I find that Raven ad very interesting... particularly because it sounds like the biggest letdown ever. It's like an ad pimping Susan Lucci and her Erica and how she's now joining General Hospital as a kindly retiree who volunteers for the seniors program. And at first, I was a little surprised by all of the Raven mentions but then I remembered the P&G connection. Not to mention the old-school sensibility that Sharon Gabet isn't mentioned by name.

You know, with this new online venture, I wouldn't be surprised if at least The City sooner rather than later became an online offering. These things are actually seeming more and more feasible. I was really surprised and quite pleased to see that the Nickelodeon teen soap Fifteen is available on iTunes for example.

*deep sigh* I almost wish I hadn't read that. So sad. It's hard to not be judgmental in cases like this. Of course I'm not the only one reminded of Martha Raye. And reading that I really appreciated the big laugh *MFB* brought.

Not that I know of. Years ago, it reran on BET. You may be thinking of the South African soap opera also called Generations that is airing on The Africa Channel.

Very NBC. The woman at :28 is striking. If only in the United States of America we could get a serial this colorful and blended. I want to see this show!

Yes, it was always in color, the b&w footage is Kinescope. The earlier mentioned 1968 episode in Paley's collection is color original.

He was a lead in the 13 Bourbon St. pilot which led to his daytime career.

Funny because the 1968 episode at Paley is about how Meredith has gone missing from the hospital and we don't see her at all in the episode, just Gillian-Viki and Victor fretting over her disappearance. I wonder if anything still exists of Viki and Meredith's original relationship.

What a coincidence that saynotoursoap posted those clips! thanks, that really explains the Edith/Penny back story for me. Edith sounds like an interesting character, and the kind of woman IP felt strongly about. Still wrapping my head around what it must have been like for World fans watching the new relationship of Phoebe and Amy.

Asa & Alex and their his and hers Porsches. Marilyn Chris added something very special. Her mannerisms and delivery are very Off-Broadway actor groomed in the sixties. She seems like someone Lemay would have loved to write for.

4:20 in clip one, was Bob Woods too preoccupied with whatever was in his eye to take Tonja's coat or was that a *choice*? 7:49-8:46 clip two, that was just so... lovely. So *Viki*. Just a very classy moment. This whole episode has such an elegance about it, the show did in general. I love the music throughout, from the carols to the primetime sax. Great memories, and now that the show is leaving us, I will watch this every Christmas.
