Critical response
The book Syndicated Television: The First Forty Years, 1947-1987 suggested that one problem with Romance Theatre was, "the producers of the series made an inviolate promise to the viewers that each of the five-part stories would end happily, and what true soap-opera fan wanted to see that?"[5]
