This review is from: All My Children: Based on the Popular ABC Daytime Serial [BOX SET] (Toy)

I was looking for a memento to mark the cancellation of "All My Children," and this game from 1985 popped up on Amazon. I was struck by how young the cast members are on the box cover (and therefore how old I am now!). What convinced me to get it was Erica's "Afro." I admit I haven't opened it yet; it's still shrink-wrapped. But I think it's a fine way to say good-bye after almost 40 years of following this soap. As for the educational value, perhaps it offers an "education" best left for older children, so I gave it one star for that. I wouldn't let my own kids watch the show until they were 12, and by then they didn't want to! So, a fun memento. If I can find anyone wants to play it with me, perhaps I'll open it.
