    Please dont cancel AMC I have watched it for 40 years and it has become a staple of my life. No other show in prime time or reality show comes close to being as good as AMC It is the best written and acted show on TV all networks included. Please will some other network pickup this show I dont care when or what channel its on.I look forward to this show every day!

    I love all my children. At times I feel like the show doesn't get as much credit as it deserves. I have been watching this show since I was a little girl and now that I'm grown, I still love the show. I must admit that for a while the show was starting to become boring, but now with some new writers, its definitely picked up. The new additons to the show. . .Angie and Jessie Hubbard, Franklin and Cassandra, the new Colby Chandler and Jake Martin. .. WONDERFUL!!! They make the show even better. This show is a must see. You will be hooked!
  • Alicia Minshew (Kendall) needs a new writer for her character.

    "Good"
    It seems that for the past two weeks her script has remained the same and I can only imagine how challenging it must be for her to repeat the same thing, and try to make it interesting. I am so happy I TiVO it so I can fast forward whenever she opens her mouth. Come on, writers, don't treat your viewers like morons! That's why nobody got nominated for an Emmy this past year from AMC, because the storylines are good, but the interaction between characters is too unbelieveable. Zach would've pushed Kendall down a flight of stairs by now!
  • summary how about the characters are about the most attractive on tv

    one of the best soap operas on t v . i have watched this since almost the beginning and try to make sure that i am home or have someone tape for me on a daily basis. it's amazing how susa nlucci has stayed so attractive over the years. bringing back angie and jessie was a good idea i only wish that they could bring back dixie on a permanent basis. matter of fact how about maria and all that family too. a writer i am not and making me do 100 words is difficult i do how ever say keep up the good work. possibly you can start a nerw trend and have everyone be happy for awhile see how that works out
  • One of the most beloved soaps on daytime TV.

    All My Children focused on the lives and loves of many residents of the fictional town of Pine Valley, Pennsylvania. Since the show premiered on January 5, 1970, AMC has been going through a lot of changes over the years. But one character who haven't been changed is Erica Kane, played by the one and only Susan Lucci. Not only Erica was one of daytime TV's greatest leading ladies, but truly a legend. The soap has launched the careers of today's brightest stars, from Sarah Michelle Gellar to Kelly Ripa to Josh Duhamel, to name a few. Let's all hope a new generation of fans will likely to carry on All My Children's legacy.
  • Very warm harted. Susan Lucci is a very find actress. One of my all time episode is of Erica & Jackson wedding in florida. I think the soap is doing well. Keep on bring those storylines on.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The soap "All My Children" Is excellent. I record it watch it every day. The story lines are so heart warming. I'm very excited about the storyline of Ryan, Annie & Emma. The little girl playing Emma (Lucy Merriam) is a very good actress) I'm so excited for Tad & Dixie on finally reunited with their long lost daughter, Kate. I can't wait to see how it all unfolds. All the little children that play on there (Miranda, little Adam (A) & Spike are so good and so cute. Their parents must be very excited for them. I love the holidays shows the best. Tad is going to be reunited with Kate very soon! Even by Christmas!! Maricles do happen. This will be the best for Tad! Kate is really Kathy....! YES, YES, YES!!!!!!

    This show is so much fun, although it is sometimes hard to follow. It is not realistic, but that is kind of its appeal. It is crazy and screwed up, but that is the main reason it is so good. It is interesting and compelling, and it always leaves you wanting more. It is the type of show that you can leave for a while and come back and quickly catch up on what you missed. The episodes are hit or miss, but the crazy antics and wild story lines always keep interest and bring in the viewers. It is a fun guilty pleasure to watch from time to time.

    Because of this show, my mom sits in front of the television watching this and all the episodes that she taped of this, and it is ruining her brain! Too much TV kills brain cells and that's what is happening to my poor mother!!! And worse of all, I can never watch TV anymore because She Is Always Watching This! You know what else is weird? I watched how the actors act in this show and it is So Ridiculously Corny!!! How can my dear mother and all other fans watch this show? Seriously. Somebody please help my poor poor mother and help me get this show off the air!

    Um, how we are going to do that is another story... Dang it!

  • A truly classic soap that continues to be true to the times.

    9.5
    "Superb"
    I began to watch this soap almost five years ago, and although there has been several changes that I would considered to be misguided, it is still a pleasure to watch the residents of Pine Valley. What began as a way to direct social issues of time, has become an escape to another world that, still can bring saddness and sorrow to its characters. The fact that some of its story lines are far fetched and impossible, is what makes watching half the fun, watching everyday to see romance, happiness, and even tragedy makes it worth it. Although I hope to see the writing improve and advance some of the secondary characters, I still watch, and hope that this will never end.
  • Greenlee comes back! YEA!???.....NO!!!

    I am so disappointed with the new Greenlee. She cannot act, she makes these ugly facial expressions. I really miss the first Greenlee. she was so pretty. How can they replace her with that? Her acting is not convincing. Please feel free to respond to my comment anyone, regardless if you agree with me or not.
  • All my children, one of the greatest soaps of all times.

    "Perfect"
    All my children is one of my personal favorites. I have been watching this show since I was at least 12 yrs. old. Now I'm 27 yrs. old. One of the reasons it's my favorite is it gets you away from your own problems and into someone else's. The situations are mostly like real life and shows you how to deal with it if your in the same situation. Some of my favorite characters are Bianca, Tad, Krystal, and Zach just to name a few. Their lives are interesting and when you think everything is o.k it blows up in your face again. So my conclusion is the soap is not real life but if it makes your problems disappear for an hour or more power to it
  • Set in Pine Valley.

    I just started watching All My Children, and I'm absolutely loving it. My decision to start watching All My Children came on the heels of the announcement that Passions has been canceled. Over the years, I have watched episodes of All My Children here and there, and I have liked it. Right now I'm not watching All My Children every day because I don't have the time to watch two soap operas every day. I'm just trying to watch it as often as I can so I familiarize myself with the show. Once Passions goes off the air, I will start watching All My Children every day. Passions used to be my favorite soap opera, but in recent weeks, I have started to see why it has been canceled. Now I'm simply watching Passions out of the loyalty since I've watched the show for so many years. I'm not really enjoying it anymore, but when I'm watching All My Children, I am enjoying it. It's very good. Passions is known for not being your typical soap opera, and when I've watched other soap operas I have usually found myself bored by them. That's not the case with All My Children. In my opinion, All My Children is the best "normal" soap opera on TV. All of characters are great, especially Erica, Bianca, Josh, Babe, J.R., Jonathan, Zach, Ryan and Krystal. The story lines are also great. All in all, All My Children is a great show, and I'm really glad that I started watching it.
  • love it but somethings need to be left alone. everyone needs to find something new in their lives.

    "Superb"
    There are so many weird things on the show now that are pushing it down the hole. Babe is a tramp, love her or hate her, she's still a tramp. Let her finally settle down with Josh or JR or someone cause i'm tired of her going back and forth. hello? other people live in pine valley too who would like a life to be noticed every once in a while. I personally found Zarf very interesting at the beginning but as soon as they said he was a woman in a man's body who loves women that took it a step too far. I mean come on! I know people live like this in the real world but the drama of it is too much. Get surgery and get on with ur life. I know soaps are all drama and I love drama but these story lines are going way over board. Another thing that pushed me over the edge was killing Dixie out of the show. I mean how many more hits can JR and Tad take. No Dixie, no Kate and then to hide Babe. If i was JR i would tell everyone to back off then drink till i was too wasted to remember my own name. I mean he's only human. No one deserves that much pain in such a short time.



    PS. Jonathan needs to move on with his life. I know it was his beloved sister but he does have a brother who lost her too and he's doing fine. Its time to stop grieving and to start remembering all the good times and go play with your niece and nephew.

    I am so turned off with All My Children. This is the only soap opera I've ever watched (for about twenty years mind you) and I see myself cutting the umbilical cord soon. How many times is JR going to turn on Babe? How many times is Babe going to run away with his son? When will someone smack the ish out of Erica? OMG, I swear I fast forward any scene thats she's in. Then they have the audacity to kill Dixie off! Before she even finds her daughter. Oh, who by the way is psychic! How does that little girl know Tad is her dad? We barely see him there. Why wouldn't she think Jamie was her father.... you know, being that's he's sleepy with her new "mother". I'm going to give up All My Children for a month. Lets see what I miss.
  • This show is horrible and I would NEVER recomend it to anyone. I would say to just change the channel and watch something else as I'm sure this show will only disappoint you in the long run!

    "Abysmal"
    I was a fan of All My Children for over 15 years until the show decided that as a fan, I didn't matter. The show lured actress Cady McClain back to the show and fans, including myself, were ecstatic! Cady and her character of Dixie Cooney Martin were only on the show for a year when the powers that be decided to get rid of her and kill her character (The head writer said that she couldn't think of anything else to write for her...seems to me that should mean that the head writer goes, not the actress). Normally, I wouldn't be too upset...but the fact that All My Children and ABC advertised that there would be a reunion of Tad and Dixie and that they would find their daughter and NONE of that happened made me angry. This show tends to promote that something will happen ONLY to gain ratings. They, as a show, DO NOT care about their fans...so why should I, as a fan, care about them? I would recomend you find something else to watch during this time as I'm sure this show will only disappoint you...as it has me time and time again.



    This show also has a tendancy to do EXTREMELY un-realistic story lines (I know this is a soap...but even a soap should have a limit!). Bottom line is that this show doesn't care about its audience and therefore I DO NOT recomend this show to anyone!

    I remember back in my dawson's creek days when i was "destined" to marry justin timberlake. Mother was always a fan of All my children. Holiday mornings (the sick, summer, and xmas break days) mom would be in the family room asking for no interupptions while her "stories" were on. I thought my mom was slipping away fast, my mom is very young and of course, "soaps are for OLD people" i use to say. After graduating in 2004, i was working at nights still with nothing to do during the days and mom finally got me addicted to it. At the time, it was in the middle of Babe Chandler stealing Bianca's baby. Really good stuff. I am now a fan of it, and Thanks to the person who invented DVR.

    I will always be a tried and true fan of AMC. I have watched since I was just a baby (because of my mom), and I hope my daughter will follow our footsteps. AMC has had it's ups and downs but I will always watch. Yes, thank God for DVR sometimes with the really corny stuff, but it's what makes soaps what they are.....good indulgence!! I know a lot of people out there don't like Babe, but I must say she is better to watch than Kendall or Ryan(Mr. Self Righteous). Listening to the both of them complain all the time and think they are always right makes me want to vomit.
  • The show has gone down hill

    "Terrible"
    I've been a fan since 1980, but now I quit. The writers ruined my favorite show! The show has been going down the past couple of years. It became the BAbe and Ryan show and I really never forgave Babe. But I continued to watch because there were still some favorits. But the last straw for me was killing Dixie, especially before she got to be reunited with Tad and Kate.



    I really don't know why this has to be 100 words. I have nothing more to say. I am done with a show that I have watched for more than half my life.

    All My Children is a good soap opera in my opinion, but it does tend to get boring from time to time. I started watching it a few years ago. My sister and I watch it after school on our dvr. Some characters are more interesting than others and some of them make you want to throw things at the tv set. Overall, all my children is a good show. I would encourage everyone to watch one episode and you will get hooked on it just like I did. All My Children is a great soap with dramatic, sad, and funny storylines.
  • The show that introduced Erica Kane and her many husbands.

    "Great"
    This show was good but, but then it started to take a downfall. Now its pretty good, Zarf and the killings. But other than that its pretty good. It should come up with something good and original instead the constant rape cases and more and more kids for Erica. I like it and the characters and all its just the writers should do some serious brain storming. If they do they could come up with something good and get their viewers back. I'm not going any where but some people that I know have stopped watching it because of their redundant storylines.
  • That is my feeling anymore when I tune into to All My Children. I use to love this show now I am wondering if it will ever get back it's heart and soul.

    I am sick of they have ruined some of my favorite charecters. Adam-- please dump Krystal and get back to your bad self.

    Krystal- please leave town and take Babe with you.

    Ryan- get off your highhorse and stop bossing and bullying everyone around.

    Jr- kick Babe to the curb for good and get your sone away from him.

    Erica- stop messing with jeff and beg jackson to take you back

    Kendall- tell Ryan to take a flying leap into a tank of sharks

    Zack-the man of mystery stuff id getting old. Take Cambius away from Ryan for badtalking your wife.

    Myrtal- where are you,Palmer,opal,Marion,Dr.Joe and Stuart hiding

    David- please get him back

    Jeff- go back to Africa

    The wildwind mansion-I love the group but it is pretty sick for Johnaton to move in there and not even mention hey this belongs to the guy I killed.

    Bianca- please get some clothes that are not black



    Amc writers: please no more sick baby stories. no more unabortions, no more who's the Daddy stories



    Please give us the heart this show had. Remember the families and together time. Remember when stories were told that impacted the family and we got to see how. Now we see the story but it's like it never happened next week. It's like watching a continual sitcom instead of a soap.

    Ok..I LOVE to watch soaps. But sometimes I just get so mad! I like the twists and turns that soaps have but I don't like it when they drag things for so long. Some things I don't like about this soap: I don't think Ryan should have "died'. I know he'll come back but my god! Just let him and Greenlee be happy! Settle down with a baby for a little bit. Another thing...I was so happy they brought Dixie back but I was mad when I found out it wasn't the real Dixie. She was on of my old favorites that they shouldn't have even pulled off! But I do think that Sam and Lily are so cute!!

    I have been watching All MY Children for 31 years.I have never written to a show, or a review ever.But, I really think you need some help.

    I will tell you what is missing. Humor & commitment.there is too much

    Pain and hurt, it should not be the focus.

    Tad & Dixie used to make me laugh in the old days,and it always caught me happily off guard. Ruth and Joe were always stable. Who do you go to now on AMC for stability? There isn\'t anyone. I tought it was going to be Erica and Jackson. (they are the right age). Hurt & pain should not always be the focus, part of life but not all of it. that pure love that Lilly had, yeah. remember your audience. I know what your thinking . i just want mushy. no, just some interseting story and positive energy. Oh yeah I love Opel. She needs to stay the same, with the big jewelery and her diferentness. P.S. I want Zack and Kendal to be happy too. Too much negitage energy going on the show right now.

    Nothing is good.
  • I've been watching AMC since the day it first started.

    "Superb"
    I used to go home for lunch and started watching All My Children the day it first started. I’ve been watching ever since. VCRs and Tivo have made that possible. I’ve seen so many great actors and characterizations and some have gone on to night-time series (Josh Duhamel and Eva LaRue for example). I’ve watched Erica through the years (can’t say grow) and she has always stuck to “type”. She’ll never get a marriage right. Kendall will probably follow in her footsteps. I’ve always enjoyed Susan Lucci and would really like to see her image a bit more age-appropriate. She will still be glamorous without the too-heavy eye makeup and the too-young and revealing clothes. What are these women doing in sleeveless clothes in winter anyway? Love the clothes, by the way.



    Zach has been a real find and I certainly hope they can keep him on the show. Tad is terrific. He’s one character that did change his spots over the years and I love it when they give him some humor because he can really deliver. So can Simone but I hear she’s leaving. How unfortunate. The new younger characters like Colby are just annoying. Not writing storylines for Brooke is a big mistake as she’s been such an asset to the show for so many years. Having Bianca back is great as she is a very fine actress. I love Myrtle. We count on her for reality checks.



    And now Zarf! What are they thinking? Bringing controversial material to the show is fine and has been well done in the past, but this character is just ridiculous. It isn’t even funny.



    There have been so many storylines and characters that have kept me watching all these years. I don’t know how these actors deliver a quality show day after day but I congratulate them. Any show that can keep me tied for 36+ years (and my daughter watches) really has the right writers and actors.
  • I thought this was a very good epsoide today. It was very well put.

    I thought the show today was very tense today. You never knew what was going to happen today especially with Josh, Adam, and especially with David. He has gotten a real bad attitude lately. He needs a big attitude ajustment. Someone

    needs to hang him up by his toes. I like the way that Adam gets to the point of what he wants. But it takes Krystal to put him in his place. No one has been able to do that before. None of his wife's has been able to do that. I really think that he loves Krystal. He has changed to a certain point, but he still can be mean when he wants to be.

    Ok, I am mad, and not just a little mad, I am steaming mad, so mad that I could spit nails. What is going on at AMC? Have I heard this correctly, and Julia Barr has decided not to renew her contract? First of all, probably a smart move on her part. However, it is a stupid move on AMC’s part to let her go. Well, she was seriously underused. What a shame that is, to take a veteran actress, on a show that has hardly any recognizable faces tied to any core families, and trash her by not using her. It is horrid what Megan McTavish has done to this show. Why is it that us, as the viewers are the only ones that see this? Granted there are less viewers “seeing” the show than there ever was, but shouldn’t that be a sign?



    Next, there is news that Terri Ivens has either been let go, or has decided to not renew her contract altogether. Once again, another wonderful actress who was undeniably underused. Simone has merely been used a “window dressing” at Fusion ever since Ethan (played by the amazing James Scott) met his untimely demise. Hopefully they write Simone out with the dignity she deserves, maybe, she should join Mia in San Francisco at Fusion’s office there???



    Why are there so many Veteran and talented actors leaving this show? Could it be that the lack of talent seen in the “newbies” is disgusting them to the point of no return? I am about at that point myself. Could it be the showcasing of certain characters that the fans are literally sick and tired of seeing on our screen? I think it is alack of screen time in lieu of the newbies that is driving them away. If that is the case, how long will it be before we see the demise or otherwise phasing out of characters such as Jackson Montgomery? Palmer Cortlandt? Myrtle Fargate? Joe Martin? Or heaven’s forbid Erica Kane? We have already seen the phasing out of Reggie Montgomery, although he was not a veteran character, he was a very talented young actor, and seemed to be loved by fans. Should have known they were phasing him out when he became nothing more than a babysitter to Lily. I truly hope that the writers do not think that Sean Montgomery will hold the same endearing place in our hearts, because, to be quite honest, I do not foresee that ever happening with fish-face Sean.

  • I love this show.

    10
    "Perfect"
    This is a seriously funny show, but it touches on new or long running issues. One of the reasons people love it so much is that they can relate. But, I feel that some of the characters that don't have to do with main plot can still be around to cause conflict or be background eye candy. Either way is good. Erica Kane is infamous for her plots and MANY marriages. Former husband Jeff Martin, Tad's brother, is starting to catch the eye of our leading lady once again with the understanding touch he's adding to the relationship with newly found son Josh Madden. Josh doesn't like Erica or his sisters much for they meddling. He had an affair with and loves Babe Chandler who is married to Adam Chandler Jr. and mother to Adam III. Schemes, Plots, Affairs, Scandals, Bribes, and Sexy Fun. Can it get any better? Watch the Drama. Let it Unfold. Love it.
