Short description
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.
Santa Barbara aired in over 40 countries around the world and is best remembered for its witty dialogue and sometimes tongue-in-cheek situations that often seemed like an affectionate parody of the genre. The show won 24 Daytime Emmy Awards and 18 Soap Opera Digest Awards among various other awards.

What's left behind the scenes
- When NBC asked the Dobsons to write a script for a new series, the couple initially refused. They were then offered the rights to the novella. After that, they dove headfirst into the writing process, producing up to 100 typewritten pages a day.
- Santa Barbara owes its creation to the Dobson couple. Bridget wrote scripts for soap operas, while her husband Jerome grew nut trees. The business flourished, but gradually Jerome became interested in his wife's work and began to help her.
