Unfortunately I didn't start watching them until the late 90s. I wish I had done so sooner, but As the World Turns was on the same time as Another World. These were some good shows and it was a travesty for CBS to throw them away when they were two oldest soaps on. They just didn't want to keep them around because Procter and Gamble owned them and the network couldn't mess with story lines. I only wish someone would have picked them up even if it was a smaller network like WB. They get most of their revenue from syndicated reruns, infomercials and local programming though. That's why they wouldn't pick up Another World when the producers spoke to them.
I do agree with you especially when the first line ever spoken on world turns '' Good morning dear'' by my dear friend Hellen Wagner Nancy Hughes and her son Bob end it with good night.
@@PrincesAzula bold and beautiful is just another cheesy version of Days of Our Lives with its silly capers and nonsense. It should have retired with Susan Flannery because she was the show.
I remember being at work watching this and being so sad. I had watched sine I was a little girl. Hard to believe it’s been 14 years. Some great actress have passed Lisa Brown, Katherine Hays the great Elizabeth Hubbard.
When this show went off the air I was heartbroken,spent many yrs watching it with my grandmother and then got my mom hooked after my grandmother's death,felt like I was losing my childhood
Me too,as a Teenager lady in the 1980s RIP to my mother and now RIP to my father. I surely do missed Television in the 70s,80s,even the 90s. Now all we have are those pesky reality shows and I no longer have Cable Television,because of all of those Reality shows.
I got hooked on this show when I was little and my Big Mama use to watch. You either sat down and did something quiet or you watched her "stories" with her. Happy happy memories.
My Dad just died. My Mom watched this from the beginning. It would have been their 64th anniversary today May 1st,2018. I wish it was still on for her to enjoy!!!
I watched the last week of this show for old times' sake back in 2010 - and WOW talk about a flood of memories. Hearing the voices again, the names of the characters, the music, all took me back decades to when my grandmother watched this every day. I could almost smell her perfume and the fresh linen out of the dryer again.
Hadn't thought about this show in years. I wish all shows had a finale that wraps up the story lines and gives viewers closure. Thanks for keeping this online. ATWT gave a lot of pleasure to a lot of people.
@@juliemccauslin5038yes exactly. I'm glad I'm not the only one. They keep doing the same storylines. Everyone wants to be the CEO. Boring. Time for it to retire
Same here. I wasn't able to watch all the time starting in the early '00s. I knew that the younger generation (Aaron, Alison, Luke, Faith, Lucy, et al) had become older, replaced by older actors, and now the focus. I knew Lily had been recast, and hopefully a successful one (after the mistake with Heather Rattray, no offense to the former family film teen star). But I was only able to watch once in a while and missed some excellent storylines, such as Luke and Holden's (presumed dead again) kidnapping. So tragic that Jen Munson, Julia Lindsey, and Rose D'angelo characters tragically died and were murdered respectively. Even more tragic when Ben Hendrickson committed suicide and Hal Munson was simultaneously killed off. I wish muscle-bound, moustached Duncan McKechnie (hunky Mike Swan) came back (Did he? Even for a guest appearance? Hopefully bare chested!). I heard Julianne Moore reprised the roles of Frannie and Sabrina again. It would have been nice to have Mary-Ellen Stuart and Claire Beckman, respectively, return as well! I loved them too!
Umm Julia Lindsey(Jack's X Wife,) Didn't die, she went nuts and fled Oakdale while in persuit by the cops. Julia Larrabee(Played by Sarah Joy Brown) was murdered. Glad Julianne Moore returned in April of that year but not alot of old vets came back for him the final year like Guiding Light...they had TONS of special guest returns! Martha Byrne should have been in the last episode as Lily minimum..no explanation need!! Rip Rose De Angelo.
Correction: Julia. Julie is referred to as Julie Wendell Snyder (Sue Marie Snyder), Caleb Snyder's (Graham Winton, RIP Mike Morrison, taken too soon) wife 2x. Julie also had flings with Tonio Reyes (Pete Boynton), Linc Lafferty (Jim Wicek, later Lonnie McCullough), Andy Dixon (Scott DeFrietas), and a one-night stand with Holden (Jon Hensley) resulting in Aaron. Correction: Moore.
Me too and its been a long time.. this and josh and revas always on the guiding light finale still kill me...such wonderful memories of nearly a lifetime of soap watching ❤❤❤❤❤
I refuse to watch anything on CBS anymore. The good shows they had are either gone or ruined. I wish this was still on. I've been watching a lot of old clips and story lines various people have posted on here lately and am so grateful for every single one. Thanks for not letting the show go completely. :)
I love this show and was so sad to see it go off of the air. I remember tears filled my eyes then and now when I watched it again. They had such great chemistry with all of the cast. Thank you for a wonderful and fun show to watch. 😢💙
I absolutely loved ATWT throughout the 80s. Thank god the VCR was invented, so I could tape the show and come home from school to see what I missed that day. Barbara was my favorite character. She never aged…always gorgeous. Also loved when Julianne Moore played Frannie and Sabrina. Seems like so long ago!!
Didn't need to be cancelled. Still had a solid cast and plenty of kids to grow up to build a next generation. Goutman had flaws, in 2010 everyone hated him and he hasn't worked daytime since, but he kept the show looking like it had a normal budget when in reality it was broke. Let's remember 2 years before cancellation ATWT was #3 so not so bad. Had CBS had the interest the show still had life in it.
watching this reminded me of those sick days on the couch with my mom..( She watched this religiously from the start...} just the two of us .. i miss her so ..... thank god we have this to reflect on and remembering is such sweet sorrow teary eyed and runny nosed i wish Bob and Kim and all the rest the best.
I watched all CBS soaps Young and the restless, Capital, Bold and the Beautiful As The World Turns and Guiding Light in which Guiding Light and As The World Turns were my favorites Y&R has gone down hill I miss my Guiding Light and AsThe World Turns whenever I watch these finales for Guiding Light and As The World Turns makes me cry my childhood memories I miss em
It's 5/25/22 and I hadn't thought about ATWT for a long while, but Katherine Hayes died this year. So so much has happened since ATWT went off the air. Had to find this and watch it today (the day after another tragedy) for some memories of a time long ago when life didn't seem so complicated and frightening. Maybe I'm glossing over the past, but I watched it as a youngster with my grandmother and then on my own raising family and then later and then it was gone. It's like a grew up with the families on ATWT. They tied up most of the loose ends so nicely leaving hope for the future. The title says it all - and we move on. But today I had to be there for awhile before the world turns again.
ATWT belonged to my grandma's "stories." When she would come to stay with us I would watch with her. It later became one of the soundtracks to my teenage years in the mid 80s (I started watching solely because of Jon Hensley).
Watched this since early 80's. Back when John was blind and James was about to kill him and the tables were turned. Great show. I disagree with comments that Lisa was short changed by not having better scenes. I feel the writers gave this show and all its remaining characters a proper send off. I've watched this finale several times now and it will never grow old.
I'm basically crying from the inside now that it's all ending.Thankyu for these amazing uploads.This whole adventure was awesome and now I'm going to replay every episode.Thankyu!:)
I remember my mother watching this show during the whole time Joyce and Lisa were fighting over Grant. That is when I basically got hooked for a little while. Being in my late teens in the mid eighties, I fell madly in love with the Snyders and the whole Lily, Dusty, Holden storyline. Is still remember the scene In the barn when Iva told Lily she was her real mother. Terrific acting by all involved. And who cannot forget John pulling Lucinda into the hottub fully clothed? Pairing those two together was perfect casting. I cried during this last episode, even though I had strayed from it for a long time. My only regret is that they didn't give Lisa more scenes, especially with Bob and Kim. Or in some way put more of the "vets" in some kind of a final scene together. But all in all, I really enjoyed how the ending turned out. Like the saying goes all good things must come to an end. Unfortunately
After all these decades Paul and Emily were meant to be always. Barbara finally accepts and congratulates them both. She's with Henry (funny) but I think everyone was where they finally need to be.
Now you know how us young fans felt in early April 1971 when we couldn't rush home anymore to see probably the most amazing and unique soap of all times Dark Shadows!!!
WOW this is hard. I watched the last episode yesterday of GL and tonight is ATWT. I miss my full daytime schedule on CBS. These two P&G soaps brought my family growing up and still as an adult a lot joy.
I MISS As the World Turns sooo much!! I want it back even after all these years, it was a show that I MUST watch after a long day at work; I taped it of course, and I still have some old episodes of Carly & Jack, Katie & Mike, and I so loved Paul & Meg - This soap opera was/is still in my heart and replacing ATWT & GL w/these horrible game shows is a slap in the face - SHAME ON U CBS!! I wish another channel would pick up where it left off, I watched ATWT w/my grandmother since I was 7 years old, I also watched Guiding Light as well and loved the story lines back in the 80's with Mindy, Beth, Rick & Philip. Amazing soaps especially my ATWT - BRING BACK PLEASE.
This was a good show. I don’t remember too much about it bc it went off air when I was a young, but I remember the day it went off air. I always loved Bob, Kim, Barb, Henry, and Lucinda. I remember having a crush on Katie. All good things must come to an end someday, however, I think this show had the perfect ending. Thanks for the great mem🌏ries
Daytime is already suffering with the hatred towards The View and the failing of The Chew and the cancelling of Jerry Springer (should of happen ages ago) and that just for starters. Women are now the growing numbers in the working class and don't have time to sit around and watch while the roast is cooking or dust the furniture while listening to their favorite soaps thus meaning the talk shows will suffer as well in the coming future. Ellen will keep herself on "top" but she'll never have the historical daytime ratings like Oprah. The Doctors will always be bringing in curious minds that want to self-diagnose or learn facts they'll never use plus the ladies will go for the hot, young doctor. Dr. Phil will stay since everyone will want to, again self-diagnosed their life problems and mental instabilities. Daytime is dead and Primetime isn't too far behind. Very few great shows left or recently new airing on free broadcast/ local channels. Not even Cable or Satellite is worth pay to watch as go for Netflix/ Hulu and Amazon subscriptions for orig. content that most suck in quality and interesting plots. Put it this way I whether watch the orig. Charmed or laugh at the heartwarming sometimes physical comedy of Laverne & Shirley over acts like the return of Will & Grace and Orange Is The New Black.
I sure do miss these good old days of good TV. Back then the television shows were so good. The writers had an incredible imagination to create shows to watch. Now there are so many “reality shows” that are not actually reality, but scripted. Those programs are so stooped, in my opinion. I really wish they could create television programs like they used to. Those sure were the good old days! ❤️❤️❤️
Can’t believe it’s been 9 years since this show left the daytime tv world. Still miss it. Used to watch this for my mama in the summer when school was out so I could give her an update (this was way before DVR and streaming video).
I wish that right before the final scene with Kim and Bob they would have had a scene with Lisa alone in her room. The telephone rings. Lisa answers. And a man on the other end says he is in town and would like to see Lisa. Then after a little conversation viewers might be able to figure out who the man is on the other end. It is Bennett Hadley!!! He says he has so much to talk to Lisa about after all those years. I think that would have been a nice ending for Lisa.
I Can Remember The As The World Turns , What A Wonderful Show And Cast As The Years Went On Though Years And Seasons Grow Some Go Like The Seasons Changing In Time And The Worlds Turns Goes On Like Life Julie
With CBS showing classic episodes, I have come back to this. This was my favorite soap with my all time favorite couple ever on it, Simon and Katie. I wish Paul Leyden could have come back for the finale so I could have seen the happy ending I longed for with Katie and Simon.
I was really disgusted by the lack of respect for the Lisa character in this final episode, who was an integral part of this soap's success in the glory years. Resigned to a hallway and being a third wheel for John and Lucinda? That was so utterly wrong. Eileen Fulton is a soap legend and she deserved preferential time in this finale.
They didn't treat Eileen Fulton very well in this last episode. Lisa was on the show almost from the beginning and she should have been with Bob at the end. They didn't even give her a happy ending like they did with most of the other characters.
You're right, she was an important character from the beginning, and she deserved to be treated as such. There were so many that came and went, but our regulars stuck thru with us. I thought it was a slap in the face, I remember feeling sorry for her. No happy ending for her. It's fine her and "Lucy" would go out as funny rivals, but goodness, that wasn't right.
Diana Riahi The producers and writers who drove the show into the ground during its final years were woefully incompetent, and had no idea what they were doing, unfortunately.
For more than 5 decades devoted fans welcomed the residents of Oakdale into their homes as they navigated marriages, breakups, and social issues on the beloved CBS daytime drama "As The World Turns". With its poignant storytelling and relatable characters, it won viewers hearts and 4 Emmys for outstanding daytime drama. And on September 17, 2010, they said good to ATWT for the last time.
And I think it was fitting that on ATWT they had Bob Hughes (played by Don Hastings) say the last words "Good night" when Nancy Hughes (played Helen Wagner) said the first words "Good morning, dear".
54 years on the air and yet it was a very sad day for all its fans. I too was a fan of another soap opera when I was a kid!! I used to run home from elementary school to see it in the afternoon and then one day it was suddenly canceled and it broke my heart. That soap opera was probably one best daytime television series ever created and lasted only 5 years. By now you probably guess it. It was none other than Dark Shadows.
"The Talk" is just a version of "The View" for lesbians. It kills me that they cancelled several soaps which had been on the air for decades (As the World Turns, Guiding Light, All My Children, One Life to Live) and replaced them with dumb shit. Just like prime time: cancel good shows, replace with crap.
Whitney Woodruff Just because you don't like those talk shows doesn't mean they are flops, unlike GL and ATWT during their “viewership decline” period (2006-2009 and 2006-2010, specifically), which was arguably the main reason why both soaps got the ax. 😉
@@gaffneyrailroading1982 The View had a few lesbians' themselves. The Talk's intent was women who were also MOTHERS. Still they have kept politicts to a minim unlike The View and because The View is the more political show, the news division of ABC handles the production now. The Talk is still handled by CBS Entertainment group.
I know so many people, including myself, who still miss ATWT so much and don't watch CBS daytime (other than Y&R and B&B) anymore since they killed ATWT and GL. And the terrible ending they gave Luke and Noah, the first gay supercouple ever that is still inspiring millions of fans all around the world today in 2013, was a shame! Bring ATWT back with better head writers and producers, and this show will draw much better ratings than the crappy talk show that "replaced" it (which has fallen far behind General Hospital, especially in the key demos, in the same time slot)!
***** Yeah, but I was talking about the US and the huge progress that the success of Luke and Noah made possible. There would have been no Kyle and Oliver and no Will and Sonny (who are going to have the first gay wedding on daytime TV within the next month) if there hadn't been the success of Luke and Noah!
***** Firstly, things take a bit longer on daytime soaps in general, secondly Luke/Noah were the first teenage gay couple on any soap, that's why they took a bit more time in the beginning. That doesn't say anything about the quality of the acting anyway, and Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann turned every second into something magic.
I really wished they would bring this and One Life to Live back! What has replaced these shows has ratings that are in the dumpster. I miss them both so much.
It's amazing how only two soap operas remain on broadcast television, and on ABC at that!! NBC shuttered "Days Of Our Lives" onto a "streaming service", and with their habit of reusing the same old plotlines (just adding new actors & actresses) I don't know how much longer people will bother tuning-in only to catch the same old story, just different people rehashing the same tired plotlines! I hope that dear, beautiful lady, Brenda Benet, is at peace. She was such a lovely woman! I miss her sweet face!
The music on this edition of the final episode is different than what was shown on the CBS network the show's final day, but I like it just as much. I was not a regular viewer of this show, but I think the writing for this episode shows a deep affection for the show and its characters. It was criticized by some, but I thought it was well done.
Very well done. I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Scott Holmes several years ago here in upstate NY. So very personable and down to earth!!!!!
@@broadcastcallum7046I agree with you. I recorded the original airing and the music was highly emotional in the original aired on CBS. It makes a big difference

Larry Brygmann and Elizabeth Hubbard were magic.
As were the late Kathryn Hays and Don Hastings. Love of each other's lives.
Guiding Light and As the World Turns were a big part of my life. I started watching them in the late 70's early 80's. I miss them a lot .
Me too. This and Y&R were my favorites.
Me too

Same, watching this and thr final episode of Guiding Light brings back so many memories❤️
To me, the final scene was one of the most emotional scenes in television history. 10 years later, I'm getting choked up just thinking about it.
So was mine
me too
@ProstheticVagina go f*ck yourself. If you're not a fan of these shows, there's no place for you here being rude to people.
I do agree with you especially when the first line ever spoken on world turns '' Good morning dear'' by my dear friend Hellen Wagner Nancy Hughes and her son Bob end it with good night.
Very emotional
Just cant believe how many beloved alumnis have died on this once amazing soap AT 🌎 Turns Rip ❤🌹
❤Ash
Who else past away
@@Countygirl Kathryn Hays (Kim Hughes) and Elizabeth Hubbard (Lucinda Walsh)
Too bad this soap won't ever return. One of my favorite soaps.
The best soap ever. Never should’ve been cancelled
The best soap is Y&R and The Bold and the Beautiful
@@PrincesAzula bold and beautiful is just another cheesy version of Days of Our Lives with its silly capers and nonsense. It should have retired with Susan Flannery because she was the show.
@@PrincesAzula no way. ATWT was the best one.
@@Boygonebad I agree but most of Americans do not agree with us, Y&R is for like more then 20 years number one soap in the states.

Two great shows that never should have ended!!!
And The World Continues To Turn.What A Great Soap Opera

Kindergarten and watch Y&R and the ATWT with my mom. David Hasselhoff was on Y&R then as Snapper Foster.
mama never missed an ep and I was right there with her
I got hooked on this show when I was little and my Big Mama use to watch. You either sat down and did something quiet or you watched her "stories" with her. Happy happy memories.

i dont know how bold and beutiful is still on but not this or guiding light!
its as the world turns not building light.
@d this show and Guiding Light had working class people, whereas the four remaining ones are mostly full of rich folk.
They were losing money and ratings.

This was my favorite. Watching in tears. I felt as if I grew up with them. So miss you ATWT
My grandmother used to love this show. She's been dead since 1984.

my earliest memories were watching all the cbs soaps with my mom she was heartbroken when atwt and gl were cancelled
Loved this soap opera for years. This was a family show, with a lot of every day challenges that they faced and conquered. I miss this show a lot.
They don’t make soaps like this anymore
This show and many others remind me of the good old days! I miss them!
Me to
After all these decades Paul and Emily were meant to be always. Barbara finally accepts and congratulates them both. She's with Henry (funny) but I think everyone was where they finally need to be.
Now you know how us young fans felt in early April 1971 when we couldn't rush home anymore to see probably the most amazing and unique soap of all times Dark Shadows!!!
The only soap I could really watch was Edge of Night because it came on at 3:00 after I got out of school
The last eposode of ATWT is the most emotional episode of all. I wish it comes back on tv!
WOW this is hard. I watched the last episode yesterday of GL and tonight is ATWT. I miss my full daytime schedule on CBS. These two P&G soaps brought my family growing up and still as an adult a lot joy.
I MISS As the World Turns sooo much!! I want it back even after all these years, it was a show that I MUST watch after a long day at work; I taped it of course, and I still have some old episodes of Carly & Jack, Katie & Mike, and I so loved Paul & Meg - This soap opera was/is still in my heart and replacing ATWT & GL w/these horrible game shows is a slap in the face - SHAME ON U CBS!! I wish another channel would pick up where it left off, I watched ATWT w/my grandmother since I was 7 years old, I also watched Guiding Light as well and loved the story lines back in the 80's with Mindy, Beth, Rick & Philip. Amazing soaps especially my ATWT - BRING BACK PLEASE.
I still get weepy watching this, even for the umpteenth time. Still miss it.
***** Me too, it was great, classy ending!
Me too I’m getting 😢teary eyes just watching this
As the 🌎 turns was a great soap. Rip
Saw this from beginning...loved it!...and miss it!.....a quality show-Nancy
My Mom watched this from the beginning...Flying to see her 2moro...Full of memories now...
I was upset when ATWT was cancelled also
Still think it was shitty that the writers didn't have Lisa in the last scene. She should of been there with Bob and Kim.
No, she shouldn't have. It wouldn't make sense.
It really should have been Nancy, but Helen Wagner didn't make it to the last episode :(
@@mrmurph5046 disagree….they were the oldest vets…and Lisa’s history with Bob drove storylines for decades
I love how Bob was narrating the whole episode :) Kinda missin ATWT now...
He was the only character around in the beginning of the show. Right?
This was a good show. I don’t remember too much about it bc it went off air when I was a young, but I remember the day it went off air. I always loved Bob, Kim, Barb, Henry, and Lucinda. I remember having a crush on Katie. All good things must come to an end someday, however, I think this show had the perfect ending.
Thanks for the great mem🌏ries
Miss atwt so much
RIP Kathryn Hays
Bring back our soaps , I hate daytimes Doctor and cooking shows , still love GH Y&R and Days of our lives ..
Daytime is already suffering with the hatred towards The View and the failing of The Chew and the cancelling of Jerry Springer (should of happen ages ago) and that just for starters. Women are now the growing numbers in the working class and don't have time to sit around and watch while the roast is cooking or dust the furniture while listening to their favorite soaps thus meaning the talk shows will suffer as well in the coming future. Ellen will keep herself on "top" but she'll never have the historical daytime ratings like Oprah. The Doctors will always be bringing in curious minds that want to self-diagnose or learn facts they'll never use plus the ladies will go for the hot, young doctor. Dr. Phil will stay since everyone will want to, again self-diagnosed their life problems and mental instabilities. Daytime is dead and Primetime isn't too far behind. Very few great shows left or recently new airing on free broadcast/ local channels. Not even Cable or Satellite is worth pay to watch as go for Netflix/ Hulu and Amazon subscriptions for orig. content that most suck in quality and interesting plots. Put it this way I whether watch the orig. Charmed or laugh at the heartwarming sometimes physical comedy of Laverne & Shirley over acts like the return of Will & Grace and Orange Is The New Black.

I sure do miss these good old days of good TV. Back then the television shows were so good. The writers had an incredible imagination to create shows to watch. Now there are so many “reality shows” that are not actually reality, but scripted. Those programs are so stooped, in my opinion. I really wish they could create television programs like they used to. Those sure were the good old days! ❤️❤️❤️
This show was replaced with The Talk.
Can’t believe it’s been 9 years since this show left the daytime tv world. Still miss it. Used to watch this for my mama in the summer when school was out so I could give her an update (this was way before DVR and streaming video).
I wish that right before the final scene with Kim and Bob they would have had a scene with Lisa alone in her room.
The telephone rings. Lisa answers. And a man on the other end says he is in town and would like to see Lisa. Then after a little conversation viewers might be able to figure out who the man is on the other end. It is Bennett Hadley!!! He says he has so much to talk to Lisa about after all those years. I think that would have been a nice ending for Lisa.
Loved this show. Family!!!!
They should have brought back Frank Runyeon and Meg ryan as steve and betsy.
Classic 80s
The old soaps made in NYC always seemed to have dimmer lighting and drab sets then the west coast soaps.
I watched every day since I was a young girl. I love seeing them again as an adult. ❤
I Can Remember The As The World Turns , What A Wonderful Show And Cast As The Years Went On Though Years And Seasons Grow Some Go Like The Seasons Changing In Time And The Worlds Turns Goes On Like Life Julie
With CBS showing classic episodes, I have come back to this. This was my favorite soap with my all time favorite couple ever on it, Simon and Katie. I wish Paul Leyden could have come back for the finale so I could have seen the happy ending I longed for with Katie and Simon.
Pluto should have a channel for all of the soaps!
I hate that they took this show off and almost every other one as well I miss my family they do become a part of your life
Was Glad to Watch that Last Episode in October 2010.
As The 🌎 Turns Best outstanding Daytime Drama 🏆 1987 1991 2001 2003
Seven years since the world stopped turning
My Mother loved this show.
I really miss this show and Guiding Light. I wish they would bring them back. In my opinion GL and ATWT were better than Y&R.
GH is still on an the best 👌 13 time Emmy winner best daytime drama series
I miss them also! I’m so glad I found this! Thank you so much for posting this!!!
Y&R is boring!
I was really disgusted by the lack of respect for the Lisa character in this final episode, who was an integral part of this soap's success in the glory years. Resigned to a hallway and being a third wheel for John and Lucinda? That was so utterly wrong. Eileen Fulton is a soap legend and she deserved preferential time in this finale.
They didn't treat Eileen Fulton very well in this last episode. Lisa was on the show almost from the beginning and she should have been with Bob at the end. They didn't even give her a happy ending like they did with most of the other characters.
They had treated Fulton like an irrelevant, unwanted extra for many years before the show was canceled.
You're right, she was an important character from the beginning, and she deserved to be treated as such. There were so many that came and went, but our regulars stuck thru with us. I thought it was a slap in the face, I remember feeling sorry for her. No happy ending for her. It's fine her and "Lucy" would go out as funny rivals, but goodness, that wasn't right.
Diana Riahi The producers and writers who drove the show into the ground during its final years were woefully incompetent, and had no idea what they were doing, unfortunately.
Sad
Diana Riahi Yes, but at least we can watch many, many vintage episodes of the show here on youtube.
For more than 5 decades devoted fans welcomed the residents of Oakdale into their homes as they navigated marriages, breakups, and social issues on the beloved CBS daytime drama "As The World Turns". With its poignant storytelling and relatable characters, it won viewers hearts and 4 Emmys for outstanding daytime drama. And on September 17, 2010, they said good to ATWT for the last time.
That was a wonderful ending!!!
At least As the World Turns had a great last scene of the globe turning and Guiding Light showed a lighthouse in it's final shot.
And I think it was fitting that on ATWT they had Bob Hughes (played by Don Hastings) say the last words "Good night" when Nancy Hughes (played Helen Wagner) said the first words "Good morning, dear".
I remember waiting As The world Trun & GL.
With My Mom & my Grandmother when was a litte boy. Back in The 70 .
37:10 - In Memoriam: 1956-2010... 😭
Premiered on the same day as _The Edge Of Night._
54 years on the air and yet it was a very sad day for all its fans. I too was a fan of another soap opera when I was a kid!! I used to run home from elementary school to see it in the afternoon and then one day it was suddenly canceled and it broke my heart. That soap opera was probably one best daytime television series ever created and lasted only 5 years. By now you probably guess it. It was none other than Dark Shadows.
Still watching this in 2019😔😔😔
I didn’t know that it’s only been 10 years since this was over . I’ve been watching this since the mid 70’s into the 80’s and lost track .
I miss ATWT and GL they should of not bring the Talk on in the 1st place
"The Talk" is just a version of "The View" for lesbians. It kills me that they cancelled several soaps which had been on the air for decades (As the World Turns, Guiding Light, All My Children, One Life to Live) and replaced them with dumb shit. Just like prime time: cancel good shows, replace with crap.
I wonder could they ever bring these shoes back
Whitney Woodruff Just because you don't like those talk shows doesn't mean they are flops, unlike GL and ATWT during their “viewership decline” period (2006-2009 and 2006-2010, specifically), which was arguably the main reason why both soaps got the ax. 😉
@@gaffneyrailroading1982 The View had a few lesbians' themselves. The Talk's intent was women who were also MOTHERS. Still they have kept politicts to a minim unlike The View and because The View is the more political show, the news division of ABC handles the production now. The Talk is still handled by CBS Entertainment group.
@@MyahUnleashed B&B had more eyeballs...sorry.
I know so many people, including myself, who still miss ATWT so much and don't watch CBS daytime (other than Y&R and B&B) anymore since they killed ATWT and GL. And the terrible ending they gave Luke and Noah, the first gay supercouple ever that is still inspiring millions of fans all around the world today in 2013, was a shame! Bring ATWT back with better head writers and producers, and this show will draw much better ratings than the crappy talk show that "replaced" it (which has fallen far behind General Hospital, especially in the key demos, in the same time slot)!
***** Yeah, but I was talking about the US and the huge progress that the success of Luke and Noah made possible. There would have been no Kyle and Oliver and no Will and Sonny (who are going to have the first gay wedding on daytime TV within the next month) if there hadn't been the success of Luke and Noah!
***** Firstly, things take a bit longer on daytime soaps in general, secondly Luke/Noah were the first teenage gay couple on any soap, that's why they took a bit more time in the beginning. That doesn't say anything about the quality of the acting anyway, and Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann turned every second into something magic.
Ten years. Ten damn years. Still too hard to understand and believe.
Luke's scene was so touching... Miss LuRe so much.
They're my favorite ship name.
Whent back and watched the last episode me and my sister was talking about ATW . 😒😒 Love seeing all these people again .
Best show ever since the last time 90
I really wished they would bring this and One Life to Live back! What has replaced these shows has ratings that are in the dumpster. I miss them both so much.
It's amazing how only two soap operas remain on broadcast television, and on ABC at that!! NBC shuttered "Days Of Our Lives" onto a "streaming service", and with their habit of reusing the same old plotlines (just adding new actors & actresses) I don't know how much longer people will bother tuning-in only to catch the same old story, just different people rehashing the same tired plotlines! I hope that dear, beautiful lady, Brenda Benet, is at peace. She was such a lovely woman! I miss her sweet face!
@@Joe-ix5hjwho shoved a stick up your ass?
The best episode off as the world Turns love itt ♡♡greats from holland
I also met and talked with Mark Lewis. A super nice, personable, and very down to earth gentleman and class act!👍🙂
Sure miss ATWT and GL
They should have never taken them off air 💔
They take off the wrong soap
They should offer this on on a streaming service.
The music on this edition of the final episode is different than what was shown on the CBS network the show's final day, but I like it just as much. I was not a regular viewer of this show, but I think the writing for this episode shows a deep affection for the show and its characters. It was criticized by some, but I thought it was well done.
Anyone know why the music is diff in this version (think its better than the CBS original)
Very well done. I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Scott Holmes several years ago here in upstate NY. So very personable and down to earth!!!!!
@@broadcastcallum7046I agree with you. I recorded the original airing and the music was highly emotional in the original aired on CBS. It makes a big difference
@@ddodgerfan18 Heard both versions but really like the music particuarly at the end better on this!
