  • No I think thats closer to 1966 than 1956. Look at the label for Ivory liquid. Too modern to be from 56.

  • Pardon for the correction, but if you notice the Ivory Liquid commercial bumper, that opening was in 1966. Anyway, thanks for posting this clip.

  • @cdbschs77 Guiding Light did not go to color until fall of 1967. This was the year I started kindergarten, and only went to school half day, from about noon until 2:15. GL aired in the morning, here on the West Coast. I recall it going off just before I would leave my grandmother's house for school. GL still ran for 15 minutes back then.

    I remember all of those episodes being in color. GL went from the visuals we see here to a plain blue background, with the logo in a gothic font.

  • This opening footage appears in the movie "The Help." It may not have been the exact opening, but certainly, the same visuals. It was amazing how positively the audience responded. It was a very pleasant surprise. 

  • 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

  • @TheWhatsinaname Some people need to really get their facts straight before posting here on youtube!

  • @dcat918 That's not what classicGL meant. The actual opening (not part about Ivory Liquid) was used in both a August 1960 (the 1 in which a teenaged Mike Bauer is on trial for murder of Karl Jannings) & a September 1963 (the 1 in which Hope Bauer was born which is on youtube) episode that I watched on World Of Soap Themes. It's quite likely the actual opening was used in 1956 (of course not Ivory part).

  • If I call collect, do you think they'll accept the charges? LOL! Do they even have collect calling anymore?

  • People Call Les Moonves and let him know you are not happy about Guiding Lights cancelation . Please call and ask to leave a message about it 212-975-4321
