Whew.  I'm not the only one!  I've always thought soap operas would work 
well with ARGs.

I've had a long time love affair with Guiding Light.  (It's my mother's 
fault)  Over the past few years, they've experimented with a few cross media 
projects including a Marvel Comics crossover.  Yes, you read that right. 
There is a Guiding Light comic book that went with a superhero story arc on 
the show.
