I was 19 then. We thought we were the epitome of fashion and style. It was a fabulous time to be 19. ☮️💟

[@yankeegirl5175]

Those news briefs at the top of the hour are another thing you don't realize are gone until you watch shows like this!

[@fernandepierre1037]

[@lisabrogan5941]

Notice no STUPID lawyer or prescription commericals and OMG I remember when Maybeline eyeshadow looked like that. That was when I started wearing makeup

[@richardsclassiccommercials5534]

No car insurance commercials either. The good old days.

[@mikejohnson9852]

Next year, "General Hospital" will celebrate 57 years on the air and surpass "Guiding Light" as the longest running soap opera!

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

At this time I was 7 and my mom was always watching GH when I got home from school. Makes me wonder if I was watching when this was recorded.

[@nole8923]

Lol! Joanie loves Chachi. Pure corn🤣

[@geoffreyludwig5438]

That's future "Supermarket Sweep" host David Ruprecht in the A-1 commercial.

[@wissehkay8373]

I loved the 1980's ladies fashions. Look at them in the Ban commercial. I would wear them now, minus the shoulder pads of course.

[@jchow5966]

We had to have our shoulder pads back then!!! ☮️

[@lisabrogan5941]

Mine was too. In 1983 I was 13 and loved spending the night at my mamaws' and spent the summer LOVING daytime tv. Sleep in watch game shows in the morning and soaps in the afternoon and off to the pool. What a wonderful carefree life.

[@TruSoulDj]

“Loving “.

[@gli7utubeo]

In the Diet Dr. Pepper spot (#11.) at 5:36 the girls are walking by the World Trade Center.

[@kizzume]

This is cool, and I hope you eventually figure out how to capture at 30fps, right now it looks like about 15fps....

[@davidbrunson8887]

Do you have the episode to AMC that day? Don't really care about the other shows.

[@pannoni8449]

Unofrtunately I don't. Whoever recorded it was obviously a GH fan as evidenced by the 20th Anniversary spots during some of the breaks.

[@QJC2014]

Join me on facebook for more 70s and 80s

[@dalemulholland9114]

Soaps are always trashy..

[@pannoni8449]

Maybe over the past couple decades, but soaps arguably were never more popular at the time. It was really cool to have a Soap Opera Digest subscription and even college students would watch them between classes. Then of course Dallas and Dynasty duked it out for the top-rated show in primetime, and both were very popular overseas. If it weren't for those and all the others, there wouldn't be a Neighbours or EastEnders. It started to go downhill in the late '80s when the writing started to deteriorate following a writer's strike, and then the rise of courtroom shows and real-live trials continued to put a wrench for soap fans.

[@AckzaTV]

8:15 A TRUE QUARTERMAIN NEVER LETS A WOMAN GET THE UPPER hAND lol two shots in close range lol wtf is going on, were these shows actually comedies or what?

[@mcganahanskjellyfetti7722]

Hal Linden was such a tool
