Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Rahel Barbara Horvat I watched it from the communist world back then, where it was a total hit and a primary tool of introducing American culture and Western life style. It was unique for its immaculate casting, acting talent, witty and intelligently written script that allowed for just a perfect doze of drama as it did of humor, rather than its too many bad and off the point story lines. SB reigned supreme during its first four years and then went South. Many themes were intelligently exploited, including motherhood, rape, racial issue, woman's independence, friendships. But then, many were over or under done. At some point there was too much adulterating, too many broken marriages, divorces, pregnancies that ended in abortions, too many alter-ego cards, too many woman raped and too many ridiculously matched couples (Lionel and Gina, CC and Santana????). Procreation rates on SB were extremely low. Only three children were born by the end of the show, which is a small number given so many couples that appeared on the show. Sometime in the middle, the script greatly departed from its original focus on the two rich families. Too many actors and characters came and left the show without proper closure to the viewers. The show did not give us a proper justification for the riches of these families and how these accumulated, so that we mostly saw characters just hang around, drink expensive champagne, or attend parties. Except Cruz, Julia and maybe Mason, no one seemed to actually have a job (except on occasion and for some characters). Even CC, the richest man in SB was rarely seen in his office. Action was great when there was one, but too many characters were too infrequently engaged in any action. SB was great, but it could have been so much better if some things were done differently. It still remains a sweet memory and warms our hearts for the sake of the old times.

s-pac Santa Barbara was never merely a soap opera. From the beautifully-acted, well-written stories, to the flawless lighting, make-up and set designs -- it was a show that raised the bar for daytime television to a standard that is rarely (if at all) equaled.I'll always be thankful to QVC (the home-shopping television channel) for offering a payment plan that must have sounded good enough to my Mom to purchase our first VCR when I was about 13. Finally, I'd be able to TAPE Santa Barbara! As an only child with a busy and tired single Mom at home, the characters became my extended family -- their adventures and stories were my entertainment, my heartbreak . . . my inspiration.It was the wonderful, exciting chemistry between A Martinez and Marcy Walker as Cruz and Eden that attracted me to the show. Much more that a super-couple -- Martinez and Walker chose to personally invest in the history and depth of their characters, which resulted in pure magic on-screen. My love and support for their extraordinary talents will always be strong.I salute everyone that contributed (in a positive way) to that wonderful show.

Cherrydream It was so long, and thanks that it all over. There are many peoples in Russia, may be, get crazy when see this stupid TV-shows.Ten years it was on ours TV, i was little girl - Show goes, i grown up - it grown. I think, that my children will see this serial, but it's over...Thank's

Wendy-17 Though it has been off the air for six years now, I'll always remember "Santa Barbara" as a terrifically written and superbly acted show. From Nancy Grahn (Julia Wainwright Capwell) and Lane Davies (Mason Capwell) to A Martinez (Cruz Castillo) and Marcy Walker (Eden Capwell Castillo), along with many more talented actors, "Santa Barbara" was a show that took risks and infused humor with drama seamlessly, giving it three well-deserved Emmy Awards for Best Daytime Drama from 1988-1990, with some cast members also taking home awards. I feel that NBC Daytime made a big mistake in cancelling the show. But perhaps it was ahead of its time, as most of the dialogue far outshone any on the currently aired soaps. It is a series I will always be fond of and miss.
