This was the 1st GL theme i remember seeing. It's still cool!
-
it's been going to shit since the real world came out in 1992, you can blame that show from MTV for that.
-
I like how Tony's karate kick synch in with that red siren flash.
-
I loved these years on GL. The Lewis/Spalding/Bauer drama was at its best during the 80s.
-
@Mascro1977 You are telling the truth. But i sometimes called it the Cassie and Reva Show. "Always Reva!" Always Bud!"
-
boy GL was Good until it was turned into The Reva Show with Josh by her side
-
@en9nui Ok,ok,ok so that is nice to know.But I still loved the theme when it changed to a more symphonic sound than the disco era music.The music was not perfect.I,to this day would take the symphonic background music sound over the disco music,anyday and with some of the character montages they showed,not all.

@thia912002 Calendar '79 marked GL's peak in quality. The shift of focus away from the Bauer family began under writer D. Marland, who introduced Josh and Trish Lewis in '81 and more or less turned the show over to the Reardons in '82. Marland left the story in such disarray that by '83 exec. producer Gail Kobe had little choice but to overhaul the show. At least the Kobe regime, for all its faults, discarded this "disco" opening.

@goomannc Yeah,but when Nola met Quinton McCord that changed her360 degrees around for the better.

@sweetlilchickie1985 Gregory Beecroft who played Tony Reardon.
It's sad a once great soap like GL ended because of crappy writers. The last year of GL was a joke! Look at TV over all, nothing much worth watching. Far too many so-called stagged "reality" shows. Once TV gave us classics like I Love Lucy, Voage to the Bottom of the Sea, The Doctors, Guidling Light, Julia, Good Times. Now all we get is How'd You Get So Rich, Jersey Shores, Say Yes to the Dress and Bridezillias. I don't think that in 40 years the latter will be considered "classics"

We wil always have memories of the show and the openings of seasons. After September comes and the show goes off the air we will always remember Guilding Light. For all 72 years of it,the longest soap on tv. Well will miss it big time.
