Santa Barbara was an American soap opera. The show, which won many Emmy awards, was famous for its comedic style and offbeat writing. One character was killed by having a giant neon letter "C" land on her while she was standing on a building's roof.

When a major earthquake hit Santa Barbara, core character Danny Andrade slept through the entire thing. Minx Lockridge was unfazed, saying that the 1984 Santa Barbara earthquake was nothing like 1925. She was later knocked into an empty sarcophagus. Luckily, her grandchildren were around to let her out and she escaped with merely a bruised hubris.

The show covered the exciting, eventful lives of the wealthy Capwell family of Santa Barbara, California. Around the Capwells there are several other families, from the rival Lockridge family to the more modest Andrade and Perkins families, whose lives know the same torments.

In the United States, it ran from July 30, 1984 to January 15, 1993 on NBC, totalling 2137 episodes.

It has also run in several other countries across the world. In France, it ran from October 14, 1985 to June 24, 1994 on TF1 (1044 episodes) and from December 19, 2000 to June 1, 2001 on TF6 (106 episodes).
