Where do you get these episode pieces?

[patc2000]

I traded for these--

[priscilla4957]

For me this brings memories of my mom in the late fifties my mom will not go anywhere until she watched her soaps I was 6 yrs old The series was only 15 minutes

[patc2000]

Same here--We had our stories to watch lol

[TimsDale4ever]

Even though the black and white years of the 50's and 60's seems staid now, the writing technique was flawless combined with the settings -- long conversation scenes with people (of all ages) actually in their HOMES doing ordinary things. I miss that style that lasted even through most of the 90's.  Now, it's nothing but boring teenagers sitting around in a bar or pub, yapping on cell phones, or God forbid, looking at their lap tops. Daytime has just lost so much....

Wow! Does anyone remember when there was "Ivory Snow" and "Ivory Flakes"? I always liked the box cover, with the little snowman on it.

Love that Nancy is cooking a pot roast in a dress, pearls and an apron. Wow, Dr. Bob smokes?! In the kitchen?! Another era but love it just the same.

[CarlD2]

Look at Bob casually smoking in the Hughes kitchen! Talk about old school.

I didn't know soaps used flashbacks at this time. For some reason I wasn't sure if they had the technology.

[CarlD2]

@TimsDale4ever Totally agree. Now soaps sneer at their viewers and like to pretend they are so superior to simple moments. And they just shrug as viewers flee in droves while no one replaces them.

[wshIcldstrtover]

This gets to your eyes after watching it for a few minutes. Isn't there any better quality of this, out there?

[williambrown007]

At 6:33, thats the where Bob sits at the kitchen table was the classic scene that was part of the 1996 40th anniversary montage at the 6th saga where the theme was Count On Me by Whitney Houston and CeCe Winans.

Funny but I had the same experiences as some of you below. My mother would watch ATWT every day and even refused to talk to anyone on the phone if they called when it was on.

I too recall the Lisa/Bruce storyline when I was a kid and my mother "trying" to explain it.

When Ellen had Dan "out of wedlock" my mother also used to ask my Dad if it was "ok for me to watch the show," just like the poster below.

None of this did anything except arouse my curiousity more.

[Nickspks]

I also remember watching this show with my mother glued to the screen, over lunch each day I also recall her asking my father if certain subjects were "ok for my sister to be subjected to," but they never turned off the tv.

I still remember the Bruce/Lisa storyline, even though I was only 8 years old at the time

[Soapking1965]

ATWT and THE EDGE OF NIGHT were the first 30-minute soaps. They both premiered on CBS on April 2, 1956.
