GENERAL HOSPITAL: NIGHT SHIFT Pulls a Stunner

Marlena De Lacroix blogs: "Last night I unexpectedly saw the best soap opera scenes of the year. They were in, of all places, GENERAL HOSPITAL: NIGHT SHIFT! They came from the heart and the head.

Two "duds" debut tonight including KNIGHT RIDER
Jonathan Storm of the Philadelphia Inquirer opines: "Because the show is filled with sexy chicks and speedy cars, it's not hard to imagine hordes of college boys in the common room cracking up over [Justin Bruening's] KNIGHT RIDER, a remake that stays true to the awfulness of the original. It's so bad it's good, in a bad way. And if you think that sentence makes no sense, wait till you see KNIGHT RIDER.

The impact of NOOR
"The show may have ended but the fallout from ‘Noor’ has changed many peoples’ lives forever.

There have also been reports of spouses becoming disenchanted with each other and some even have gone as far as filing for divorce on the criteria that either spouse was not as amazing and beautiful as Mohannad or Noor."
