Members soapfave06 Posted November 8, 2011 Members Share Posted November 8, 2011 That interview was great! I loved reading her talking about that story. It would be extremely creepy for a soap storyline to parallel your own life, especially when your the one acting it. I think she even said her car broke down by an Inn that was run down like the Willows. Just crazy. Thanks for doing that interview by the way.

Members Soapsuds Posted November 8, 2011 Members Share Posted November 8, 2011 Which episodes exactly have the music right issues?? I've knew of this from buying so many DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted November 11, 2011 Members Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'm watching the 1979 episode in its entirety right now, and I absolutely LOVE it. LOVE it. This is the slow-as-hell ATWT I wish we could see more of. For some reason, I really enjoyed the Tom-Lisa scene. There's just something about their dynamic...I like how Lisa can talk about her love life with her son, and he's not an ass about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 11, 2011 Members Share Posted November 11, 2011 And this was the more speeded up ATWT, according to the soap books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted November 11, 2011 Members Share Posted November 11, 2011 REALLY? There were some very long scenes in there, like the Bob/Dana one at the theatre towards the end. Just the two of them talking, some silences, and I don't think there was even a shot of them both in the same frame. Just talking heads. I ate it up like dinner, but I can see why people could get restless. It's no secret, I am dying for anything from 1967-1975. I watch that '72 kinescope at least once a week.

Members DRW50 Posted November 11, 2011 Members Share Posted November 11, 2011 I am only going by Schemering's book, but he said when the ratings fell in 1978 they started trying to cut scenes up more and move the pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted November 12, 2011 Members Share Posted November 12, 2011 I didn't find the episode slow either. I found it very classy and well paced. At least to me it felt like a good episode (much better than some of the 80s ones) and left me wanting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RogerNewcomb Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Next release http://www.welovesoaps.net/2011/11/atwtchristmasdvd.html More news coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks for keeping us informed. The 2000 one has the last appearance of Rosemary Prinz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RogerNewcomb Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 That's why I picked it. Two original cast members (along with Helen) as well as a couple of minutes of 1960s black and white flashbacks. Anne Sward came back that episode too. I think you mentioned the 1992 Christmas show at one point. I just smiled knowing it was actually coming soon. Just FYI...The 1987 Christmas show was one that had a music rights issue.

Members DRW50 Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yes the 1992 and 1991 Christmas shows were very good, it's nice to see one chosen from that timeframe. The 1991 had a candle-lighting ceremony (or was that 1992?) I found very moving. I love Anne Sward - glad to see her getting more respect from your DVDs than she did in some of ATWT's later years... Thanks again for telling us about this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 I got an email about the Christmas set, and I'm glad they're releasing it, but that's crazy pricing, don't you think? The 20-episode set was only $19.95, but this set with just 5 episodes is original price $12.95? I really want it, but I might just wait until it's a little cheaper...

Members Soapsuds Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 I got the same email. I've got to pick it up. All the episodes sound good except for the 2007 one. I didn't care for that one at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
