Stay tuned for Match Game 75 which follows over most of these CBS Stations.. This is Hal Simms! Inviting you to join us each weekday afternoon for....THHHHEEEE EDDDDDGGGGGE OF NIGHT!!!!!
Could you imagine if The Edge Of Night was on NBC when it was first on, and not CBS or ABC? They would have had the classic NBC New York announcers on there, like Don Pardo, Bill Wendell, and Fred Facey. Think of the possibilities! Imagine any of them saying THHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEE EDDDDDDDDDGGGGGGGE OF NIGHT!
Wow! You've gotta luv that creenkly, rather spooky Edge logo. There were actually several variations of the same logo, even within the same opening or closing. Some were larger; some were smaller; some were brighter or darker tones of yellow. The lettering was sometimes more slanted; other times, more straight up and down. Nonetheless, it always went very well with the visuals. It would be interesting to know how many title cards they had back then, and who created the original logo.
soap1919jt: You and I are cut out of the same cloth! I, too have wondered how they came up with the EDGE logo. It stayed the same until EDGE moved to ABC. What a great job for someone to come up with logos for soap operas! As a kid I was fascinated by the original opening as the dark 'edge' moved across the skyline. They reshot the opening in color in 1967 using time-lapse photography. During the 1972 CBS technicians strike - during the halftime break - they put up the original logo. The EDGE logo looks like bullet holes in the letters.
I remember those packages of Comet so well...I also remember that Procter & Gamble would sponsor their daytime (and sometimes nighttime) dramatic programming with soap and detergent products and primetime sitcoms with personal care products such as Secret and Crest.
Looking at the cast crawl makes me sad because by that time they had gotten rid of Martha Marceau, Liz Hillyer Fileds, Jim Fields, Ron And Cookie Christopher. I lost interest by then. I still watched but not as regularly as I did before.
Sadly characters like Martha Marceau, Vic Lamont, Jim Fields Ron and Cookie Christopher didn't stay around even on the ABC version of Edge. I wish they had. These were some among many. Edge characters kept the audience tuning in. Those characters I just named could have had more storyline element to have stayed on.
I forgot that Duz was still around then. Such sweet memories.
I never knew either thought that was from the fifties.
As a kid I thought how neat that would be to get a glass in the box of detergent.
EON was the soap opera for men.
This was from late in the CBS run, shortly before moving to ABC!

That’s each weekday afternoon(not each weekend afternoon)
@@kjchicago1 Auto correct & I do not work together. I had to enter correction three times. Kept showing weekend. SMH
the opening credits for The Edge Of Night where is the back drop? NY?
Cincinnati, which is the headquarters of Procter and Gamble.
OOOOPPPPS error. Each weekday afternoon, Duh....
Kenneth C I wonder if this was the closing of the last CBS show.
This had to be very close to the last episode on CBS before the move to ABC in December 1975.
I would love to see the soaps that are on today show credits like a long time ago not the tiny credits you can barely see
