''Santa Barbara'' is an American television soap opera, first broadcast in the United States on NBC on July 30, 1984, and last aired on January 15, 1993. The show revolves around the eventful lives of the wealthy Capwell family of Santa Barbara, California. Other prominent families featured on the soap were the rival Lockridge family, and the more modest Andrade and Perkins families. The serial was produced by Dobson Productions and New World Television, which also served as distributor for the show in international markets. ''Santa Barbara'' was New World Television's first series. Due to the buyout of New World by (old) News Corporation in 1997, current rights to the series reside with the old News Corp's successor, 21st Century Fox, and its syndication arm, 20th Century Fox Television. ''Santa Barbara'' aired in over 40 countries around the world.〔(''Santa Barbara'' in other countries ), ''Fan site'', last accessed 2008-06-16"〕 It became the longest-running television series in Russia, being aired there from 1992 to 2002. ''Santa Barbara'' won 24 Daytime Emmy Awards and was nominated 30 times for the same award. The show also won 18 Soap Opera Digest Awards, and won various other awards.〔(Emmy Awards for ''Santa Barbara'' ) ''NBC'', URL last accessed 2008-06-16〕 ''Santa Barbara'' aired at 3:00 PM Eastern (2:00 PM Central) on NBC in the same time slot as ''General Hospital'' on ABC and ''Guiding Light'' on CBS and right after ''Another World''. In 1993, NBC replaced ''Santa Barbara'' with game shows ''Scrabble'' and ''Scattergories''. Shortly before the program was canceled by NBC, New World Television tried to shop ''Santa Barbara'' to other broadcast and cable networks, but failed to find one that would air the show. ==Plot== ''Santa Barbara'' is notable for having a central plot around which many of the others revolve: the murder of Channing Capwell, Jr. This killing takes place five years before the series actually begins, at which point Joe Perkins, jailed for the murder, is paroled and returns to Santa Barbara determined to prove his innocence and renew his relationship with Kelly Capwell, sister of the victim.〔(Joe leaves prison ), ''Joe released''〕 Over the course of the soap, almost every major character would be accused of the murder of Channing Capwell, Jr. or find his or her life involved in the incident in one way or another: from his illegitimate son to his mysterious, presumed-dead mother. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Santa Barbara (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
