Obituaries--End of a Television Era

Guiding Light, 72, counting radio episodes, completed its run today.

An earlier article about the show's cancellation is here.

You can view the complete final episode, number 15,762, right here with other recent episodes.

I watched the show off and on since 1975, but not in recent years. The best years were when the late, great Michael Zaslow, as Roger Thorpe, held court, especially in the late 1970s. He was so good in that part, truly irreplaceable.

The biggest difference between recent episodes and those even from a few years ago is the producers decided to provide real outdoor and indoor scenes in recent years.

I hope there will be "best of DVDs" of the show if it isn't possible to have season sets (probably not possible given the number of episodes).
