For about the first 6 months of the tv season, they're really focused on establishing the storylines and setting up the scenarios. Then, things really pick up. They usually have one episode per night, and sometimes two for two months straight. Thankfully, in recent seasons, the horrible cast members have been killed off early.

The season finale is usually really good. In 2006, they teased us by almost having the worst characters emerge triumphant, but they were vanquished at the last minute. The year before that they didn't have any new episodes but did show some re-runs. The year before that was really bittersweet, as the best characters had a fairy-tale run, but didn't quite live happily ever after.

Their best season by-far was 20 years ago (although the few seasons before that and the one after were unbearable).
I nominate this post for the CP Draft Hall of Fame!

Looks like a few people had the same idea I did. I was going to grab it for sure this round if it survived. Troublemaker, you suck!
