THANK YOU, SOAP OPERA WEEKLY!

Thank you to Soap Opera Weekly for featuring "Soap Opera 451: A Time Capsule of Daytime Drama's Greatest Moments" in their latest issue.

Meanwhile, let's talk Kardashians.

Full disclosure: I have no idea who (what?) a Kardashian is.

All I know is that, ever since "Soap Opera 451: A Time Capsule of Daytime Drama's Greatest Moments" was released in September 2011, it has hovered in the top three best-selling books on Amazon's Television Guides and Reviews list. It's main competition are Will Wheaton's "Memories of the Future" (a really funny episode by episode memoir of "Star Trek: The Next Generation") and a compilation of thoughtful essays on Joss Whedon's cult-hit, "Firefly."

All three books are loving tributes to three beloved, scripted television genres and shows. I can live with this.

What I cannot live with is that, as of this weekend, the #1 slot on the list has been taken over by a book highlighting "Kim Kardashian: In Her Own Words." (It speaks?)

I have written before about the havoc reality TV has wreaked on scripted programming, soaps in particular. And now this insult!

She must be stopped!
