ok maybe that’s a lie but I do “work”) I turned on the TV and there it is, Eastenders. I was about to change when one of the characters said something and I could not help but make a smart ass remark about it. Then about 5 min later my smart ass remark came true, this continued though out the show. At this point I was hooked. Now every Monday I sit and MST3K the show to death. It’s hard not to do, for one thing the cast of about 30 people all eat, sleep, work and (hopefully) die in about a 4 block distance from each other. Another thing, there is this pub that some of the characters own, a scenes will take place there at 6:00AM and the place it packed! Living in London must be so depressing that you must – at all hours – be drunk off your ass. Everyone in the show is always in one of about 8 different places. There are 3 houses, 2 bars, 1 car dealership, 1 store, and 1 car repair shop. That’s it, these people never go anywhere else! Of the 30 people I would guess that about 15 of them just don’t have a home, they must go from the bar to the store and back for the rest of there lives.
Sometime if you have nothing better to do you should check it out and make fun of it. It’s on from 8-9:00PM on channel 12. I don’t have to worry about when it might be on in a different city because the only 4 people who look at this site are in the same city. If by some chance one of the millions of other people on the internet finds there way to this page and is bored enough to have read this far please check your local listing for show times and channel.
