Soaps In Depth CBS Magazine

Pros: Good in depth reporting

Cons: none I could think of

Review: I like CBS Soaps in depth because the soaps that I watch are on CBS and the rest of magizines do not cover them as well as you do. I am really into the bold and the beautiful, as well as as the world turns. I like your behind the scene reporting as well...

Pros: Color coordinates the four shows, not much advertising

Cons: The issues are hard to find at stores, alternates weeks with the ABC magazine

Pros: All CBS soaps, all the time!

Cons: Subscription issues are woefully slow in arriving!

Review: This every-3rd-week digest (it rotates on a weekly basis with the ABC and NBC issues) offers updates, details, "spoilers," and articles on all of the CBS soaps as well as tidbits on cast changes, previews, reviews, "remember when"...
