I still want to see a Hughes family set, and maybe they should consider a Lisa salute, like the Reva one.

Regarding the bonus episode: does it have any promos for other CBS soaps of the time?

Well,regarding AW, the Paley Center has several 1975/76 episodes donated from the P&G archives, and they are mostly about the early days of Mac and Rachel's marriage and one standout is the episode where Iris discovers her portrait slashed and immediately blames Rachel! (She was innocent, it...

If there's a Bauer family set, why not a Hughes family set? There's a lot of stuff on the Hughes family in kinescope from the late 50s- early 60s on Penny & Jeff, Bob & Lisa, and the many loves of Donald Hughes (who just couldn't hold on to a woman- she either died or left town) in addition to...

GREAT NEWS!! Soap Classics has annouced a 2-disc volume, The Bauer Family Story, an 11-episode tribute to Guiding Light's first family, with shows from 1977- 2009. The BIG news is the addition of a rare color tape from 1973: a tribute to the recently deceased Papa Bauer, played by the late...

As I mentioned before, if someone were to ask all the people who worked on soaps from say 1951-1978 whether he or she was an actor/writer/director/producer/other crew member, you'd be surprised as to how many actually have kniescopes or even copies of master tapes in their possessions. Mind...

Great news about Edge, but from what year?

Well, it's ignorant behavior like that which has led to the loss of valuable reels of film and tape. Of course, this has been going on forever: one day in the 1930s a big fire scene was being filmed at Universal and studio head Carl Laemmle, Jr. told a stagehand to get some old silent movie...

True, as a lot of rural area stations and those in really far locales (Alaska/Hawaii) did not have the capacity to get the national feeds from the networks and had to rely on kinescopes into the 1970s. Of course, it would also depend if the stations in questions kept those kinescopes instead of...

Well, it's a question of priorities and having someone who knows what to look for in the tape vaults. By accident some 'lost shows' have been found through vault searches. A classic example is when Dark Shadows DVD producer Jim Pierson was looking for master tapes of episodes that were only...

The only exceptions are the 1963-70 General Hospital kinescope collection which was donated by ABC to the UCLA Film & Television Archive (I think it has practically all of the episodes which aired in that time period) and Ryan's Hope, which ABC bought from Labine-Mayer Productions in 1981...

I wonder how early they will go back. Continuous Edge episodes begin in early 1978 until the December 1984 end. The previous Yahoo streaming had 1979-80 shows.

If that's true they can just forget about me! They're cutting their own throats! I want "Edge"!!!!!!!

Actually, some soaps were already being exported in the early 70s: Days of our Lives was being seen in places like Hong Kong and Dark Shadows caused a sensation in South American countries- in fact, Jonathan Frid did publicity tours where he was swamped by new fans. This was in between the...

It'll be interesting to see all three Alexandra Spauldings (Beverlee McKinsey, Joan Collins, and Marj Dusay, who played the role the longest) in this collection. Three legendary soap divas who also made their mark in other characters. On the other hand, it's a pity the set begins in 1979...

The VHS release Roger Thorpe- The Scandal Years shows that there is a good deal of vintage tapes in the P&G vault from the mid-late 70s. So cheer up, GL fans. Now, I'm still waiting for a DVD set for The Edge of Night.........
