Since 1970, "All My Children" has entertained audiences and brought gripping drama to daytime TV. The town of Pine Valley, PA -- including its most famous resident, Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) -- sees its fair share of scandalous hookups, feuds, and even murder. Along with its handling of social issues, "AMC" has also been known for its particular sense of humor and intelligent brand of satire.
