GENERAL HOSPITAL (1978-1993 Opening Sequence)

I remember waking up from my nap and seeing this when I was 4 years old LOL

why ?

[bigmane1244]

boy i remeber this old theme

[Aspergian]

This theme had actually started being used in 1976, on Monday, July 26th of that year, not 1978.

This person is referring not to the theme music, but to this version of the visuals itself. The show's title began zooming out to this smaller size in 1978, after Gloria Monty took over as executive producer. (The 1975-78 version of these visuals had the title zoom out on the screen in a larger size.)

This was my mother's favorite soap. RIP. She couldn't get to the tv fast enough from the kitchen to the living room when this theme came on! LoL!

the good 'ole days of Daytime Dramas, the golden age, long gone, and it's a shame.

I like Faces of the Heart (which this theme was the inspiration for) but this theme is classic!!

My aunt told me when General Hospital came on, it was time to pick my cousin up from school. When the ambulance sounded and the music started, their dog Peppie would start barking and run to the door, She would take him with her.

Didn't ABC stop using this opening in 1987/'88?

[kdizzle79]

@MrJon76 Nope, they used this until late March of 1993

[kdizzle79]

@MrJon76 Actually, I have the date that they stopped using it: March 31, 1993

@kdizzle79 ?ABC dejó de usar esta presentación (apertura) en el 31 marzo de 1993?

[VaultMasterDBT]

You would actually think "Faces of the Heart" dates back to 1987/88?

[xxxWarriorGoddessxxx]

I wish they bring back this open, the new one is laaaaaaaaaaame!

[kdizzle79]

@xxxWarriorGoddessxxx I Very Much Agree

[25phillycheesesteak]

@xxxWarriorGoddessxxx Aunque esta telenovela está en la televisión?
