It's more of a two-(extended)-points in time analysis than a true 
watch-it-as-it-happens one, but my book Tune In, Log On: Soaps Fandom 
and Online Community, spends the first many chapters on the first 
part in time and has an epilogue about how the community changed over 
time that may be of help.
