Thank you for this amazing, trip down memory lane. I watched ATWT during all these openings. It was my favorite Soap Opera of all time. I miss it so much. Thanks for Posting.
As the world turns was the best day time soap. I remember coming home with my mom after she got done work and we would watch this together every week day. It was my favorite childhood memory . Miss Oakdale
Mom and Dad were married in 1954. Of course she started watching ATWT from the beginning. When I hear this music I think of wonderful times with Mom...She ate her lunch in front of the tv EVERY DAY on a tray,watching this. good memories!
My Mom (87) watched this since the first show!!! I really wished it was still on because she would still really enjoy it!! I was visiting from Miami (she lives in Va) and we were watching General Hospital and she was thrilled when I showed her Franco (old Paul Ryan) and Ava (old Carly Snyder) !!!! Made her day to see those 2 ...She's 87 by the way...
I miss Carly and Jack when he lost his memory and met Julia and J.J and will and Gwen oh man Jen and dusty when she died that was a good story line and Craig OMG he was a mess but never a dull moment at all and Ally she was always misunderstood
Listening to this music makes me think through my husbands life when he was here I on earth he had a great life and a blessed one before and after we met. long suffering with the cancer through out the years we had a great marriage and and we had good times may he rest in peace. the last cancer took him in 2016 miss him so much it was so hard to see him in pain everyday and I couldn't do anything to help him in and out of the hospital and. couldn't come back home t wasmt the same again when he was in the hospital and after he passed away
I told UK Folks about how Don Hastings & Helen Wagner (RIP) were The Two Longest Running Soap Actors in US History. Now the Longest Running UK Soap Actor is Bill Roache 1960-Present who's been playing Ken Barlow on Coronation Street since the beginning. Some of the Alumni who have appeared on the Show are Rob James Collier & Joanna Froggatt (Downton Abbey) Sarah Lacanshire (Last Tango In Halifax & Happy Valley) Suranne Jones (Gentleman Jack). Also it's where alot of Up & Coming Popstars get their start. Davey Jones (The Monkees) Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits), and former Members of UK Groups like Hearsay & Boyzone (Who Appeared On The Show) also did "Corrie" as it's known.

The company that produced the show, Proctor and Gamble, closed their tv production division, and since the show was getting lousy ratings, no other production company, not even CBS, wanted to pick the show up, so it had to go.
Doesn’t anyone feel like the 1999-2002 opening gives off a very uncomfortable and cringey vibe? I don’t know, it just feels like they’re all looking right at you 😬
God I hated that second one which started somewhere in 1999 I believe. For me, the show itself also lost its way and ALL of it became unfamiliar and unwatchable and I was a HUGH fan from 1978-99. All things must end I suppose....
Was not a fan of the second one shown in this video. It reminded me more of a sports program. The third is among my favorites. Gorgeous ending chord on the last one.
for guiding light, they need to do what dallas did. someone waking up from a dream to fix storylines. i did not like them killing off richard and bring his doppleganger, pairing cassie and edmund, the incest storyline between tammy and jonathan, reva getting pregnant with jeffrey baby instead of josh.
Not a fan of the second one,and really hated the last one. I was still watching,but this is when the show was in its decline. Did anyone else notice in the last opening everyone looks miserable? Oh and if you want to see the most wonderful Maura West, she is on GH. Terri Conn who played Katie is a host on QVC now.

The best soap in history right here. Never should’ve cancelled it.
Mom and Dad were married in 1954. Of course she started watching ATWT from the beginning. When I hear this music I think of wonderful times with Mom...She ate her lunch in front of the tv EVERY DAY on a tray,watching this. good memories!
this was truly the best soap ever - so sorry it is gone. watched it for 40 years - felt the Hughes were like family
- still miss them

Such a bad mistake taking this show off the air. ATWT and Guiding Light should have been left alone.
I would rather have bold and the beautiful taken off the air instead of atwt and gl
I started watching as the world turns back in the 8os till the 90s great openings I liked them all it was an awesome soap opera
I miss this show I use to rush home to watch this with my grandma
Yes..... same here. I miss this show and the wonderful memories. It makes me miss my grandmother so much!
That beautiful Gold/Sky Blue one was my fave, the theme song is epic!!
Christopher Carpena I like that one also but to me the last opening is ATWT best opening.👍
Mine’s too along with the 1999-2002 opening
atwt shoult never have stopped, and i woult love to sponsor it to get it back to the air
I miss it in 2021
I miss this show so much
I miss Carly and Jack when he lost his memory and met Julia and J.J and will and Gwen oh man Jen and dusty when she died that was a good story line and Craig OMG he was a mess but never a dull moment at all and Ally she was always misunderstood
How could you forget the original opening from 1956-1982???
I agree Steven. I remember the theme was first played by an organ and then they orchestrated the theme a few years later. to a rotating earth.☺
Noah was my crush!!!!! and my grandmother Jene has been watching all the AS THE WORLD TURNS in heaven.
Listening to this music makes me think through my husbands life when he was here I

I like the music a the beginning of the video it's like you looking over your life music though out the years o love the piano music without the words
It was also the most popular version during that time!!! :) :) :)
Brings back so many memories! :(
I would love to all the series of AS THE WORLD TURNS on DVD sets!!!!!
I can remember when my grandma watched this show when it was only a 30 min show.
Many of times I remember my mom and grandmom watching this show
My favorite is the last opening, not only because it features Van Hansis as Luke, which is my favorite character, but I also liked the music alot! :)
mine too...Luke's character gave me courage, and the theme was my favorite
Luke and noah gave me hope
Hope they reconsider a reboot esp with Van and Jake as Luke and Noah…they really had an impact on me growing up
As the world turns the daytime soap opera of all time
You are missing the theme up to 1982 and the theme from 1982 through 1993. Both classic.
That's what I wanted to see.
I have fond memories of my grandmother watching it when I visited during the summer.😁

Loved the 90s theme .

0:00 I hate this opening; it represents the end of the Doug Marland era. He died shortly after they started using it and the show went to hell.
You didn’t show any of the opening credits from the first forty years.
They were crazy taking this soap off it was soooooo good
I like the old theme from 1975-1978 it was better than the new ones.
I miss it in 2021
Greetings from the Netherlands ;-
I was expecting to see them ALL, like, from BEFORE the 1993 opening?
After Douglas Marland, who was Head Writer in the mid-80's through early 90s, died -- the show went downhill fast.
DO AGREE WITH YOU AFTER MR. MARLAND'S UNEXPECTED DEATH THERE WAS NO WERE TO GO BUT DOWN. DOUGLAS MARLAND GAVE ATWT ITS GOLDEN AGE --- I REMEMBER IT WELL --- AND STILL MISS IT
Agree only hooked on atwt 80s
As the world turns ends in 2010
The soap invented those them song or are they reprises ?
why did they take it off the air
lasheena eades Bad storylines, was getting low ratings and people weren't watching it as much as they use to.
The company that produced the show, Proctor and Gamble, closed their tv production division, and since the show was getting lousy ratings, no other production company, not even CBS, wanted to pick the show up, so it had to go.
What year was the first one?
The guiding light ended in 2009

The one @ 1:45, I only watched the show for. Shame they made the intro music crappy for the last three years.
Henry was my crush.
AS THE W 🌎 RLD TURNS
I love AS THE WORLD TURNS but still miss it though but it would be called AS THE WORLD TURNS: SPENCER JAMES WOOD AND HIS BOYFRIEND
The second segment and the cast. Almost all of them are dead.
HUH? Who is dead other than Nancy and Hal??
2:26 Guiding Light should have still stayed in that action style in the late 2000's like ATWT instead of that crappy outdoor style
Didn't really like any of these themes, my favorite was the one right before all of these, from the early 90s
The original theme from the 80s with the simple globe was the best
Doesn’t anyone feel like the 1999-2002 opening gives off a very uncomfortable and cringey vibe? I don’t know, it just feels like they’re all looking right at you 😬
God I hated that second one which started somewhere in 1999 I believe. For me, the show itself also lost its way and ALL of it became unfamiliar and unwatchable and I was a HUGH fan from 1978-99. All things must end I suppose....
It was better when it was just nature scenes in the letters. That was timeless. The other openings look terribly dated now.
Was not a fan of the second one shown in this video. It reminded me more of a sports program. The third is among my favorites. Gorgeous ending chord on the last one.
I agree! Please get ATWT and GL back in the air. The programs that replaced these classics are just plain boring.
for guiding light, they need to do what dallas did. someone waking up from a dream to fix storylines. i did not like them killing off richard and bring his doppleganger, pairing cassie and edmund, the incest storyline between tammy and jonathan, reva getting pregnant with jeffrey baby instead of josh.
Dave Hewitt Picachilly Piki Kirk Mormon staged fearful phrophesy final
Not a fan of the second one,and really hated the last one. I was still watching,but this is when the show was in its decline. Did anyone else notice in the last opening everyone looks miserable? Oh and if you want to see the most wonderful Maura West, she is on GH. Terri Conn who played Katie is a host on QVC now.
Fav was before these it was rather gothic with spinning globe very dramatic!!!!!!.....these ones very generic!!
Second one sounds like a news or sports broadcast!!! Terrible!!
First was the worst
These were all very unoriginal.
