My Mom was a huge fan of Guiding Light, shes sorry to see it go, but all of these soaps are going down the drain. I watch All My Children and Days of Our Lives, Days especially has sucked the last few years, that is probably the next show to go

When i was a kid, I would get off the school bus and rush in the house to watch “General Hospital”. I had a crush on “Jessie” the nurse all through third grade.

I left it all behind by fourth grade.

I watched it from junior high through college. Sad to see it go.

The days when one television show would garner a big portion of the American public are over.

I am not sure I have ever seen the TV show but can remember it being on radio when we lived in Panama City, in the early 50’s.

I don’t think anyone in our family really kept up with it but it was on the station we usually tuned it to. I can still recall the organ music. Also another one called “The Edge of Night”, during the same period.

“Voyage to the Bottom of the Garbage Can”

Back on 02 I got hooked on Passions for a year.

It was the craziest show I've ever seen.

Timmy the living doll was priceless and we laughed at his antics daily. One day he could be a Roman Centurion or the next day a hasidic jewish Rabbi. It was great fun.

RIP Josh

Guiding Light, television’s longest running soap opera, ended a 72-year run on Friday

Is Oprah big enough to fill the MASSIVE void? One can only assume...

Back in 1963, I was 4 years old & was watching this soap with my Grandmother when Commie Uncle Walter came on & said that the president had been shot.

I still remember that.

I never could get into soaps. My Mom’s a big fan of them, and so is my Wife, but everytime I’ve watched one, I just couldn’t get past the hokey, over the top acting and plots so patently ridiculous that they were embarrassing.

To each his or her own, I guess.
