- The Edge of Night ended its long run on December 28, 1984. This is the closing credits to show number 7420 as it aired on ABC TV. Thankfully ABC did not ruin the music by airing an over the credits promo. This episode was taped on December 13, 1984. Video remains the property of Proctor & Gamble Productions, all rights reserved.
Almost 27 years and I STILL haven't gotten over the demise of the greatest television show of my lifetime . . . And in answer to timhomer2009, yes, the lovely and elegant Lois Kibbee was in Caddyshack.
My mom and I were there at the end. Hail and farewell, Edge Of Night. :-(
In Memoriam
Monday, April 2, 1956 - Friday, December 28, 1984
The edge of night. Ryan's Hope. All My Children. One Life to Live gone but not forgotten!!
my mother loved this soap ' RIP EDGE OF NIGHT"
This tune haunts my dreams. It is so foreboding.
Larry Sims reminds me of something secret I've kept down in the basement for years, come over some evening, I'll show it to you for free.
I never had a chance to watch "The Edge Of Night", but it seems like it was an outstanding series! I have read over the years that it was basically a daytime version of "Perry Mason" (when it was on radio), and that it was the first soap opera to have a large amount of male viewers! It would be nice if the remaining episodes were placed into syndication or available on DVD!
Michael Williams. It was basically the 1st "Guy Soap"!😄
32 years ago today , Edge faded. I wish it were still on the air and or brought back.
Hell yeah that was a great Theme Song! Plus it was ahead of it's time! One of my biggest Dreams is to one day see an updated big screen movie made of it.
This final show aired three days after Christmas 1984. WABC-TV (channel 7) usually had this until the very end. It was on around 4 PM before another non-network show was on 3 years after the "4:30 Movie" was cancelled in 1981. Channel 7 in NYC had so many changes after the show ended.
I loved this show! It hurt when they canceled it!
What a great theme!
It's something how EON and ATWT debuted on the same day in the same year on the same network produced by the same company P&G and now ATWT goes off 26 years behind EDGE.
I miss this show
Thanks for the memories
USA ran repeats of Edge and Search for Tomorrow many years ago.
I never saw that commercial at the end because my eyes were too full of tears. Thank you so much for posting this.
Out of the darkness,
One man. One machine.
Hold on tight!
The year of the "Street Hawk",
begins Next Friday at Eight-thitty, Seven-thirty central and mountain!
It was on CBS until 1975. ABC picked it up when CBS cancelled it.
It was, till the end of Nov in 1975, ATWT went to an hour, and CBS let Edge be the victim. ABC picked up Edge for the last 9 years it was on.
Edge of Night on CBS: 19 years, 7 months and 26 days.
On ABC: 9 years and 27 days.
How come there is not one edge of night soundtrack on either Google play or iTunes? Sad.
Unfortunately, only 106 ABC affiliates were the only ones that stuck with the soap in its final days. The majority that pre-empted it, including WISN/Milwaukee, WTAE/Pittsburgh and even WCVB/Boston, decided to air something else in the 4PM/3PM slot, which some saw as a death bed for any network show, which led to ABC giving up the the final half-hour back to its affiliates after EON's cancellation.
I'm thinking WSB Atlanta stuck with Edge to the bitter end. I know Edge aired on three different stations over the years: WAGA (the CBS years), WXIA (ABC from 1975 until the station switched to NBC in 1980), and WSB (September 1980-end, I think, although then-independent WATL may have run the final months).
From August 1982 through the very end (late December 1984), independent WPTT-22/Pittsburgh picked up EDGE on a one-day delay in the morning hours.
After ABC cancelled Edge of Night, the network rescinded the 4pm timeslot to affiliates.
That was the problem airing at 4pm can't get most affiliates to carry it. Most networks have gone to syndication
Oprah
I knew a Joe Phipps who starred in this show a long time ago. He was a good friend of mine but he died of AIDS in 1996.
In This Clip, From 0:00 To 2:13, It Was "The Edge Of Night" Video Close From December 28, 1984.
Bring it BACK
Our ABC affiliate in Boston never ran it. For a time, one of the independents picked it up, but that didn't last long either.
I vaguely remember the Street hawk series. I know the biker was some sort of vigilante. Somebody should do jazz cover versions of some of these old soap opera themes. Especially this one. It just sounds cool and lends itself to jazz.
Street Hawk starred singer Rex Smith ("You Take My Breath Away"), who later joined As The World Turns.
That's cool to know. I miss those days.
+Steve Walles ANd his sidekick (Joe Regalbutp) would go on to Murphy Brown.
IT DOES...if WE COULD ONLY HEAR IT!!! PLEASE upload these soap cues at ACCEPTABLE LEVELS.!!!
This has been The Edge Of Night, Fashions provided Lillie Ruben Southwest and Barney's, Furs by the Christie Brothers....Stay tuned for All My Children next on ABC
Did you live on the West Coast? I seem to recall Edge airing at 12 N (PT), an hour before the Eastern time zone had it at 4 and the Central time zone at 3.
please someone put this show on dvd or run it on tv again!!!!!!!!!!!
Would be neat to see Procter & Gamble partner with a infomercial producer (like Guthy Renker) do a "Best of Daytime Soaps" on DVD/Blu-ray, classic episodes and scenes from favorite P&G soaps, including EON, SFT, AW, ATWT, and GL... or one of the sub-channel networks (like MeTV, COZI, Antenna TV, etc.) air reruns of surviving episodes in what they could bill as "Soap Rewind" or "Love In The Afternoon Rewind".
@@erickirk6966- You're right it would be neat. But apparently, a rumour made by Colleen Zenk (Barbara, ATWT) has been spreading that P&G destroyed EVERYTHING in their soap library. It has NOT been confirmed yet and I hope that there will be an update on it soon.
"The Edge of Night" has been on ABC for a total of 30 outstanding seasons from April 1956 thru
December 1984. Wow, not bad for a classic soap opera but it's over and gone.
Actually was on CBS from 1956 - 1975, then moved to ABC :)
@@willmack5909 Anyway, 20 years on CBS, 1956 to 1975
with 7 months and 26 days.
10 years on ABC, 1975 to 1984 with 27 days.
Thanks for reminding me, Will.
very sad when this went off the air. i remember watching the last episode and was totally confused. it ended so abruptly. lma at the cheesy street hawk promo at the very end.
This show should have been given a second chance.
RAVEN/ SHARON GABET IS NOW ON FB! :)
Amanda Palamara. I imagine she is still a very beautiful woman!😃
What's FB?
I think Sharon went over to Another world shortly after Edge was cancelled though she is more remembered for Edge .

It had an amazing run and still lives on. You can't say that about many shows. ABC-TV didn't want to lose the show but since Procter & Gamble were pulling the plug they had no choice. ABC didn't own but leased the show. Just think if EDGE hadn't been cancelled where would Oprah be?
adelgado75. Very true!
@@rockyracoon3233 I wonder would have happened if ABC had bought "Edge" and been able to move its characters around for guest appearances on "RH," "AMC," "OLTL,"and "GH." Might it have built up some interest in the show?
ANNOUNCER FOR THE FINAL TIME
@Sheri451
They did... from Dec. 1, 1975 to this final ep. in 1984.
Question... it sounds like the theme actually hit its natural ending point (it wasn't on any kind of a "loop")... on any show where a pre-recorded closing theme reaches its end point before the credit roll is finished, do they just restart the music from the beginning, or do we just hear silence for the remainder of the credits?
Does anybody know what is replacing As The World Tuens is The Edge of NIGHT coming back?
how can this show get back on the air does anybody know?
Well that was strange. There you were, sad to see your soap end and then they try to sell you a "guy show" complete with roaring motor. Just what you want to hear when you are feeling sentimental.
Same type of thing when " One Life to Live" was cancelled. A show that barely lasted 6 months!! Lol
@radiodj1520
We know.
is isn't loud enough
I would think The Edge of Night had somewhat of a mystery theme to it, almost similar to Dark Shadows, even though both shows were not in any way related. A lot of our favorite daytime soaps have went away. With the recent announcement of Megyn Kelly going to NBC, I certainly hope that NBC doesn't touch Days of our Lives. We've got more than enough cheap talk shows, game shows, courtroom shows, and tabloid-gossip and viral video shows on the air, when all us soap fans want is stories.
Back in the old days, ABC, CBS, and NBC affiliates have had a thing for preempting network shows, including soaps. ABC: Early years of One Life to Live was preempted, much like the last 9 years of The Edge of Night was preempted. OLTL enjoyed 44 years on the air, and was getting better when it ended. Ryan’s Hope was another heavily preempted ABC soap. Sacramento market didn't carry Loving/The City and Port Charles. CBS: Seattle didn't air Capitol, and the early seasons of The Bold & the Beautiful. Sacramento dropped Guiding Light in 1992 like a hot potato. New York started the practice in 1993 of airing GL on a day late schedule at 10AM, taking it out of its 3PM slot. NBC: For a number of years, Boston and Sacramento didn't air Another World... Sacramento, along with San Francisco would pull AW in its last year or 2 on the air. Last 4 years of Search for Tomorrow was preempted.
I was surprised when As the World Turns and All My Children were axed. I can say that I was not shocked by Guiding Light and One Life to Live being canceled. GL had been in trouble for years. OLTL stayed only cause of the time slot between the more popular soaps AMC and GH
I do not watch Days of our lives but the soap is endangered of being cancelled I have seen their latest numbers they are as low as Guiding light during their final days and Days of are live is renewed until September 2018 if they cannot get their numbers up Nbc will not renew Days and cancel days. In 2009 Guiding light according to Wikipedia was getting 1.6 in daytime ratings and was dead last in the Nielsons Days of our live ended last season as low in the Nielsons at 1.6 if the ratings do not improve a whole lot Nbc will not renew Days and pull the plug on the long running program.
@@ericpurkey7502Now, NBC has transferred Days of Our Lives to its sister streaming service, Peacock to avoid network interruption due to breaking news and sports coverages.
Since then, The Young and the Restless is the only soap opera in the United States which have been not dropped by any CBS affiliates so far, unlike As The World Turns, Guiding Light, and even The Bold and the Beautiful.
