I know. It brings back so many memories of days gone by. Families could live on one worker's salary, and women stayed home to be homemakers. Even the commercials are gold! I wonder why the episodes were destroyed.
I think, at the time, the producers and network did not think the shows had any rerun potential, so the tapes were erased for reuse.
@@MoviecraftInc Certainly a bad call and a false economy. Sitting on a potential goldmine and they didn't even know it. Besides, they have cultural significance. But, I digress...
Even TV seemed better back then!!
I agree
These episodes are so rare. Most copies were destroyed.
I wonder why they were destroyed
Mandel Kramer and Teri Keane were such good actors. They were both trained in radio for many years. Teri Keane is still alive at age 96, at this writing. Love the organ and piano theme music too. It was always played live, and now and then you could hear a mistake. I got interested in EON as a kid after school in the early 1970s and tuned in "each weekday afta-noon."
Teri Keane died at age 97 on November 17, 2022.

@Gary Freedman I didn't know that. What a wonderful actress she was. Did not know she was married to John Larkin, the 1st Mike Carr on EON.
Paul Taubman was the composer of the opening and ending theme. I’m sure he probably composed some of the insert themes throughout the show also. Elliot Lawrence is also a composer on this show too. My great nana loved this show and had episodes of it on VHS tape too. So we would rewatch episodes with her in the early 90’s lo hated it then. Hate it now but it reminds me of fond memories with he. RIP great nana aka MAHMAW
The same here. My siblings and I would watch EON each day after school.
They don't make soaps like they use to.
Back when soaps were enjoyable!
Love these old soaps. Brings back so many memories. My Mom and I started with "As the World Turns" at noon, "Secret Storm"? the "Edge of Night" every day...
Same with my mom, and Search for Tomorrow.
Same here. With us, it was the Young & the Restless.
This is back when it was live!
That's' true! It would be cool to see the bloopers and the clips that ended up on the floor.
Love these old commercials. I was 4 years old when this originally aired. My mother loved her soap operas.
Glad you enjoyed it
I remember “Liz” and I was 6yrs old when this aired. I watched for the commercials and grandma watched for the drama. Ken Berry for Kellogs. Thrill didn’t last. We only buy French’s mustard and their mashed potato processing plant was a 1/4 mile from our house.
My mom watched soaps as she ironed a bunch of clothes! I remember the theme songs to the soaps, but I never watched them until 1970. I remember Teri Keane as Naomi, on One Life to Live... I Knew I recognized her when I just saw this episode of The edge of night!!! BTW, one of my Mom's best friends since High School was, Terry Keane !!!
Me too. Remember the smell of the iron? And that ticking sound lol? My mom watched As The World Turns".. at 4 yrs old ... I hated it! Lol, but I was a clingy child and just wanted to be right up under my mom at all times if possible.
Mre? I liked Sesame Street and The electric company.. but Mr Rogers most of all.
Wow. Ken Berry Corn Flakes commercial. Cute! Part of the fun of watching these old shows is watching the old commercial breaks and station identification announcements.
I agree.
So true.
Downtown Cincinnati OH shown in all its glory .
James Mitchell--future Palmer Cortlandt!!
TV and radio was a lot better back then.
Now we get reality TV.
So nice to see these classics
...Not to mention hearing that great music played on organ and/or piano.
i remember my mom watched it from 1964ish until 1970 when she went back to work fulltime, then when i was a senior in high school 1979 - 1980 my bestfriend got me into watching it again, it was on from 3pm - 330pm i lived 5 minute bike ride from the school so if i hurried i could watch the whole show. In college i was usually home by 3pm or recorded it with a VCR, when it went off the air in 1984, i was really bummed out
I watched G.H., All my children, and One life to live, starting at the age of 14...(Feb vacation, & snow days off !!). Then, when my 3 daughters were in Jr. High & high school, they'd watch them on days off & summer vacation. By That time, I knew the characters really well !! I'd recite Their lines B4 They did!! My kids would say, "Mom ! How did you Know that ??!" . I'd tell them, I've been watching this since I was your age !! & Now I'm at work, & haven't seen these in years, but when I do see them it's still like I picked up where I left off !!! I remember Victoria Lord, on One Life to Live. She was always giving a condescending speech to someone. I'd come into the room & say, "Vickie knows All!!! Vickie knows All !!!" in a sarcastic tone !!!
Even the commercials were entertaining back then. That's a young Ken Berry in that Kelloggs Corn Flakes ad.
Yes! they sure were! Unlike nowadays talking about sickness and dying!!
I loved this soap! Thanks for posting this one from the sixties! And the commercials were a hoot! Thrill Dishwashing liquid? And who knew French’s made mashed potatoes?!
Our pleasure!
That was my mother's favorite soap opera when I was a little boy
LOVE ‘Edge’!
Yes, that's Ken Berry in the first Kellogg's commercial.
I guess P&G hadn't introduced Hidden Magic yet, so they were willing to sell time to the Toni Company for Adorn.
I loved this show. It was different from the others. Murder mysteries and couples that stayed together. I was going to name my daughter Laurie Ann after Mike and Nancy Karr's daughter but my sister in law beat me to it. So she ended up to be surprise twins, Jackie and Wendy. When they switched to ABC our local station didn't carry it. My neighbor girl had cable and could watch the Ohio station and would give me reports.
It was different
Good episode despite not having the main families present. I hope that they’ll be more episodes from the 60’s.
If only the early 70*s episodes were on YT.
Oh my! Thank you very much! If you have any more classic soap episodes, please do share them with us! Thank you!
Sure thing!
@@MoviecraftInc Any chance on finding old Edge of Night episodes prior to 1979?
@@ziggy12657 This is the only 16mm film we have of The Edge of Night, but of course, we are always on the lookout for more.
LOVE listening to these old soaps, they remind me of my great-grandma
i remember my grandmother watching as the world turns the guiding light secret storm the edge of night and at 4:00 every afternoon perry mason.if something was sad you could see her making sad faces if something was happy she would smile
Neat to see Mandel Kramer on TV d.w.
This show is why so many girls in the mid 70's were named Nicole.
I just came across your channel today and all I'm going to say is: I'm hooked!! Really enjoyed everything I've watched so far!!!
Welcome aboard!
@@MoviecraftInc Q: Do you remember which classic soap opera featured a storyline where many of the main characters got in a bus crash, most of them died and the whole show was softly “rebooted” with their relatives who came to town to mourn them?
This was one of the soaps that my mom watched when I was little. After us kids got older she stopped watching them after she went to work.
Hey i was just a baby but i remember my mama and grandma watched this and watching myself do that means i am old too 😂
Yes that means you're old just like the rest of us from your childhood
@@gordonmcmanus1238 😅😂🤣
kellogs, wow. that box is exactly the one I grew up with, and those dinner candles reminds me of christmas
Young Palmer Cortlandt was tough as nails, LOL.
I know it's not Palmer, but...well, you know.
@@TheTVsTim he changed accent for palmer
I actually didn't become an Edge fan until it made the switch to ABC
Teri Keane is a good actress on soaps like the edge of night& she's good doing dramas on the CBS radio mystery theater. Teri Keane is such a good actress. Teri Keane is a beautiful woman. Crystal Jones 5-20 -22.
Mom would watch this
Before Bill and Martha married!
Nina's dad Mr Cortland.
Mandy Kramer. Great actor. A benefit to the show.
He played Chief Bill Marceau for 20 years from 1959 to 1979. Such a shame he’s no longer with us.
Loved that actor. Mandell Kramer was great as Bill Marceau.
Can most people emagine this came from Perry Mason.
I love these old soaps! Thank you so much for uploading them!!! Off the subject, do you have any episodes of WHERE THE HEART IS? From what I have read, it is right up my alley. A psychological soap with dark undertones would be a dream come true for me
It would be a dream come true if the It’s Real Good TV app had these old soaps, not just The Doctors.
Yes…before F TROOP, MAYBERRY RFD, and MAMA;S FAMILY, Ken Berry was selling Corn Flakes for KELLOGG’S..now THAT’S CLASSIC TV
He was a great dancer too.
Oh yes 😅
I remember that this show came on after To Tell The Truth.
Soaps and game shows were staples of the networks' daytime lineups at this time.
Is that Penny Fuller at 6:00 ish? Cutie!
It is and she was!
Palmer!
thanks a million!!!!!!and such ama
Thanks for uploading this. Someone else has done this episode too but I don't remember the quality being as good.
There were poor quality uploads of this episode from our MC-286 SOAPERS Vol. #4 VHS home video release from years ago on CZcams. This HD upload is from our master 16mm film. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@MoviecraftInc Yes I enjoy it very much. It's too bad all the episodes of this show and all the others are not saved. Hard to believe they copied over the tapes when they started recording them and losing all the history and hard work all those people did all those years. At least those could have been saved unlike all the years the shows were done live and I guess rarely recorded at the same time? But it was actually the early years of television and they didn't realize what these shows could be in the decades ahead.
Do you by any chance have any footage or an episode from the forgotten soap opera The Brighter Day? If not, I understand.
We have 2 --16mm kinescopes of The Brighter Day. We will upload an episode some time in the future. We released them on VHS home video MC-284 SOAPERS Vol. #3 1953-1960 many years ago.
Well, isn't this a surprise! Don Hastings was on TEON before playing Dr. Bob Hughes on As The World Turns (both owned by Proctor & Gamble). Ray McConnell was on the show before playing Dr. Joe Martin on All My Children. It looks like a secret meeting with two closeted men. Also both Ray MConnell, Erika Slezak (Ex Viki One Life To Live) and Tamara Braun (Ex Reese All My Children), attened The Royal Academy Dramatic Arts (RADA), in London.
The man who came in hen bill and Martha were talking. Is that the actor who played palmar on all my children?
Yes, that’s James Mitchell, best known as Palmer Cortlandt on “All My Children.”
James Mitchell played a corrupted politician on Edge of Night and he also on “Where the Heart Is” from 1969-73 and later moved on to a long run on AMC.
@@a.b.sproductionsllcYes, he was with AMC until he passed away in 2008. An unforgivable actor.
In the Corn Flakes commercial with the baby at the 5:00 mark, is that Ken Berry from (later) Mayberry R.F.D.? Sure looks like him.
You are correct, and of course let's not forget F Troop!
Ken Berry for Kelloggs. So cute!
The Edge of Night is brought to you by Kellogg's cereals. The best to you each morning from Kellogg's of Battle Creek
i only can remember bill
That baby and I were probably about the same age. I don't know when this came out but I was born August 27 1963.
What a Treat. EON was a cut above the rest
Arthur Mitchell!
Ken berry in a commercial cool is that
OMG Palmer
There's Ken Berry in the Kellogg's commercial.
At one point, more than half of Edge of Night’s audience was males.
Yeah, at one time after my dad retired, he was into the Young & the Restless too. So out of character for him.
I recognized Teri Keane...she went on to play Rose Donovan on Loving
Ken Berry doing a Kellogg's ad+
Is that a young Palmer Cortlandt from All My Children?
I was hooked on EoN and ASTWT since about the age of 4 - I'm 67 now. In fact at one point my parents made me go to Bozo's Circus; I was so mad because I was missing ATWT! Does anyone know who played Liz Mcgrath?
That is a creepy opening
If you think Edge of Night had a creepy opening what did you think of Dark Shadows?
Supposed to be--it's a crime melodrama :)
The Chief makes the salad!
ken berry Kelloggs commercial.
27:49
in this instance the thrill really is gone.(reference to dish soap commercial at 14:00 minutes).... made hands look so smooth and youthful until the plastic residue built up and suffocated the skin, leading to lesions and in some cases, amputation...as the French always say, "Buyer Beware...." except now it's prescription drugs and bug sprays...
Quaint Ads but far too many
This show is just so very creepy. It still makes my flesh crawl.
Number 1 mustard St.
I remember my mom watching this show, and God bless anyone who changed the channel.
That was ground's for a beating with the baseball bat, and I would get more than one.
I changed the channel to the 3 stooges. Oh I got quite a few beatings with the baseball bat. You don't change the channel when the Edge of night was on. And I would always change the channel at the " Best part!.
The 3 stooges we're way more interesting!
I agree! The stooges better nyuk nyuk !
Stooges came on later where I lived. Watched both.
New hands is a very creepy advisement.
I think this guy was drinking Way too much paragoric.
