The opening and end titles for a 1974 episode of Edge. Hal Simms was either sick or on vacation as we have an alternate announcer, who does a very poor job, in my opinion. He definitely needs to work on his delivery of the title. Around this the time, the same announcer subbed for Dwight Weist at Search for Tomorrow, and it was most distracting. Cast crawl is featured.

  • I thought the Price is Right was on at 10:30 at this time? It was still a half hour in '74. What time did Price air?

  • @smpage09 Price is Right moved to 3:00 Eastern/ 2:00 Central on March 26, 1973, when CBS cancelled Where the Heart Is and Love is a Many Splendored Thing. The $10,000 Pyramid debuted that day in TPIR's old time slot. Price is Right moved back to the morning on November 3, 1975, where it has remained.

  • Did that last thing the man said mean the program was still being filmed live, except for a small portion taped?

  • @Sheri451 Edge was still telecast live in 1974, with no taping at all UNLESS it was a special circumstance. This episode aired live, but it included a flashback to a murder that occurred two months earlier. The scenes of the murder -Taffy Simms shot while struggling over a gun- were pre-taped and dropped into the live telecast.

  • "A portion of this program was prerecorded"? I thought all daytime shows were on tape before that time...not a portion.

  • No. Edge and As the World Turns retained live broadcasts until 1975.

  • And Dixie Carter as Brandy Henderson! Where was I and why wasn't I watching?? Dammit!

  • That looks like Cincinnati, Ohio.

  • @MrSammyReed I know EXACTLY what you mean. When I was younger, this opening scared me to death too.

  • @saynotoursoap That took some very good acting ability. Especially if you had to cry. Too bad they don't broadcat live anymore. I watched One Life To Live fifteen or more years ago when they went live for a week. Cassie Depaiva who plays Blair was really good in the scenes she was in.

  • Daytime, Nightime. Today nothing on television tops the intricate stories The Edge of Night used to tell. Too bad.

  • @MrSammyReed Hi Sammy - Man, Edge's opening/closing visuals used to spook me, too. The original black and white visuals are even spookier!
