Members allmc2008 Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 Best: AMC's 25th Anniversary week including the Carol Burnett special. Guiding Light's 70th Anniversary. I never even watched GL but I like that episode so much that I feel like it should have been a two hour movie. OLTL 40th Anniversary Worst: AMC's 40th. They shouldn't have crammed it in one episode. They should have done what OLTL did an span it over a course of several weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members teplin Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 Another World's 25th anniversary -- handicapped though it was by Douglass Watson's death and the unfortunate decision to turn Gwen Frame into Opal Gardner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 I think this one is pretty untouchable. A week of great nostalgia-filled episodes guest starring so many old familiar faces, a primetime special, a coffee table book, it was a fan's dream. And the 20th anniversary was equally special in its cozy, low-key way, debuting the best opening credits sequence AMC (daytime?) ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 Best: Y&R's 25th ATWT's 30th GL's 60th Worst: GL's 40th on TV or whatever that was Days' 40th was extremely lackluster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 DAYS' 35th was decent. An extended episode (i.e. less commercials) with flashbacks of the current castmembers. DAYS' 25th and 21st (weird number, I guess DAYS was officially legal in '86) were pretty remarkable. Loads of flashbacks including many actors/characters that were no longer on the show or had since been recast. The 25th anniversary special lasted for 3 episodes. Their 30th in 1995 was non-existent. The show was on fire at the time, but no mention of the milestone aside from commercials NBC ran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 It wasnt a full week celebration but it was a very interesting and well done episode that paid tribute to the town and its history. Id hardly qualify it as one of the worst ever, especially when so many others didnt even bother to put nearly as much effort into theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DynamiteKiddo Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 It was better than the non-existent 45th, lol. I thought the 40th was fine--full of flashbacks weaving the current stories with reminiscing about old times. I think that's when Kate (and the audience?) found out Claire was Shawn's and Jack 'died' in that snowstorm. I thought the 35th was good also because it did a nice job of combining the old with the new. OLTL's 40th anniversary episodes were everything and more! Though, I preferred the 10,000th episode. AMC's 35th and 40th were very nice, too. The 40th, though, was so ambitious and for all the points they hit, there were a lot they missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 OLTL's 40th was alright. I liked Viki in heaven but hated the other stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EnglishTea Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 Generally speaking, AMC did pretty well with their anniversary. In particular, the 20th was nice with a full week of returns, and the 25th was special because of the primetime spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
