@barryt60 Excellent idea! I always thought they should have taped Miss Wagner early (once they realized she was failing) sitting on a bed and saying goodnight dear into a bedside phone. And then when they taped the scene much later at the end with Bob, he could have said "goodnight mom' and they could have spliced her scene in next saying "goodnight dear". THAT would have blown my mind! Why aren't these "executives" more creative???

@HoneyLove210 Hell no... the show was done live from 1956 to 1975... and as far as I know, P&G didn't start saving their tapes until about 1978...
-
Soo do they have all the episodes from 1956 on down on dvd?

This is exactly the music and credits that should have rolled after the final words Bob Hughes whispered when he said "Goodnight" in the last scene of the program. I actually thought it was coming... how perfect it would have been - with that globe on his desk slowly morphing into this one..... Oh well.....

@Robert4770 Beautiful and regal are two of the absolute best words to describe this theme. I truly miss this soap. Losing it has left a permanent void in televison.

@softwater88 I agree, I'm 27 and am so tired of reality tv!!! They always get rid of the good shows!

That's your Opinion, But Hogan Sheffer brought this soap back to life.

@jmjfanss 1999 (after 21 years) is when I could no longer stomach this once magnificently interesting soap. It turned into either the Jack and Carly hour, or the Rose and Lily hour, or the Katy and Simon and Henry hour. It was beyond awful and it NEVER found its way back!

@grhdanny That younger announcer who stayed on with ATWT until the end of July 1998 was Dan Region
-
@notthefather That's Dan McCullough, the frst announcer on ATWT! McCullough retired in 1982 to make way for the other ATWT announcer, Dan Region, who left in 1998!
The beautiful and regal opening so fit this show. It was the one all others were compared to both critically and ratings wise. I have been watching since 1965 and can't believe it will be gone.

Really too sad to see this soap go. I stopped watching in 1981, but it was always there. CBS is stupid, and the writers of ATWT are stupid trying to appease to the under 30 Starbucks/cell-phone crowd. On the other end of that spectrum is the baby boomer market which should be appeased/addressed also. Nowdays, there are a lot more viewing choices at 1:00pm Mon-Fri. Especially if one has cable/internet/satellite. I swear to God we don't need another reality show ! ! !
