I was a fan of Edge of Night in the early 80s until it's demise. Can anyone tell me or lead me to any Halloween-based episodes it might have had? I can't remember any, but I know soaps usually take place in sync with holidays. "Edge" most certainly would have had some seasonal Halloween episodes being that is was so mysterious....
@MrChicago891 I don't think The Edge of Night" really did Halloween storylines per-se. I know they had a countless spooky moments. One of the spookiest would be the "Mansion of the Dammed" storyline which started in Fall of 1979. I actually uploaded a very eerie clip of "EON" from 1979.
I would like to see more CBS episodes. From what I seen of the ABC episodes, the storylines were quite creative. The show lost it's unique around 1983 when Henry Slesar left.
There's an interesting story behind "Edge Of Night".
In the 1940's and early 1950's, there was a soap-opera version of "Perry Mason" on radio.
In 1956, the decision was made to bring the show to TV, but Earl Stanley Gardiner didn't want the TV version to be a soap, so instead, it became a self-contained once-weekly prime-time drama.
The radio version went to TV, but as "The Edge Of Night", along with most of radio cast.
In the end, it was the right move. Both TV shows were hits
Does anyone know the names of the couple who starred in Edge of Night and kept their roles for over 30 years. Audiences believed they were actually married to one another. This was not the case, but the viewers thought otherwise.
Wow! Bill Macy, who was the husband in the '70s sitcom "Maude," was in this episode's credits.
That entire closing/ending sequence still creeps me out a half-century later. As a kid, I'd stare at it while Mom ironed or whatever. I'd then leave the room, traumatized! I've even taken night shots that remind me of the title's background scenery.
you never know what you have until it is gone. how truly sad what has become of daytime TV or more accurately all commercial TV. it is too bad how they all had to copy the dramedy Y&R and B&B; never watched B&B but Y&R was totally ridiculous---remember how Laceford"s veiled mother went backwards off the apt terrace to try and frame Jamie Lyn Bauer for murder or how Victor Neuman had toupee Paul in a cell in his L/R? the founding Brooks faomily literally disappearded and was never mentioned again
@orbit14915 The soaps were under pressure to bring in a younger audience after Y&R became a monster hit. TV is a money driven medium. They only care about attracting the young demographic. They don't care much about the loyal fans who watch a show for years. And now they're bringing back old nighttime shows like HAWAII FIVE 0 and CHARLIE'S ANGELS.
@orbit14915 Amen! I believe the 50's and 60's was television's finest hour. The trash that somehow passes for TV entertainment these days can't hold a candle to these old shows.
GREG MAY of Orlando, FL says: "I remember watching an episode of 'The Edge of Night' in the early 70's and they displayed the original logo during the half-time break with the dark 'edge' halfway across the screen. The director quickly corrected it with the 70's version. I believe this happened during the time of the production strike at CBS."
Hector Eliazando(Who played the driver and bodyguard in "The Princess Diaries"Movies) ,character actor and former NYC based Kids TV Host/performer:Joe Silver"(WCBS TV Ch.2 NYC's"Capt Jet")and Allen Swift's Son Lewis Stadlin also appeared on this late 1960's installment of"The Edge Of Night".
thank you! listening to this brings back so many memoriesHarry Cramer was the absolute BEST announcer that CBS ever had it is too bad that this did not include the mid-show break. very rarely the first half of eon had no sponsor, and HC would boom "this has been prt 1 of the eon and now the second half of teon brought to you today by...the music for he break was also fantastic. the CRAPthat is now daytime is awful Y&R +++++B&b are more like comedies than dramas stopped watching years aago
I love all of the products that were advertised back then . . . many of which are still around today -- Tide. Man, has Tide evolved over the generations. It's a whole different formula now.
@soap1919jt some P&G products seemed to be advertised only on EON namely Thrill dishwashing liquid,DUZand bold detergent,LILt. ATWT had JOY and cheer,Search had Oxydol,GL had GAIN" with micro enzyme action" from Procter &Gamble
@orbit14915 from EDGE's very beginning in 1956, TIDE was featured prominently in most episodes and inserted into the main titles; either a static picture or filmed clip of the box of detergent atop a washer
I can remember my Mother watching all the soaps on CBS when I was very little, I remember having my afternoon nap while the organ music played during the soap operas my mother called them "My Stories" Now the only soap I watch is The Bold and The Beautiful. Plus unfortunately, there is one lone soap that films in New York. One Life To Live.
I want to thank robwargo for giving us the original EON closing! When they re-filmed the opening/closing sequence in color in 1967 using time-lapse photography it was the end of an era! Picture a 16 yr. old EON fan approaching Cincinnati on I-75 from Winchester, Kentucky with his beloved cousin, Miriam Lee. I had a fit! "Look, that looks like the beginning of "The Edge of Night!"
THE EDGE OF NIGHT was PERRY MASON (1943-1955) on radio. Kay Campbell played Effie Fritz (Ma Perkins Daughter from 1945-1960 on MA PERKINS (1933-1960) on radio.
My Mom watched all the CBS serials starting with LOVE OF LIFE, SEARCH FOR TOMRROW, THE GUIDING LIGHT, AS THE WORLD TURNS, SECRET STORM, and THE EDGE OF LIGHT. I remember during the summers trying to watch these shows but my Mom said she didn't want me getting hooked on them. When I was a teen, boys didn't watch soap Operas.
I always remembered this scene, showing a city at day time and then that 'diagonal' crossing .... showing the city at night. And then smack in the middle of that scenerio, a great big box of TIDE . . . their sponsor. LOVE IT !!!
I would love to go back in time and live through about a month and see all these old soap operas. My mom used to watch all of these soaps when they were on. Now She watches The Young and The Restless and The Bold and The Beautiful. B&B is the only one I watch now, since they took off Guiding Light.
my grand mother amy stewart never missed her favorite soap the edge pf night, this theme is so rich in nolstalgia its a period peice and i say that with the uttmost respect ou just dont hear themes like this todar it has history behind it and not because its old you want tp know how to make a soap theme with suspense and chrachter listen to this ron stewart also known as azzarroww
@marieds185 NO; as an economy measure, they simply erased or taped over the previous episode. what is really unbelievable is the fact that the cast roll and closing theme was on that day five seconds short of two minutes. today you can't see ANY of the actors names; don't know how the union allowed it; instead a shrunken screen and shouting promos for next or upcoming programs; haven't watched abc,cbs or nbc in years-thank God for PBS and "EastEnders" from BBC
Hear, hear; I totally agree! Now that most TV stations are fully digital and have what I call "sub" channels (such as, 5.1, 5.2, etc.), they can bring back not only the old soaps, but a lot of the old TV shows I grew up with and loved, and place them on these channels.
Harry Cramer was the best announcer. It seemed to me that CBS was embarassed by its daytime dramas; they rarely had on-air promos for them until it was too late. The geniuses at CBS destroyed their own in-house productions such as The Secret Storm,Love of Life and Love is a Many-Splendored Thing and then moved on to the P&G Productions by constantly fiddling with the time slots
Was this a piece of film someone shot way back in the 60s?? Or was this some kind of retro flash-back shown recently?? I'm really interested! And thanks for posting this---brought a few tears....
@robwargo A belated Thank You for shooting this video off the monitor! In my mind, I can see my mother ironing in the kitchen with the TV on, tuned to her favorite "story"......and she was wearing the proverbial house-dress. God rest her soul. And what a large party of my life gone by......
Mom NEVER missed her "stories". Just hearing this closing theme instantly takes me back to the 1960s. I can still see her in front of the old RCA television. She would do her ironing and watch The Edge of Night as if it was a daily ritual.
Very impressive for 1966 -- and I can't believe that very large cast for a 30 minute show. Must have been very high in the Neilsen ratings to manage all this. Isn't it sad that I never watched this show because there was so much extremely great television back then, but would pay to see it now as there's not much of anything on television. It kills me that these incredibly entertaining and long running shows are not available to either be viewed again or viewed for the first time.
The piano is so pretty in the original theme...very warm and soothing - especially on this chilly, rainy afternoon here in Los Angeles. This reminds me of the many afternoons when I'd come home from school and watch Edge with either my mom, grandmother or aunt.
I've always love to hear this "Opening and Closing Theme" of "The Edge Of Night". i was in the 2nd grade in Brooklyn Elementary School "PS 132" on Conselyea Street & Manhattan Avenue to come home to hear the theme, "The Edge Of Night" back in 1966.
Having grown up in Brooklyn, did you ever visit the studios where EON was produced? I assume they were in Manhattan. Did you ever meet any of the performers in person?
A connection between EDGE and ALL MY CHILDREN: Mary Fickett (Ruth Brent Martin) played two roles on EDGE. Ray McDonnell (Dr, Joe Martin) played Philip Capice and the late Kay Campbell (Kate Martin, Joe's mother) played Rose Pollock, Nancy Karr's mother.
Either way, I was only in the third grade back then. In fact, I remember being out sick from school earlier that week with an ear infection. But I did not see this show.
Incidentally, the actual airdate was Friday, April 15, 1966 (the 16th was a SATURDAY; I doubt if any CBS affiliates carried a "delayed telecast" of any of their daily soap operas on Saturday afternoons).
...Wow! Larry Hugo...was favorite Mike KARR (have never seen John Larkin in the role) when I finally decided to watch my grandma's show in the late 60s...though by now I've grown fond of Forrest Compton. EDGE's cast was huge!...Pity, I was too busy playing with toys & make-believe back then & had no interest in much of anything else save (strangley) a TV show called "HONEY WEST". I suppose I had a boyhood crush on the lead actress Anne Frances...
Would you please post a Color Edge closing from Late 1960's-Early 1970's.
I really enjoy when they did the credits showing the level eye view of the Cincinnati Skyline during the CBS Color Years between September 1967-November 1975.
@DJRakow Actually, I believe that such a post does exist. You'll have to search for it, however. I have seen it before . . . the one from the late 60s/early 70s -- before the same theme went to orchestration in 1974.
...Joseph Julian, Joe Silver; and notice up-and-coming actors Barry Newman, Hector Elizondo, Bill Macy and Lewis {J.} Stadlen! This was during the period when the series was seen at 3:30pm(et) every weekday...
The program usually had full credits on Fridays; organist/pianist Paul Taubman was a veteran of radio soap operas, so he "knew the territory". Lots of veteran New York character actors appearing in the cast: Mandel Kramer (also a veteran of radio soaps, and the last actor to portray "YOURS TRULY, JOHNNY DOLLAR" on CBS radio in 1961-'62), Teri Keane (the star of one of the last CBS radio soaps, "THE SECOND MRS. BURTON", in 1960) Walter Greaza, Mary K. Wells, John Gibson, Anthony "Tony" Roberts...
@fromthesidelines I'm amazed that actor Bill Macy shows up in the credits as a Cab Driver. Would love to have seen his performance. And I wouldn't have minded being in a cab driven by Bill Macy from his later fame as an actor.
harry cramer--the absolute best!
