It feels as if NBC has slowly been killing daytime all on its on for a very long time. I know that's not quite the case, but NBC got rid of more shows I've loved than any other network.

I didn't initially warm up to Texas. But I adored Reena!! She kept me watching during that troubled first year. What a spitfire!!!!! And when Gial Kobe came along, she helped the show find its proper footing, wisely hiring Donald May to head the Wheeler can. And also wisely pairing Grant with Reena. And she also wisely began focusing on the younger characters, who were quite compelling. I so loved Lurlene. And Ruby too! Oh, those two were the Lucy and Ethel of daytime. I could go on and on. In fact, I did. I wrote several papers about Texas in college. Ahhh, what memories. Thanks for evoking them.
