Members Vee Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 Man, this is not gonna end well for me or my DVR. I know an enterprising fan has committed to getting them all on YT, but I want to watch as many as possible on TV myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ~bl~ Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 I wish I had SoapNet so I could watch any of this on television. The Valentine's R&A episode from 1991...I remember watching that back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 Only 8 episodes from the 2000's, that's better than I expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 I knew someone would be quick to complain about this. There are50 hours worth of episodes here. Even if 25 consisted of 2000ish episodes, thats still 25 that arent which is ALOT more than the typical marathon. Just be grateful that they are even doing this bc its unprecedented and SN didnt have toWhich isnt much. People may not like it, but those ARE a part of GH history and deserve to be showcased as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yeah 8 out of 50 is not bad at all, if anyone expected no Guza era eppy's then I don't know what to say lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm glad that they aren't having too much from the past decade, but I'm Luke and Laura-d out. I think a lot of people are (Genie and Tony certainly seem to be). It just doesn't do anything for me. It's all a joke and a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BingCherry Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 Kinda surprised at how many meaty episodes (Clink Boom, Bobbie finding Carly and Tony, the second 1963 episode) will be in late night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 I hope someone who sells soap DVDs records the entire thing and sells it. I'd be interested in watching all of this! It's a nice representation with only the 70s mostly left out. I wish the other soaps got stuff like this. For Y&R I wish they even got a 5-6 episode marathon.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 I can't really explain the late 70s, but I can't help but wonder if part of the reason there isn't any early-mid 70s episodes on the schedule is because of the massive amount of wiping that took place back then--soap operas and game shows were hit by this more than any other genres, and IIRC, ABC was the worst offender of all (for example, almost all of the version of Password that ran from 1971-1974 [and from 1974-1975 as Password All-Stars], which also was on ABC, is completely gone).

Members All My Shadows Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 That's definitely the reason why. I think NBC was worse about it than ABC was, though. This looks like a good lineup for GH fans! That's a solid block of early 80s stuff for Saturday morning/afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 I wish I had soapnet, even though I don't really watch GH i would have still checked this marathon out. Seems like fairly healthy list in regards to showing episodes from the early early days. They are even showing 60's episodes. Y&R should have done a "40 years in 40 hours" marathon.....

Members sheilaforever Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 much better than anyone could expect. And that there is loads of stuff pre-mid 90s aka Sonny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 This is a killer line up. They picked one great or pivotal episode after another! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members balozier Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 Not all of ABC Password is gone... Game Show Network aired one from 1971 with Brett Somers and Jack Klugman, and three off-air dubs from 1975 exist among collectors (including the very last ABC Password from June 27, 1975)... but on the whole, knowing over 1,000 episodes of Allen Ludden's work are forever lost is a crying shame to us fans.
