Rituals is an American soap opera that aired in first-run syndication from September 10, 1984, to September 6, 1985. Developed by Gene Palumbo, Clifford Champion, Joyce Corrington and John William Corrington, it was loosely based on a novel of the same name by Charlene Keel. Distributed by Telepictures, 260 25-minute episodes were produced over its single-season run.

“Ritual. One more gaudy emptiness in place of the real thing. One more hope gone.”
“Sleep is the most moronic fraternity in the world, with the heaviest dues and the crudest rituals. It is a mental torture I find debasing... I simply cannot get used to the nightly betrayal of reason, humanity, genius.”
“A daughter who respects you while you’re alive is far better than a son who performs the rites and rituals after you’re gone.”
“Bea says that the art of reading is slowly dying, that it's an intimate ritual, that a book is a mirror that offers us only what we already carry inside us, that when we read, we do it with all our heart and mind, and great readers are becoming more scarce by the day.”
