Reminds me of sitting with mom and grandma Helen and all three of us drinking percolated coffee when I was little in the 70s, with them smoking cigarettes on the dialed color console TV in her living room, listening to them talk, eating Luden's menthol cough drops until I'd get yelled at by mom not to eat them all and these soaps coming on TV in her spotless pink stucco house in Kansas City Kansas.
Sounds about right.
Calling all fans of Love Is A Splendored Thing, how about more episodes of this Soap?
Awesome quality! I wish all of these archives looked liked this
When I see that beautiful bridge I hear this theme song!
Exactly! lol! I can't believe it went off the air way back in 1973!
Another interesting tidbit most daytime serials abandoned using the theater organ theme and background music by the early 1970's. The last soap to make transition to orchestral music from organ was General Hospital 1976 when both it and One Life To Live expanded to 45 minutes formats after the Summer Olympics.
My mother used to watch this.
Yes CBS did the most soaps and the most Emmy wins of any network , now, ABC is winning all the emmys
Nice post! And I love the CBS "eye" of 1970!
RIP to Han Suyin, who, with her novel, "A Many Splendoured Thing" started the ball rolling with the movie Love is a Many-Splendored Thing and this show. She passed on at the age of 95.
I remember that Love Is A Many Splendored Thing and Where the Heart Is ended broadcasting on the same day on CBS network. I think it was about March 20, 1973. The Young and the Restless premiered the following Monday. In 1974 The Secret Storm was cancelled.
CBS was really starting to cut their soaps by 1973/74, but actually it started back in September of ‘72 when CBS moved “Edge of Night” from its slot 3:30 time slot to 2:30 losing a large portion of its audience after being one of the highest rated soaps, then falling to near the bottom in a given season 1972-73, and of course those were the last seasons for “LIAMST” and “Where the Heart Is” and “Secret Storm” was on borrowed time to only lasting almost a year ending in February ‘74, then CBS canceled EON in ‘75.
Michael Francis When I was a little girl (years before kindergarten), I stayed with a babysitter who watched all these soap operas on CBS. I knew this lineup was on long before "The Young and the Restless" was even on the air. Back then, I learned to tell time, by which show was on TV. This was in the spring of 1972, and before. My sister got out of school at 2:30 and walked over to pick me up. Every time I saw the lighthouse from "The Guiding Light", I knew she was on her way to get me from the babysitter's house. This soap opera "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" came on right before Guiding Light.
Long ago, CBS had the slogan "Where The Good Times Are" wish they would bring those times back
It seems CBS had more soaps than any other network
Although short lived I wish to see more of LIAMST , any more post?
RabbitEarsRedux: do you have more Love Is A Many Splendored Thing episodes or clips?
Does anyone know of anyone selling the kinoscopes(or at least clean copies on dvd)?
i remember there being a young actor on the show playing the son of a man who might get convicted of a crime and sent to the gas chamber.
That is so cool. Do you have any other memories of the show?
It's a shame the networks didn't foresee the value in preserving these shows. "Wiping" destroyed a lot of TV history.
Anyone remember Drive detergent (Lever Brothers' entry in the Great Enzyme Detergent Rush of 1969-70)?
WHO IS THE ANNOUNCER
As a kid, I thought this was the raciest thing I had ever seen, especially when the drunk guy thought his sister in law was his wife and got her pregnant.
