Live/live to tape question

Featured Replies

I know that ATWT and EON were the last shows broadcast live in 75.

By then,all the shows were live to tape-shot in sequence, like the live shows(even pausing for the commercial breaks).However,if something did go seriously wrong,taping could stop and the scene retaped.(This was frowned upon due to budget restraints)

My question is : Which show pioneered live to tape?Was it Days in 65?If not,then who?

In what order,did other shows follow?I think SFT and GL went to tape in 68,when they expanded to 30 mins.

Was Gloria Monty's GH in 78 the first show to start taping out of sequence and editing it all together later?

Any info would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure but I think GH may have been live to tape from it's very beginning, while Days started shooting out of sequence when it went to one hour long in 1975 (again I'm not entirely sure...)
