Not really. SB was highly regarded in the industry. It won Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Drama Series in 1988, 1989, and 1990 (and during part of those years Sam Hall wrote for the show), numerous acting awards, along with multiple awards for writing and directing, as well as things like hairstyling, lighting and music direction. In fact, one of the things that keeps SB from being shown again is that it's nearly impossible to secure the music rights to the show.
