Not long enough but still great to have a tribute, to have someone famous like Betty White speak for it and say she's a huge fan, and have the cast there for the audience to cheer and thank!
@1clockworkorange Exactly what I was thinking! After the storylines involving Paul Anthony Stewart's Danny and Bethany Joy Lenz's Michelle, the show was never the same again. The only one I really liked was the Jonathan and Tammy storyline (even if it was a bit messed up).
I'm digressing a bit, but I think the theme had something to do with it. I miss the one they played when the cast took a bow instead of that God awful one they ended the show with.
I was so happy to see that Original Recipe Alan and Roger made the cut into this tribute, as well as a shot of the great Nola Reardon Chamberlain, Frank and Eleni... Though I wish there had been more clips from both the seventies and eighties, to show that GL was the gold standard long before Reva took over the show and they turned Phillip into a lunatic (which thankfully was fixed before the end) and there was an Alan before they turned him into a cartoon.
Hands down GL was the best show on TV in its heyday. Nothing could touch it. Us fans warned TPTB for years the show was severely lacking in quality since 1998 but it fell on deaf/stupid ears. CBS, Les Moonves, and Proctor & Gamble shamefully abandoned this show after this show gave them so much loyalty and revenue over its years. I wish some of the big stars who got their start on GL would have paid tribute in the end. Julianne Moore did for ATWT and has my respect forever. That is class.
Let me just say that I think it was wonderful that they used that theme song "Hold on to love" in the tribute. I am a 30 year old male and I remember my mom watching Guiding Light every day . When the show ended for the day my Grandmother would call my mom and they would talk and review the show for hours. Every time, believe it or not I hear that song it does bring memories and tears to my eyes, so THANKYOU for making that theme song as part of the tribute and bringing back great memories. :)
I can relate, John. I'm a 38-year-old male, married with two kids. My mom listened to Guiding Light when it was on te radio, and I started watching it with my mom when I was just five years old back in 1976...even before the Spauldings made their first appearance. This show is a family tradition that goes back to my great grandmother, and I wanted to pass it on to my kids, who are three now. I hope it comes back in some fashion...don't give up hope.
@whalers59 Your completely right somebody should start a website to show canceled soap operas. Or somehow start making new GL and ATWT episodes on the internet like the GL people tried to do by cutting their salaries.
I watched the show since 1993. Buzz Cooper was my favorite character since his first day on the show... then I loved the Coopers, Jenna, Alex, Alan, Roger, Holly... almost everyone in Springfield. And I miss them all. Wonderful soap... simply the Best!!!!!
India von Halkein, Annie Dutton, Holly Lindsey..... these were characters worthy of Dickens or Tolstoy. When I think of Guiding Light, I think of how brilliant these characters were.... and so underrated.
"This is a town where people really look after each other!" - GOD, what an abysmal dialogue. Roger Thorpe is turning in his grave at Ellen Wheeler's clichéd, Mormonized version of Springfield. It's best that the show was cancelled before all the character became 2 dimensional Bible thumping freaks.
Bingo! The Roger-Holly storyline from the mid-late 70s onward was some of the best television drama I've ever seen (far better than anything that was in prime-time).
Funny how this supposed "retrospective" glossed over the best years of the series as if it never happened.
After a many-year absence, I tuned in to see the last couple of episodes. It was painful to watch. Sadly, it deserved to be put out of its talentless misery...
Oh, I just finally saw this and I did have a few tears.
Though I agree there weren't nearly enough scenes to give a detailed account of the show. (Of course Reva tramping around the fountain is the one they'll always show.)
But it's sad that a show I've watched since I was about 13 (I'm 26 now) is no longer around.
Although the writing got very tacky in those last several years.
Watched since I was 8 and now I am 45....8 years old in my Grandmother;s lap.. off the school bus, to Mama Woodard"s lap till now.......we miss yall..
@Messylin Both those actresses are class acts! Sorry to say, but Guiding Light died in the late 1990's. It went from being a traditional soap full of creative storytelling to outlandish plots( cough cough clone) that belong on the Sci-fi network. This Love will save the world shit was not GL to me, I don't know what that was but that was not the GL most people grew up on. So I didn't mourn Guiding Lite I Mourned for Guiding Light.
She was there, in the second row of the actors as they came out onstage. You can see Crystal Chappell turn to motion for her to come closer to the front. You first see her at about 4:25, behind & between Marj Dusay and Liz Keifer. Then you see Crystal turn and motion to her as the camera pans.
Ok, that was very nice but it was kind of a measly tribute with too few scenes of beloved past cast members & favorite storylines. I think the show deserved a lot more credit! And a much more detailed tribute!!
For those of you talking shit about Kim Zimmer, just please shut the fuck. Kim Zimmer was beyond amazing in guiding light. Since watching the show she stood out to me the most.
"Kim Zimmer was beyond amazing in guiding light. Since watching the show she stood out to me the most."
Which one? Which "Reva Clone" stood out the most? Which time travel story was it that was so amazing? Frankly, it was the Reva stories that made the show lose the bulk of the audience it had.
Prior to the Reva stories, this soap was one of the most adult and serious television dramas ever made.
With Reva, they turned it into a fantasy kid's show.
...though I'm not "talking shit" about Kim Zimmer. It's not her fault, it's the fault of the writers (or perhaps the demographics experts who said "hey we gotta get more children watching this show!)
I wish Betty White had lost her shit and been like "What the F kind of tribute was that?!?! Where's the decency??" And then thanked the cast personally and yelled at the producers of the Emmys...
i don't think betty would have been a profesional if she had yelled and carried on the way you wished briemillman. i also do agree that tribute was nothing. 70 something years of history worthed more than that ridiculous tribute
She was looking at all of her colleagues in the industry, (actors, producers, writers, etc.) and saying "Keep alive, Baby, keep alive!" while giving them thumbs up. Other soaps are at risk of being cancelled and she was encouraging all those who are still working hard at it. I think that's commendable.
I think that other people should have given the Tribute, James Lipton, James Earl Jones, Billy Dee Williams, Sherry Stringfield, and not Betty White. I realize she started out in the 1950's like GL did but hey she has no ties to that show.
i agree lamiange about betty. i love her but she has no connectiosn to the show. thay could haev asked a actor who was on the soap who is not on there anymore to do that or even ask agnes nixon since she was one of the writers years ago
It actually would have been nice for the audience shots to have been past cast members of Guiding Light who were at the Emmys. I know Rick Hearst (Whip, B&B) was there and I heard a rumor that Lisa Brown and Michael Tylo (Quint and Nola) were also there. And the others like Kassie DePaiva, Beth Ehlers, Ricky Paull Goldin, Jerry ver Dorn, etc. I'm surprised there wasn't more of an outcry from the daytime community in general over this, because everyone's on the chopping block now.
I'm really upset not to see Maureen Garrett (Holly) or Cynthia Watros (Annie) take their bows. They are 2 of the very best actresses the show ever had, miles ahead of KIm Zimmer in terms of talent and depth.
Why is Kim Zimmer treated like the star of the show? Zimmer was the one who ploughed the ship into the iceberg and made it sink in my opinion... that stupid grating hick Reva took all the storylines.
"that stupid grating hick Reva took all the storylines."
Exactly. Though the fault is largely with the writers. The day they started the "Reva Clone" story arc (compounded with the time-travel Dark Shadows me-too) is when they turned it from a serious adult drama (rivaling most prime-time and cinema dramas) and turned it into a kid's show.
Favorite characters...Harley&Alan Michael; Harley &Gus;Reva;Alex;Frank&Eleni;Gus;Roger&Holly. I stopped watching because it just too cooky for me. But remmber the good times. Oh yeah! Fletcher. Love him
72 years! I used to watch this show with my aunt when it was 15 minutes long, then it went to a 30 minutes. Then, as a young mother, it went to an hour! But, I still remember the Bauer family, and I will never forget Guiding Light
I just watched the final episode of GL. I cried so hard at the end that you would have thought I was at a funeral. In many ways, I guess I was. I remember watching this show as a toddler. I am now 44. I didn't watch every day, but I always tried to stay caught up. I am amazed how much these characters touched my life. I have and will continue to love GL. Thank you for providing something with continuity for the 44 years of my life. Godspeed.
Aloha, Tomorrow 9/18/09 is going to be one of the saddest days of my life. I have watched Guiding Light for over 30 years. I truely feel like a dear friend is dying.
The clips were also very front-loaded to the present years. It's not because very old clips don't exist, there are plenty of uploads on youtube of GL's heyday when the writers still had talent 30 years ago.
The clip sequence was made for a generation that thinks the universe began the day they were born.
I just watched the extended unaired tribute. In 4 minutes and 3 seconds, a grand total of 8 seconds of the 70s were used. That's 3 percent. The very best decade of GL gets a whopping 3 percent representation.
Wonderful. No tears for what this show became. Where the writers stop writing because it interferes with the obnoxious music lyrics and they prefer the actors to shut up.
Thanks. It breaks my heart, because I'm a GL fan of old. I couldn't bring myself to watch the final episode after earlier this week I tuned in out of curiosity when I heard they had Alan Spaulding die. I thought "what a great opportunity, the writers must be salivating!"
For two days, all I saw was crap. It's like the writers gave up and said "we're out of here"
Part of the problem is the same thing going on in other soaps, the writers on GL are giving stupid storylines and just assuming the viewers will watch and when we don't the shows get cancelled.
They lost what made GL special: the focus on family not just do what other soaps do to stay current, or forget their core actors and add a younger face, the I think the executive producer even started on a soap so she should have known better. So now the viewers get another stupid game show- oh joy!
i have watched Guiding Light since grade school and am so upset that it was canceled. Why do all the good shows get canceled and all we are left with is reality show garbage
I heard that there was a longer clip package but that the show was running long and the CW required the Emmys to end on time ("a hard out" as I hjave heard it referred to), so they had to run a shorter clip. I agree though that the tribute should have been a little longer given the history of the show.
I wish I had seen and taped this show, but thank you so much for posting it. I confess that I haven't watched regularly for a few years, but was a regular viewer and fan from the time I was a little girl in the 1950's (it was one of my mom's soaps). I've shed a few tears watching tapes of old shows. I'm watching and taping this last week. I'd love to see CBS/Proctor and Gamble step up and give the fans a good 2 hour special with old clips. God bless the cast and crew.
I would do anything to bring guiding light back on... I love the show in every way! I'm only 19 but I have gone back and looked at passed GL stories and watch passed episodes. I love the show and I wish I could change its fate!
i so so so get what you are saying, when Betty White introduced the tribute, i thought it would be longer since there would not be SOAPS if Guiding Light had not come around and for them to dis the show, i have only watched GL for 7 years but i wanted to see clips from all the eras, didn't you?
awesome tribute. didn't really watch guiding light but was a huge another world fan so I sympathize with fans! At least you got a fitting recognition to the end of your show at the emmys - another world got no recognition for 35 years. So sad to see another mainstay soap leave the airwaves!
I hate to see the show ending--I grew up on it. But one correction--GL was not the first soap opera on television. It was just the first radio soap to transition successfully to television. (But there were at least two successful TV soaps to pre-date GL on TV--Search for Tomorrow and Love of Life.)
I cried during the tribute. The best days were with Roger and and Holly and Early Reva and Josh. Bert Bauer, Meta Bauer, etc. The show proved to be nothing without the Bauers
That made me cry. I've watched it for as long as I can remember. I will certainly miss the show and it's sad that CBS and P&G don't realize that although their ratings might have slipped, it's only because people are now able to record their shows or watch them online when they can't see it when it airs.
I never really watched GL full-time but I did keep up with the show during the '80s and '90s. I never thought it would go off the air. Soaps are really in trouble. When I heard about GL, I started watching Y&R again everyday. I hope it is not going anywhere.
GL was the gold standard. I loved Michael Zaslow from back in the day. There were other characters and s/ls, I loved also - too many to name. Too bad. The end of an era.
I second that sk8ter, it is the top serial and all the others would have to drop for them to be canceled unless CBS is willingly to keep on screwing their DAYTIME fans over, i am still mad that LETS MAKE A DEAL is being redone and takes the spot of a 72 year old show, that is beyond stupidity and the actor who plays Frank Cooper said it best when he said how could CBS not renew us and only think of the bottom line. Truer words were never spoken.
I think she was. Tina Sloan has been on the show for about 26 years and I've seen quite a few emotional, teary reactions from her to the news of the end of GL, so I guess she was. Prob a mix of emotions at that moment.
My heart aches with sadness over the demise of this amazing and historic show. Words cannot express the sadness and I loss I feel for american culture over this shows untimely end.
This show paved the way for daytime television. I watched it everyday with my grandmother, even when I was too young to know what was going on. It will be missed.
The whole emmy show was a crap fest. It had no direction. With the Vanessa Williams variety hour and feeding the hungry children...there wasn't any time to focus on the actual 'purpose' of the show. It was like GL these days, unwatchable.
72 years of GL and this is what we get for a tribute? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they honored the show but this fell flat. This is supposed to honor years, decades even, of watching GL with my mom. A wonderful show, or better yet tradition and heritage, something beautiful that I got to share with my mother and this is supposed to reflect that. There should have been more recognition. However, I did bawl my eyes out when the cast took their final bow on that stage. Also, good to see TP there.
Garbage montage. We wanted to see LONG clips of Maureen Bauer, Roger & Holly, Reva & Annie, Vanessa & Dinah, Nola.... the BIG LEAGUE characters, NOT the standard ones.
this sucks so bad! this shouldnt be happening and of course all the other castmembers of the soaps were clapping because now that's one less show to compete with for nominations!! i just started watching this show this year!!!
if you hadn't done so browse through the classic clips of GL from all the various years that are on You Tube to really grasp what people mean when they say that the show pales in comparison to it's past. when you said you just started watching the show this year I'd suggest you look at the characters and story lines that populated the show prior to GL becoming infatuated with trying to be hip. GL was always at it's best when being the "stereotypical soap opera" and I mean that as a compliment.
sad that once again cbs has sold out yet another show for the almighty dollar. and lets see how long lets make a deal last. which is taking its place. or maybe the can add another csi in that time slot!
well, to be fair, America is a capitalist society. while I don't fault people who want to make money since that's at the core of capitalism, and it's what makes America what it is, I don't think canceling a soap opera and replacing it with a game show is a smart move. "Let's Make a Deal" will have to face the same competition GL did. In some markets "General Hospital" is airing on ABC at 3pm. "Dr. Phil" airs at 3pm. GL airs here at 3pm on CBS.
I think last nights emmy montage for guiding light could have been a little longer with the clips through the years it looked slopped together o wonder its going off there air it was the best in the early 90s
actually it was the best during the previous decades on into the mid '90s and then afterward there was only 2 or 3 storylines that would be good and the others so-so. i can't pin point a specific year but I feel things started to go downhill with the firing of long-time fan favorites. the producers cite budget cuts but it's interesting that they never gutted the payroll of younger players on the show...only the established characters were written or killed off.
some will probably say "well, the actors playing the established characters made the most money" which is probably true but I think, for sheer entertainment reasons, the show could have dropped a lot of new characters and younger players and stuck with the characters that the viewers wanted to see, by majority opinion. I'm not that big of a fan of the way the show looked during it's last months. That hand held camera approach...outdoor screen shots...looks too much like footage from a newscast.
I love how the four musketeers are standing together. You can tell despite the fact that its only 3 of the original four that the friendship carries over off screen just the same.
May Ellen Wheeler, her writing staff, and her production staff never get their hands on anything sacred like Guiding Light ever again. Thank you for running this show into the ground and destroying everything that was good about it. The changes you made were deplorable.
you know I don't ever respond to negative comment, but I have to now....you are so right....they ran this show in the ground....Im sick of hearing about budget cuts, etc. etc. etc.....I have watched for 35 years, thats right 35 years...and have continued to watch, but have hated it the last 2....as for the theme music, thank god they used the real gl music...if they would have used the opening now, I would have puked.....
Fuck Proctor and Gamble! ya, great business move. I have officially stopped buying ANY P&G products, including Tide and Dawn. Those P&G marketing gurus are amazingly bright... NOT! I love you Guiding Light... always!
I almost teared up again after seeing that. They played the real GL music, and seeing the cast like that, and Tina Sloan (Lillian) so sad. Sigh. I liked how the audience was so respectful, especially Flannery, Alfonso, and Geary among others.
I thought the tribute, although not as long as I had hoped, was lovely and classy. And don't forget kids, they had Betty White introduce the thing and that too was nice touch.
such a wonderful cast and show so little time. I guess 2 mins or 20 mins what amount of time would be enough? There isn't an adequate answer as there's just not enough time to honor this great dame of a show as it leaves us. There will be a few more goodbyes but not this public. I'm glad I get to do it in person at one later in Oct. but for now "Goodbye Guiding Light", I found you late in your lifetime but I will appreciate what you brought for a long long time.
The video was great but shame on the emmy show for putting all the GL actors on the stage only for six seconds, then spending time showing people clapping. What a disappointment for the GL fans, shame on CBS for cancelling GL, the sound of clicking you hear is 1.8 million GL viewers changing from CBS to one of a hundred other shows to watch. CBS, you only have yourself to blame.
But CBS didn't renew the series. They're both at fault. P&G for not making them produce better storylines and going back to the original filming setting, and CBS for not renewing and keeping the show alive.
I am also disappointed for the lack of respect the Daytime Emmys and CW has shown for Guiding Light. The tribute was way too short and the emmy show in general was awful. Shame the people in charge of the show can't wrap their heads around the relevance of a 72 year old broadcast icon. Shame on them!
Missed it live, I agree it was way too short! But unfortunately with the emmy show being on CW they were limited to 2 hours. Would have been nice to have paid homage to those who got their start on GL, like Kevin Bacon, Melina Kanakaredes, Hayden Panetierre, Brittney Snow, just to name a few. Will miss GL; its longevity will likely never be surpassed!
The tribute was way too short. It brought tears to my eyes. I've been watching Guiding Light since I was in grade school and I'm 50 now. September 18 will be a very sad day. It's a shame it's going off the air.
i liked the song and i cried when the cast members came up even if i watched it just a couple of month it became a big part in my heart not just because of Otalia because it is about family and real life its probably the honest show of all ( I hate BB) and the cast is the loveliest and decent ever ( it's like something big goes away which was there for 72 years and then its gone television today is so fast moving
so sad didnt see this live [with the time difference] so sad and i love betty white she was so funny agree with ye all shame so short it brought us otalia so as stated GONE BUT NOT FORGOTEN
Lovely that they had this tribute, I wish it could have been longer though and incorporating more of the entire show throughout the years. But what's passed has passed. God, I will miss this show <3
That was WAY too short.A show that has been on for so long deserved a much better tribute than that.Makes it look like it was OK to cancel the show with a rubbish send off like that.Boo!!!
A tribute of a minute and a half people. For a 72yo show. I've had sneezes that lasted longer than that. Shame on the Emmy's! And for not letting the B&B have their acceptance speech. Whatthefever.
Not long enough but still great to have a tribute, to have someone famous like Betty White speak for it and say she's a huge fan, and have the cast there for the audience to cheer and thank!

"Kim Zimmer was beyond amazing in guiding light. Since watching the show she stood out to me the most."
Which one? Which "Reva Clone" stood out the most? Which time travel story was it that was so amazing? Frankly, it was the Reva stories that made the show lose the bulk of the audience it had.
Prior to the Reva stories, this soap was one of the most adult and serious television dramas ever made.
With Reva, they turned it into a fantasy kid's show.

What the hell was Kim Zimmer screaming at the end? She is so classless.
antonzap 2 years ago
She was looking at all of her colleagues in the industry, (actors, producers, writers, etc.) and saying "Keep alive, Baby, keep alive!" while giving them thumbs up. Other soaps are at risk of being cancelled and she was encouraging all those who are still working hard at it. I think that's commendable.

It actually would have been nice for the audience shots to have been past cast members of Guiding Light who were at the Emmys. I know Rick Hearst (Whip, B&B) was there and I heard a rumor that Lisa Brown and Michael Tylo (Quint and Nola) were also there. And the others like Kassie DePaiva, Beth Ehlers, Ricky Paull Goldin, Jerry ver Dorn, etc. I'm surprised there wasn't more of an outcry from the daytime community in general over this, because everyone's on the chopping block now.

Why is Kim Zimmer treated like the star of the show? Zimmer was the one who ploughed the ship into the iceberg and made it sink in my opinion... that stupid grating hick Reva took all the storylines.
Messylin 2 years ago 2
"that stupid grating hick Reva took all the storylines."
Exactly. Though the fault is largely with the writers. The day they started the "Reva Clone" story arc (compounded with the time-travel Dark Shadows me-too) is when they turned it from a serious adult drama (rivaling most prime-time and cinema dramas) and turned it into a kid's show.

I am now 44. I didn't watch every day, but I always tried to stay caught up. I am amazed how much these characters touched my life. I have and will continue to love GL. Thank you for providing something with continuity for the 44 years of my life. Godspeed.

The clips were also very front-loaded to the present years. It's not because very old clips don't exist, there are plenty of uploads on youtube of GL's heyday when the writers still had talent 30 years ago.
The clip sequence was made for a generation that thinks the universe began the day they were born.

I just watched the extended unaired tribute. In 4 minutes and 3 seconds, a grand total of 8 seconds of the 70s were used. That's 3 percent. The very best decade of GL gets a whopping 3 percent representation.
Wonderful. No tears for what this show became. Where the writers stop writing because it interferes with the obnoxious music lyrics and they prefer the actors to shut up.

Thanks. It breaks my heart, because I'm a GL fan of old. I couldn't bring myself to watch the final episode after earlier this week I tuned in out of curiosity when I heard they had Alan Spaulding die. I thought "what a great opportunity, the writers must be salivating!"
For two days, all I saw was crap. It's like the writers gave up and said "we're out of here"
60sThru80s 2 years ago 2
Part of the problem is the same thing going on in other soaps, the writers on GL are giving stupid storylines and just assuming the viewers will watch and when we don't the shows get cancelled.
They lost what made GL special: the focus on family not just do what other soaps do to stay current, or forget their core actors and add a younger face, the I think the executive producer even started on a soap so she should have known better. So now the viewers get another stupid game show- oh joy!

I heard that there was a longer clip package but that the show was running long and the CW required the Emmys to end on time ("a hard out" as I hjave heard it referred to), so they had to run a shorter clip. I agree though that the tribute should have been a little longer given the history of the show.

I hate to see the show ending--I grew up on it. But one correction--GL was not the first soap opera on television. It was just the first radio soap to transition successfully to television. (But there were at least two successful TV soaps to pre-date GL on TV--Search for Tomorrow and Love of Life.)

I never really watched GL full-time but I did keep up with the show during the '80s and '90s. I never thought it would go off the air. Soaps are really in trouble. When I heard about GL, I started watching Y&R again everyday. I hope it is not going anywhere.
GL was the gold standard. I loved Michael Zaslow from back in the day. There were other characters and s/ls, I loved also - too many to name. Too bad. The end of an era.

72 years of GL and this is what we get for a tribute? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they honored the show but this fell flat. This is supposed to honor years, decades even, of watching GL with my mom. A wonderful show, or better yet tradition and heritage, something beautiful that I got to share with my mother and this is supposed to reflect that. There should have been more recognition. However, I did bawl my eyes out when the cast took their final bow on that stage. Also, good to see TP there.

if you hadn't done so browse through the classic clips of GL from all the various years that are on You Tube to really grasp what people mean when they say that the show pales in comparison to it's past. when you said you just started watching the show this year I'd suggest you look at the characters and story lines that populated the show prior to GL becoming infatuated with trying to be hip. GL was always at it's best when being the "stereotypical soap opera" and I mean that as a compliment.

well, to be fair, America is a capitalist society. while I don't fault people who want to make money since that's at the core of capitalism, and it's what makes America what it is, I don't think canceling a soap opera and replacing it with a game show is a smart move. "Let's Make a Deal" will have to face the same competition GL did. In some markets "General Hospital" is airing on ABC at 3pm. "Dr. Phil" airs at 3pm. GL airs here at 3pm on CBS.

I think last nights emmy montage for guiding light could have been a little longer with the clips through the years it looked slopped together o wonder its going off there air it was the best in the early 90s
soap1991 2 years ago
actually it was the best during the previous decades on into the mid '90s and then afterward there was only 2 or 3 storylines that would be good and the others so-so. i can't pin point a specific year but I feel things started to go downhill with the firing of long-time fan favorites. the producers cite budget cuts but it's interesting that they never gutted the payroll of younger players on the show...only the established characters were written or killed off.
ACcountryFan 2 years ago
some will probably say "well, the actors playing the established characters made the most money" which is probably true but I think, for sheer entertainment reasons, the show could have dropped a lot of new characters and younger players and stuck with the characters that the viewers wanted to see, by majority opinion. I'm not that big of a fan of the way the show looked during it's last months. That hand held camera approach...outdoor screen shots...looks too much like footage from a newscast.
