Another World April 13,1982 closing

[@rhsharp]

Wow! Can you imagine the networks today agreeing to 3:33 of end credits? They would never want to give up that much commercial and promotional time. I miss end credits when they were done like this!

[@a.b.s_productions]

It’s bad enough they stopped with closing credits with soaps which was the backbone to the show. And I believe Another World was the first to do it around 1994 or 1995.

@@a.b.s_productions Daytime TV gradually stopped doing end of show end credits, with I believe Price is Right being the last do to so in September 1999. Jeopardy did recently have a 90 second end of show credits, and that's quite unusual for any TV show these days

@@a.b.s_productions Correct. NBC started the trend of "split-screen" credits in fall 1994. All the networks eventually followed suit with their own style.

Guiding Light had closing credits still after 2000

[@jeff123246]

I found a :59 ending credits for Guiding Light with the lighthouse background from 2001

[@duranddavis7710]

The first time I heard this theme with guitars. Nice

[@FarmersAreDummies]

My grandma loved this soap, rest her soul.

[@ericnelson9100]

I have never heard this closing theme, ever!

[@abe_froman8360]

Three minutes of credits? That would never happen now... that's six commercials!

[@ThePolaroid669]

Someone should bring back Another World

[@byrd56]

NBC staff announcers' voices: 0:04 + 3:15 - Bill Wolff ("AW" billboard + closing tag) 1:08 - Vic Roby (primetime promo)

This is pretty cool! The “Another World” theme with a country-western flare!

[@FarmersAreDummies]

Nope.

[@roysanders7245]

I loved this opening and closing theme as a kid.

[@mcmlxii4419]

This was a far cry from the original "Another World" theme song.

[@JananEverett]

I love this theme with the 'country western ' version. Ah, how i miss the days when soaps were extremely entertaining!

[@chuckbracken]

Neat last time i heard this version was when Rachel and Steve were trapped after his Building caved in

[@michaelrandall4862]

The Night Hawk Building

[@KAIH-hd7dn]

Great theme. Wow!

[@damienchance2622]

I like when the credits is going slow

[@EdwynNSanchez]

Wow! I’ve never seen this AW closing sequence with an alternative version of the 1981-87 theme before. Thank you for sharing this! I was going to ask if you have the AW episode from the same date containing this closing sequence but I’m sure (and I understand) that you probably do not have it. Also, thank you for sharing your new "Texas" content! I really appreciate it. - Greetings from Houston, Texas! Best regards, Edwyn.

[@cfs89]

I do have it! I have April 12 & 13 1982 and both should be uploaded later on tonight

Kyra Sedgwick & William H Macy in the cast list,

[@MayorShinnNYC]

This cast list is a TV/Hollywood Who's Who!!

[@byrd56]

Some before they were famous; some after.

[@ericnelson9100]

Also, who were the characters in the first part, what storyline was this part of; I don't recognize any of them?

[@charleswilliamsjr]

Was another world aired on all NBC stations!!?

[@myfilmz]

Almost, WBZ (then an NBC affiliate) in Boston, preempted AW starting in 1983 sending it to independent WQTV (now WBPX) then WHLL (now WUTF)

[@jhzenor61481]

@@myfilmz WHO-TV in Des Moines, IA had AW at 2 pm, pre-empting MG-HS and DOOL in favor of an afternoon movie and a kid's local programming called "The Floppy Show"
