Being the big old soap opera obsesser that I am, I've come up with a number of different SOAPnet-inspired schedules. One is based completely on ABC's soaps (current episodes of the current soaps in primetime, classic episodes of the current shows right before primetime, all of the canceled stuff throughout daytime), CBS's soaps (basically the same format), NBC's soaps (same format), primetime soaps (with mostly 80s and 90s shows, also more recent stuff and of course "Peyton Place"), teen dramas (1980s-present), and even UK soaps (current episodes, classic episodes, and canceled shows).

This first one is really a basic one that doesn't change too much...it has all of the shows of the previous schedule (before MP and DAL were canned), but I changed it slightly to accomodate some shows.
