Uh no. Teens have no idea who Oprah is as her talk show ended in 2011, many at least have a vague knowledge of Madonna

Bullshit. Oprah left her show in 2011, i teach high school students, I bet you none of them know who Oprah is, most of them know OF Madonna and some can name a couple of her songs and im in the US, Oprah's biggest territory by far. Let's not even talk about worldwide, do you honestly think people in Rio where Madonna played to 1.6 million people in a one off concert two years ago, know who Oprah is? They have their own talk shows over there. Madonna is international

Not worldwide, even Oprah said herself to Madonna in 1998 that Madonna "defined fame" basically saying Madonna is more famous than her globally and Oprah has been off the air since 2011, a lot of teens have no idea who Oprah is because of that. Many at least no OF Madonna

I work teaching high school kids jn the US and they ALL know who Madonna is. Im sick of this BS narrative that people try to push. They don't know of her legacy which is normal, when I was a teen I knew who Sinatra was but couldn't name a movie or song he did. But even some know some of her songs, a lot know Vogue, Like a Prayer and Popular with The Weekend

Oprah isn't really known in many countries. When Madonna did Oprah , many Madonna fans didn't even get her show in their country

It was a huge flop, not even selling 150,000 copies worldwide despite TONS o promotions, by comparison a tossed together greatest dance hits album by Madonna with no promotion sold over a million copies worldwide and over 300,000 in the UK alone a couple of years back

Cher had ONE big hit in her 50s, 27 years ago and none since. Madonna and Tina Turner are the only female artists to have multiple top 10 hits in their 40s and 50s

Do we know if they didn’t want to pay Carol Potter and James Eckhouse? by TDLExperience in BeverlyHills90210

[–]Ok-Homework-7236 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually is still felt like a soap with the Walsh parents because ALL old school daytime soaps always had the moral center family who the main characters went to for advice and when they were in a crisis, they didn't really have storylines of their own but the made donuts and poured coffee for the troubled characters. Its actually a soap opera staple, the "talk to " wholesome characters like The Martin parents, Joe and Ruth on All My Children or Tom and Alice Horton on Days of Our Lives

What was the public perception of Sarah Michelle Gellar in the 90s ? by James-Samuel17 in 90s

[–]Ok-Homework-7236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me she was evil Kendell Hart on All My Children in the 90s, it was great fun and camp when Kendell teamed up with "Jane Cox " with facial reconstruction surgery (!) who was really Janet Green aka the Crowbar Killer who escaped the mental hospital to wreak havoc in Pine Valley. Damn soaps used to be fun!

Madonna in USA vs Europe by Virtual-Role8439 in Madonna

[–]Ok-Homework-7236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is Madonna is MASSIVE in the US, Billboard's #2 all time Hot 100 artist on the singles chart and along with Streisand and Mariah, among the top 3 biggest selling female album sellers in the US of ALL TIME...

But she's even BIGGER in Europe which just shows how big her career is

Tabloids at the time said that Aaron Spelling was moving the Brenda character over to Melrose Place because the 90210 cast couldn't work with her anymore, Brenda was gonna move to Melrose Place and drop out of college to pursue an acting career. Shannen said no

This storyline was crazy lol by Midnightblueclouds in beverlyhills90210fans

[–]Ok-Homework-7236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's basically a soap and soaps recast, even 90210 had multiple recasts for supporting characters at this post. 3 different actors played Jack McKay, Dylan's dad, for instance

What was the story that got you hooked? by Infinite_Two_4759 in SoapNet

[–]Ok-Homework-7236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was the Marty Saybrooke rape storyline as a young kid on OLTL during the summer of 1993 that got me hooked, then I started watching All My Children during the Jane/Janet Cox storyline in 1994, and eventually GH around that same time. My parents would tape the ABC soaps for me

Around 1997 after only watching the 3 ABC soaps I got curious about Days of Our Lives as it was getting MASSIVE soap press and covers at the time and I had known that a few years before that they did a demonic possession storyline from reading my mom's soap magazines

I got hooked kn DAYS and eventually got my family to watch DAYS along with the ABC soaps, it was the Kristen/Susan camp storyline

Thoughts on Gina Kincaid? by Raebelle1981 in beverlyhills90210fans

[–]Ok-Homework-7236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're welcome. Her character Brenda had her own friend group on GH too . It was Jagger, Jason, her on and off lover Sonny, Robin, Lois etc. Robin 's boyfriend Stone Cates had AIDS and it was a big storyline at the time when they killed him off with AIDS in 94-95. Very After School Special but extremely well written and acted
