Members titan1978 Posted March 29, 2021 Members Share Posted March 29, 2021 I just can’t believe it lasted until 1996! It seemed really dated by that point to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Xanthe Posted March 30, 2021 Members Share Posted March 30, 2021 Thank you! Most of the other actors stayed for less than 2 years. I think only Henrietta, Thomasina, and Lily were around for more than 2 years and all of the men did less. Not sure whether they were on contract and were released early or if they were only recurring. I don't remember knowing Paul Hecht was the Russian, but I didn't really know of him until 1984 when I saw him in Noises Off on Broadway and then of course he was Allie's ex-husband on Kate & Allie. I am happy for those who enjoyed the Crystal Gayle theme, but although I would hesitate to call it the actual worst I have to say that it didn't do anything for me and I would have preferred to keep the instrumental themes I was used to. I didn't mind the music especially but I found the lyrics dull and generic. Speaking of themes, watching AW videos provoked YouTube to suggest someone playing the earlier 80s theme by Jonathan Segal. I had never paid attention to the composer's name but apparently he has a lot of YouTube videos up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted March 30, 2021 Members Share Posted March 30, 2021 It could never truly be the worst because that distinction will forever be held by Guiding Light's final theme "Only Love" with the horrible lyric Everybody wants truth Everybody wants hope Everybody clings to sex like soap on a rope 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RavenWhitney Posted March 30, 2021 Members Share Posted March 30, 2021 You're right. But I put anything MAGA Ellen Wheeler did on GL in a class by itself. In the 1980s context, the AW theme was the worst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 30, 2021 Members Share Posted March 30, 2021 I can see where some might feel it didn't fit AW, but I still enjoy the song, and the credits. I can watch them over and over. I can't do that with the very dated late '90s credits that they took 80% of the cast out of... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members watson71 Posted March 30, 2021 Members Share Posted March 30, 2021 I suspect that P&G was waiting to see if the show would be renewed before they updated the late 90s credits. If it was renewed, then we probably would have gotten updated credits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted March 30, 2021 Members Share Posted March 30, 2021 I hear the argument that it was dated by the mid 90s AND that a real song as credits is not usually a great idea but I still listen to that song as a song unironically and without any relation to AW. I like that song. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
