As The World Turns - August 22nd 1960 - Soap Operas Full Episodes 

RU-vid has some storyline years !!! I Just Love the origin music !!

I do too.

So do I. This was my Gram's favorite,

+der22672 I started in late 1978 when I started college and wasn't in class all day like you were in grade school. I literally fell in love with the show instantly and watched and then eventually recorded it daily until the turn of the century when the show moved away from the core families and cast that I had loved for 20 years. There simply was nothing like it. What I wouldn't pay to see those few years in the late 70's again when Lisa, Nancy, Bob, Kim, Barbara, Ellen, David, Joyce and John ruled the show. Mesmerizing!

+der22672 It was such a gift for aspiring actresses to perform on these soaps. Great steady work. TV in it's relative infancy. So many opportunities for any young actress or actor. Young and old.

In the seventies, when Kim was married to the Evil Dr. Dixon, as we called him, my brother and I watched it every day. We HATED that guy! He was a great villain. When he and Kim divorced and they kind of didn't feature him as much, it was a shame. The juice kind of went out of it for me. I liked it in the old days when it was all indoors, and it was like a stage play. It was like the opposite of an action movie. It was all talk, conversation, verbal meditation, just words, words, words. I didn't understand women who liked it, because it was all about relationships, but it was fascinating.

@@TimsDale4ever As the world Turns theme in this era was the best and they should have never changed it.

Thanks I thought that was Frances Reid in the picture that this clip has.

I guess so . And wouldn't discourage Jennifer Horton NOT to have sex .I LOVE the organ music !! 🤣🤣 Thank God Barbara Ryan isn't around yet !!

Was Grace Jeff's mother? I don't remember her.

@@asheisadora Yes

Just what WAS the Trouble with Richard?

Don't be. Men were present in almost every commercial geared to women but to VALIDATE the woman's viewpoint. You know, like a Man had say the product was OK.

I was almost exactly a four-year old boy at the time of this 08/22/60 ATWT broadcast. My mom would stand me up on a kitchen chair (next to the sink) and have me wash and rinse the dishes. No kidding here! (I am not sure if we used "Joy," however!) She always claimed that I did an excellent job - well, maybe I did (LOL!) In any case, mom loved her "stories" (as the soaps were often called back in the day) and I well recall watching a good many of them with her. Today, I enjoy looking back at these very fun soap opera treasures, out here on RU-vid, with a smile. P.S. I was no child servant - I loved cleaning those dishes and I knew mom was treating me like an older and responsible child. I realized this even then - It was her best gift to me when I think of it today. Cheers to all!

No...but in the Joy ad that is the voice of Wilma Flintstone, Jean VanderPyle, as Grace.

no i don't know.

Joseph Pratt-Probably live on tape for the West Coast.

kavan30013 Very interesting. It still aired live on the East Coast, of course, right?

+Joseph Pratt yes

This is a kinescope (a film in which the camera is aimed at a television monitor). The kinescopes were sent to stations which didn't air the program live, and stations would air the program on a one (or several) day delay. They were, as the other users have noted, also used for the West Coast feed.

Probably the show was live in the Eastern and Central time zones, and was videotaped at the same time. Then taped version would then have been transmitted via cable to the Mountain and Pacific time zones respectively over the next two hours. A kinescope version - that is, a 16mm film shot of a TV screen showing the program - would also have been made, to mail to places outside the continental USA. That's what this is. Often the only surviving copies of some '50s and '60s television shows are such kinescopes. I live in Hawaii and until the 1980s, all our network TV programs were delayed a week because they had to be sent to us as 16mm films or videotapes. Nothing was live (or even was shown the same day) till the cost of satellite usage became inexpensive enough for daily programs to be sent that way.

All the ones broadcast from NYC were.
