LOVE OF LIFE (CBS; 1/23/1953)

[@AllenJones-w3p]

I know that LOL began life as a 15-minute soap. I get the feeling that the early episodes focused more on commercials than the drama.

[@markryaniversen]

Thats what soap operas were made for. The shows were originally fillers in between commercials. The soaps were devised by advertising agencies for the soap products. They thought stories would grab attention to women so they could then see the commercials.
