Top 10 Greatest Primetime Soap Operas

[@cagladam]

OMG! the O.C is nothing but love💜 and I am still crushing hard on Seth Cohen ❤❤❤

[@rbishop95]

Desperate Housewives was so great. Especially the first six seasons. The time jump worked extremely well, which is hard to do

[@niadavis9875]

Beverly Hills 90210, One Tree Hill and The O.C are my favorites

[@patricknolan7005]

The Co is good

[@LloydxMcfly]

mines too🙋🏽‍♂️in that ordering

[@champdaddyentertainment]

Yesss

[@ListenToyourHeart9898]

I loved when Nathan said this to Haley: THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN ME HALEY and then she says this to him: THANK YOU FOR BEING WORTH IT!!!!!

[@inkeriananas]

I started watching the O.C in 2004 and I don't think I'm ever gonna fall out of love with that show. It's so warm and witty and fun, plus all the drama and thr actors are great.

[@GLBizzie]

True

[@lgnrome]

The dad was cool as hell. I wish I had a dad like Sandy

[@ListenToyourHeart9898]

The O.C, Dawson’s Creek and One Tree Hill they all were so much alike in so many ways they all were about relationships and friendship and heartbreaks and losses and about FAMILY specially and even more too!!!!

[@material___]

I just finished watching falcon Crest. It's truly one of the best soaps and got my dad into it. Angela Channing had alllll the tricks up her sleeve.

[@giuliapicchiotti]

My favourites are : The O.C. , Dawson's Creek and One Tree Hill ;)

[@ListenToyourHeart9898]

Giulia me too in every way

[@ListenToyourHeart9898]

They all were so much alike in so many ways they all were about relationships and friendship and heartbreaks and losses and about FAMILY specially and even more too!!!!

[@raluca8112]

Same

[@nayantarasamtani8865]

Me too

[@personperson2433]

Sameeeeee!

[@sagittarianfirerat7657]

1982 Friday night line up on CBS: Dukes of Hazard, Dallas, & Falcon Crest. I would watch these shows with my mom.

[@CJPDeQueen]

I've never been this early before?! The OC 😍 FINALLY, a list where I have NO problems with anyone in the top 10 🤩

[@chelseacanales8763]

One Tree Hill is the best tv show, for me it was more down to earth and very charismatic

[@neddyconstant5839]

Time 2:45PM Mon 11/5/18 Chelsea 100% agree I love OTH I got to see every episode except the final one. But I did see clips of the final one. Dan Scott was the most evil character on the show.

[@richardpena7153]

Falcon Crest & Knots Landing should be ranked a lot higher. Desperate Housewives was always Knots Landing Lite to me.

[@RajaReign78]

For me it will always be Knots Landing as far as adult soaps go. Teen soaps my era was Dawson’s Creek.

[@melindakinnaird]

My mom loved Falcon Crest. We watched it every Friday night, right after Dallas.

[@sschimel]

Interesting backstory on Knots Landing. It is spoken of as a spinoff of Dallas but was created first. CBS passed but asked for a show about Gary's family. Hence, Dallas. But when Dallas became a smash, CBS changed their mind. And KL wound up staying on the air longer than Dallas did. I still miss KL. And would watch the whole thing again if I could find the whole series streaming.

[@AskMiko]

@Sanford Schimel Dallas and Dynasty are streaming free on Amazon Prime

[@Maidenfan83]

Yeah KL was on the air longer but Dallas actually had more episodes a fact I found interesting

[@ericwatkins2859]

Dallas, dynasty, knots landing are my all time 3 favorite hands down

[@ericmarin2036]

Dang one tree Hill didn't know nothing about the series until last year but, now huge fan here damn that series was good 😊

[@nyc78]

Knots Landing’s final seasons were a lot better than Dallas’s final seasons.

[@Ami-kg2jn]

I'm surprised Gossip Girl isn't on here. But love Dawson's Creek, The O.C., and One Tree Hill.

[@mightybitchy]

Gossip Girl should’ve been on the honorable mentions.

[@msrain1235]

Gossip Girl was a great show!

[@josephgraefe4886]

I totally agree that DALLAS is the number 1 night time soap. However, Dynasty and Knots Landing should switch places. Finally, Falcon Crest should be much higher than ninth place.

[@doloreswallin4381]

Falcon crest is underated.

[@burntpotato1131]

Desperate housewives is my all time fav

[@JMTE27]

Desperate Housewives was a masterpiece. So much more than a soap. It has comedy. Drama. Suspense. Romance. Action. & relatable content. Still on my top 3 shows of all time

[@KitanaiharE]

The OC should be WAY higher. Hold this L

[@DoloresWallin]

I didnt watch melrose or 90210 much when they were on tv but i became a fan of both shows on dvd.

[@Coffeecorner2000]

Dallas, Knots Landing, Dynasty, Falcon Crest and Melrose Place where my favorite prime time soaps, and yes the tune from Dallas is still stuck in my head. 😅🤣🤣

[@doloreswallin4480]

Knots should be first

[@artica7842]

Great list. Though I would move Knots Landing into the top three. Thanks for sharing!

[@leeolsson5271]

Dallas is legendary and unbeatable!!!

[@kershabeaver3312]

Yup

[@GLBizzie]

Knots Landing was better tbh

[@ericwatkins2859]

Dynasty was better but I love Dallas as well

[@ragnarkisten]

I am at the 6th season of Flacon Crest. It is not easily attainable in Europe. So cool, I have never seen this season before!

[@madstayy]

looking back at oth, Haley & Nathan getting married at like 16 after dating for a few months was insane... wtf?!

[@jenmck23]

You can say that if you want but as someone who speaks from real life experience when you know you know! I met husband Jamie on December 7th, 2011 and by the 21st we were together. We were together a total of three days before he proposed and I said yes! Unfortunately we are not together right now but we had five years of marriage and 10 wonderful pets! I understand it is a bit unconventional but I love that a true love story like this exists in TV and probably helped to make OTH my favourite TV show!

[@raluca8112]

Yup

[@GLBizzie]

But that’s what some young teens do

[@jameslee133]

Knots Landing is rated too low. It should be number two, only behind Dallas.

[@MrMusicMan1973]

Knots Landing should be way higher.

[@HnHBlkM]

What about The Colbys??

[@parkhurst5739]

Dynasty will forever be my favorite. Dallas, Falcon Crest and Melrose Place were very good too.

[@MrBJG79]

90210 in front of Knots Landing??? WTH??

[@hshawn00]

Absolutely crazy. The caliber of acting on knots landing would top 90210 cheesy acting and stories any day. Don't get me wrong, I loved 90210 too but they are just in two different leagues

[@Uriy809]

teen drama mixed with dynasty. Sarcastic applause for you🙄😛

[@dianehansen9526]

Excellent list!😊❤

[@fantasyaj6510]

The OC is #1! It was on the thumbnail!

[@alexisgreen-hernandez8604]

Excellent video 📹 👏 Mojo as always thanks 😊 👍 for the video 📹. Some of the soaps I liked were 90210, Melrose Place, and Desperate House Wives, (Dynasty which, I got my name from)and Dallas my mother loved those two. What about Daytime Soaps??

[@personperson2433]

Dawson’s creek was the only soap I actually finished!!!

[@jeffwilson8907]

Falcon Crest deserved to be in the top 5

[@josephgraefe4886]

I totally agree!!

[@victoriarichardson1471]

Party of Five should have gotten a honorable mention. Melrose Place was my obsession. It should have been higher on the list.

[@meagancumming3307]

Victoria Richardson Po5 was fucking awesome. Neve, JLH Scott Wolf and Matthew Fox (lol a wolf and a fox) got their big breaks from this show. I know JLH did well before this show but this was what thrust her into teenage stardom in the mid 90s and made her a househeld name

[@mightybitchy]

I love Party of Five too, but it was more of a family drama than a soap. Plus the acting was really strong.

[@dianascrimger284]

You forgot flamingo road

[@maceyharper2268]

So many great shows in this video. Thanks!

[@castedtoes6224]

SAVANNAH by SPELLING was one of my favorites- he discovered the wickedly deliciously nasty JAMIE LUNER AS PEYTON RICHARDS- Spelling quickly threw her into Melrose Place as SEXY LEXY!

[@aradhyamaiti8661]

Msmojo has good content

[@Mesjoukje]

I started a lot of these shows but I don't think I finished any one of them

[@NickCC23]

The O.C. was kind of a send up of teen dramas.

[@burntpotato1131]

Melrose place is great

[@aangelkaa]

I loved Melrose Place, and i doubt Desperate Housewives is a soap opera

[@sammyhiggs4202]

Party of five should be on this list and I love One Tree Hill, Beverly Hills 90210, and Melrose Place were awesome.

[@mightybitchy]

Sammy Higgs Party of Five was a teen drama. I don’t know if it’s the same though...

[@GLBizzie]

@@mightybitchy But One Tree Hill was not a teen drama? Ok ok bro

[@DoloresWallin]

I am a fan of beverly hills 90210 melrose place and parts of falcon crest knots and peyton place. Would like to see more of dawsons creek the oc and one tree hill.

[@applestix3491]

Krystal Carrington was classy but she wasn't afraid to throw those hands!

[@KadyAz17]

Dawson's Creek only an honorable mention???!!! At least 90210 was on here, it was definitely a major thing culturally.

[@raluca8112]

They did Dawson's creek dirty

[@destinychild4659]

It was ridiculous that they left Dawson´s Creek out!

[@GLBizzie]

And Dawsons Creek had some breakthrough stars!

[@ariohandoyo5973]

i found it yay, guys where to watch Soap operas? I'm an english learner.😊

[@LloydxMcfly]

Beverly Hills 90210, The OC, One Tree Hill, oh & dont sleep on 7th Heaven, great family show

[@Austin-lw2cd]

One Tree Hill, O.C and Desperate Housewives are soap operas? 😮 I swore they were series.

[@samuelosler1994]

One Tree Hill and The OC were considered nighttime soap opera 's, that's the point of this list. Desperate Housewives was serialized like a soap but to me it was more of a dark comedy with soapy serialized stories mixed in

[@DreamiNae101]

Looking at this list the only question running through my head is, "Do you guys know the difference between Primetime Soaps & Daytime Soaps?"

[@christophermartinez9449]

Melrose Place! ❤️

[@martifrey3357]

nothing beats the 80s

[@johnlewinski6359]

DYNASTY #1 WAS ALWAYS BETTER THAN DALLAS IN EVERY WAY

[@Maidenfan83]

Dallas was always my favorite with JR Ewing being my favorite character.

[@brew1234567891]

Fun fact: Bobby Ewing stayed dead on Knots Landing. So is it a dream too? Lol

[@Maidenfan83]

I heard the reason for that was the writers of KL were not consulted beforehand about the plans to bring Bobby back and were upset about it so that's the reason Bobby was still dead on KL

[@Johnno9989]

I think Eastenders should've been mentioned. I know it's so UK, but it's one of the rare soaps I've ever watched and it had some very interesting characters/moments i.e. when Phil Mitchell got shot.

[@candi0826]

You should do best daytime soap operas, best novellas and best Korean or Asian soap operas. They have a big following especially novellas.

[@nayantarasamtani8865]

Desperate housewives 😍🤩

[@deidregardiner6957]

I only watched the OC one or two times. I watched Beverly Hills 90210 and One Tree Hill.

[@roaddjack2404]

of course dynatsy and dallas were number 1&2 these two shows were the heavyweight champions of night time soap operas

[@markfuckerberg325]

Should have added Revenge as well.

[@mightybitchy]

The show was ABC Sunday at its worst. Good concept, bad execution.

[@RosaSchot-ed5hz]

thank you for not including gossip girl on this list!!

[@msfriendsfan4ever788]

Rosa Schot Yearh only season 1 and 2 really stand out, after that it dropped in quality.

[@RosaSchot-ed5hz]

MsFriendsfan4ever i really enjoyed watching the whole show, but sometimes it got too dramatic for me, and what i really just missed about it were happy moments, i feel like we didn't get a lot of them on the show

[@melindakinnaird]

And Peyton Place should be higher on the list. It's practically the grandmother of all prime time soaps.

[@რევაზდოლიძე]

O.C ❤️

[@rbishop95]

lmao how does MsMojo have One Tree Hill ahead of the O.C.?

[@cristianennas5535]

Beverly Hills, 90210

[@barebackslut600]

The Haves and the Have Nots should have been mentioned

[@tsxtina2919]

I mean Game of Thrones and True Blood are medieval and southern gothic vampire soap operas

[@NK-uu2vt]

don't know about true blood but got is not a soap opera

[@tsxtina2919]

@@NK-uu2vt it's nothing but a fucking medieval fantasy soap opera. HEFUCKINGLLO. Are you watching a diffrent show?

[@arielfangirlmendez]

When are gonna do the top ten the oc characters?

[@elisarosario975]

I didn't even think half of these shows were soap operas. I just that they were just regular old drama shows. Then again, the difference between regular old drama and melodrama is that the former doesn't get too extreme or cheesy they way melodramas do.

[@hollyludlow9339]

My mum liked watching Dallas have to watch couple of these

Please do a video of the Top Ten Girlfights on soap operas, if you haven't already.

[@freddyspurscowboys6379]

Damn the oc ranked low. 1st season it was an all time great show but third season all time horrible season.

[@doloreswallin4381]

Hated Dallas Falcon Crest was never good

[@Jah_LEASE_yah]

teen soap operas should be on a separate list...and Dawson's Creek should be number one.

[@destinychild4659]

Totally. Dawson´s Creek is so unique.

[@mightybitchy]

I think this genre is confusing. What is a soap actually? To me all dramas are. So I think it should be put on teen drama list instead.

[@loriellajames6978]

Dawson’s Creek was boring and James Van Der Beek looked a lot older than his costars.

[@samuelosler1994]

@@mightybitchy a soap is a drama with continuing stories that focuses on the personal lives of it's characters and their lives and loves. Basically what daytime soaps used to do, it relies on a serialized story telling method and cliffhangers on occasion. You also can't watch random episodes out of order like you could on a regular drama series or a sitcom as nighttime soapa have intracatly plotted continuing stories from episode to episode. Hope this helps

[@tudorjason]

You named many shows that I watched religiously on, mainly in the 90s and 2000s. Very relatabout.

[@ayyydubbs2]

Melrose place and Dawson’s creek are the best!

[@braddingle5845]

How MP can be below Knot's landing is beyond me.
