That promo, was so upsetting - it was beginning of the nightmare of being a day-behind, and things like spoilers didn't match anymore. (Only good part was if there was a national partial country preemption, there was a chance for others to get a morning tape from the next day.)

 

I can watch something and think oh that story wasn't good, but I enjoyed the performances. The problem is if it is a movie a few hours of not-so-good story while annoying is only a short amount of time, the clone was months, and did a number on Josh Lewis. 

I remember this promo for Guiding Light but did the other CBS soaps have their own versions?

Does anyone remember CBS Daytime had a promo that used Patti Austin's The Heat of Heat song? 

I think it ran in 1986, which I think was the same year they used the Robert Palmer Addicted to Love song. 

Maybe each ran in different seasons? 

Both promos had virtually the same theme of ocean waves lapping up on the beach then retreating, revealing the name of the soap written in the sand.

 

The Heat of Heat was Summer 1986. Addicted to Love was Summer 1987.

 

I didn't know until this thread that the Summer 1986 promos used an actual song. I thought it was a composition by the CBS music department. Shows how little I know about mid-1980s pop music

Oh my Gawwwwddd!   I'll never be able to look at that promo in the same way again! (I'll also be looking at it a few more times).

Oh, come on.  Sometimes, a cigar -- or, in this case, a banana -- is just that.

And this is so 90s.....
 

 

 

It almost seems they used anyone who was in the studio that day..I mean, Frankie D is going to get people in NY to tune in at 10 a.m. (Of course, Frankie probably made a special trip in to film that as he woulda cleaned the toilets to stay on that show...) Also, Kimmer looks like she has no make up on!!!

LOL! "Frankie D."  So unappealing. When he tilts his head like a kindergarten teacher enticing his students to sing the alphabet.  (P.S. They should've brought in Rick Hearst or even Robert Newman) 

 

I think Zimmer is sporting her "Rebecca" extensions. Or was indeed pulled right off the streets of New York as she was enjoying a lighthearted summer day. 

 

Wendy Moniz is rockin' it though.   So deliciously 90's.

Agreed..Moniz has it going and of course, Zaz can do anything..Zimmer, I was suprised that she would have agreed to do it without her makeup, but maybe they pulled her out of happy hour and she said, "What the hell!!!Let's do this quick so I can get on with my day!"  Frankie...I know this is not nice, but God only knows who he was putting out with to keep his job...(I kid, I kid..I really think he ended up paying them to keep him on...)

I just saw a promo of Marj Dusay and Beverlee McKinsey, back to back.  It was a promo for Capitol and Guiding Light.  I couldn't help but reflect on the fact that at that time neither woman would have any idea that they would eventually portray the same character.

Personal Favorites:

 

Don't Blink and Don't Look Away (CBS 1993):

Clarence the Announcer (CBS 1989):

Sheila Promo (CBS 2005): 

 

"Let Life Surprise You" (OLTL 1992):

Some promos I really liked. From Australian soap Neighbours

 

 

 

 

 

 

Home and Away

 

 

Sunset Beach

 

 

They also did the ‘Does Your Mamma Know You’re Watching?’ campaign in 1998. Anyone remember those promos?

SUNSET BEACH tried everything and then some to get more people watching.

They sure did - to no avail.

Wasn’t the show going against the tide in the latter part of ‘99? Changing time slot, not airing in some states, airing at 3am in some states, etc?
