All My Children Review

If you stopped watching "All My Children" in recent years because the storyline became too absurd, well it is time to come back and give it another try.  I personally did not stop watching, but read a lot of complaints from long time viewers that the writing had detriorated! 

All My Children has been bringing back a lot of old characters:  Angie and Jessie, (yes the real Angie and Jessie), Jake (it's a new Jake but he's good!), Greenlee - yes, they brought back Rebecca Buddig (one of my favorites) and there are a lot of interesting story lines.....but best thing is that they even have a new Head Writer (Chuck Pratt Jr) who also writes for "Desperate Housewives" and "Ugly Betty", amongst other shows.  They have also brought on some new characters - some are pretty good, some probably will not last anyway.  About a year ago it seemed as though many fans were ready to "abandon ship" if they had not already.

I have been a long time AMC watcher.  Not from the very beginning in 1970, but at least since 1974.  I was there when Angie, Jessie, Jenny and Gregg were originally on the show.  When the show emphasized Palmer Courtland, Cliff and Nina.   Yes, I have stopped watching a few times througout the years, but have found it is always easy to catch up! 

I can't believe there is not an All My Children section here yet.  I hope there are more of you out there!  If nothing else, give it a shot. After being such a long time viewer, the cast feels like family.  I have known the cast on the show longer than many of my friends.  Once you start watching again,  it is really hard to walk away.

I love the new Petey Courtlandt!  He just cracks me up!
