It's kinda ridiculous, because even if the replaced soaps with game shows, they would still be losing money and nobody would be watching it anyway... so why not sontinue airing GL? if not they should just shut down CBS daytime completely
An inexplicable development of J. Conboy's stint as exec. producer, this opener segued rather neatly into each episode's first scene but lacked personality, did nothing to define Guiding Light. Maybe the broadcast defied definition by this point.
God, I HATED this ultra-cheap bargain-basement opening. it always felt like the theme music to an infomercial to me, and they picked some of the most unflattering shots of many of the actors! The clip of Michelle boogying was especially bad, and of course they had to show Jeffrey singing. God, I he was awful, always tried to pretend he was James Taylor or something.
I agree that this was the worst Guiding Light opening title sequence ever. The music wasn't so bad but the graphics were awful. The letters go across the screen and if you didn't know you were watching GL, you'd have to pay awfully close attention to spell the words. It didn't end with a complete GUIDING LIGHT spelled out. It also did not create an identifiable graphic or logo for the show.
This was the ( in my opinion ) WORST of the newer GL themes ever. It's so simple. I mean, a ten yr old could make this with Windows movie maker and GL clips!

@mthivier But this was no where near as bad as the final opening used. This one was much better than that one.
