Guiding Light: Opening Montages 

The 1983 version always brings tears to my eyes but my favorite was the one that debuted in 1991. My emotions are still the same 30 years later. Wow!

Never got over losing this show😥

Guiding Light had the some of the best openings in all soaps. I really miss this show. :-(

I had a crush on Carl T Evan, he was mesmerizing as Alan Michael.

Guiding Light had some of the best writing & acting anywhere.

This was my favorite soap opera for a long time.

Guiding Light was my favorite soap opera for a long time.

The third theme and opening was the best. Those Strings, those strings. Wow!

Guiding Light The Daytime Soap Opera Of All Time On CBS

Guiding Light was outstanding soap opera with an amazing,rich history and it gave us some of the best and most memorable characters in daytime!It will never be forgotten

I started watching Guiding Light in 1981 when I was seven years old.

I sure miss Guiding Light soo much😔

The last opening, is like a totally new show, it doesn't feel like Guiding Light.

A time gone by...memories.

I liked the one from 1991 to like 2001. I used to stay home and watch Olivia and Reva fight over Josh. LMAO

The disco one was hilarious

83 was my favorite but they were all the best in soap history atwt tried but hands down the emmy goes to gl for best openings ever!

Follow along. All of them are here with you. Should never have been cancelled. The cast put on a show to remember.

just saw this amazing video of yours ! loved it . i hope you might be able to do more year in review videos like the ones you have done in the past . Guiding light , Santa Barbara and Another World were my favourite soaps .

My favorite GL opening was the 91-02 opening

I miss Annie Dutton & cassie Layne..1997-98 beat years

Love love ❤ ❤❤ thanks for the nostalgia

0:49 When you been on the internet for hours, but you only see the cellular data icon

Bring this back

Great video! I watched GL from 1976-2009.I know that I'm in the minority,but my favorite opening is the "Disco" opening from 1981 and 1982.Those were my favorite years of GL as well.

Man do I miss Guiding Light, it was a great soap

I always felt a pang in the gut at 0:47 where Beverlee McKinsey should have been (replaced w/ the toasting wine glasses after she left in Aug. '92)

I hope y’all will reply to this remember Rick Hurst who was on Guiding Light was also Cletus Hogg Boss Hogg’s cousin on The Dukes of Hazzard??????!!

I can understand why this show went off the air that last opening the one with only love can save the world looked like it was shot on a camcorder

I’m from Grand Rapids, Michigan just like Kim Zimmer.

The True Light opening (after the one with Joan Collins in it) should have been a remake of My Guiding Light.

I miss this very bad

Wow! I remember the disco one.

The 4th one is my favorite

I grew up with Hold On To Love, but my favorites, after watching episodes here on YT, are La Lumiere (the first opening in this video) and My Guiding Light ('83-'85 version). I like that very last bit, too, the was featured in the finale. The one featured every opening title card.

The best one to me always was the one with the light from the lighthouse showing the characters that was used from the mid 90's into 2001 or 2002. Personally, I think GL and several of the other shows (AMC, OLTL and GH) changed their theme song WAY too often. The opening song really should be like a trademark for the show. Even if the visual opening is changed, the theme song (or an updated version thereof) remains the same. Days of Our Lives, Y&R and B&B have followed that approach --- using the same song (with some minor modifications) for their entire existence and even staying with a similar opening (with some modifications) over the years. GL was chaotic with this.

Still miss this soap.

Guiding miss. Soap

I liked 1977-82. Best

2:05 Guiding Light OBB 2006-2011

You're missing the 70th Anniversary open with all the hand-holding LOL

4th by far the best i was a gher but even i switched chsnnel for the into and outro!!

83-84 was best theme

Who's the actor at 2:18?

4:00 and beyond were all awful with the Only Love being the worst. A theme song to a show is iconic and constant change for the sake of change is rarely good. Take a them and slightly tweak it over time. For me, 88 to 92 were the best intros and theme songs. I’d have been happy with waiter of these sticking and slightly changing over time. Y and R has always had the same iconic Nadia’s Theme. GL constantly replacing themes just shows the solid identity they seemed to have lost over the last decade of the show. I watched in Junior High from 88-91 and it was such a phenomenal show. Miss it.

God I hated the 2003-05 opening!

Just all completely went downhill at 4:07.with the last being the absolute worst. 91-93 was the best

Yup! The last one sucked. Only, love can save the world.....Ugh!
