The Guiding Plight (Part 1 of 7)

Around 1980, the cast of Guiding Light created this spoof of the show. Using current storylines and characters, they crafted these random scenes. Some are funnier than others, but it is neat to see some of the great characters back in the day.

This clip has the following scenes:

1. Amanda Wexler (soon-to-be Spaulding), Lucille Wexler, Ben McFarren

2. Floyd Parker, Katie Parker, Hillary Bauer

3. Opening Theme

4. Commercial Spoof

Got it from a friend of a friend. I think they made it for their Christmas party that year.

Had to watch this again. So hilarious! Love that Marsha Clark wrote and produced this.  Who knew Hillary Bauer was so funny?

These are a hoot. I was really sorry when Marsha Clark got killed off too. "She's making no sense." - "Does she ever?" "I think a stroke will do her good." "No, no, no" - "Well, maybe" Got to love Hillary and Floyd. Actually gotta love Hillary and anybody. Worst waste of a character ever when she was blown up.

I LOVE MARSHA CLARK! When she was killed off GL, that's when the show started to suck!

I am not surprised that Marsha made this. I recently read some of her writing, and she is one of the funniest people ever!

Marsha Clark (Hillary) did a great job making this film.  It was long before these parodies were commonplace. You are a pioneer, Marsha! What fun!

You got your wish. CBS has canceled the series. Final episode to air in September.
