Search For Tomorrow 1960. Larry Hagman. CBS Network.

[@ga6589]

I remember my mother watched SFT, followed by the Guiding Light. The shows only lasted 15 minutes in those days.

[@garymattscheck9066]

I remember my mom watching this as well.

[@laminage]

Smokey Robinson used to watch them as a teenager in the 1950's.

[@triciaannhellums13]

I was 5 yrs old. I wish soap operas was still like this. But aren't. Those days are gone 4 ever.

[@GLBizzie]

I still love soap operas but they are trying too hard to be campy and all over the place. I miss the days when it was about human storys and family’s and not about a devil tearing down a town and it’s characters lmao

[@Soapluvva]

Dwight Weist was the longtime announcer of "Search for Tomorrow" in the early days of the show. I took an acting class at his school, Weist-Barron, in Manhattan during the summer of 1979. His business partner, Bob Barron, was the father of actress Dana Barron. Bob taught the lectures and Dwight taught the videotape acting practice sessions. I had worked in the CBS Broadcast Center at 524 West 57 Street during the summer of 1974 and used to see a lot of actors, including those from SFT, in the halls, control rooms, soundstages, cafeteria, and elevator. Black-and-white kinescopes were produced in an area called "Telecine." While a show was being performed live or being videotaped, a film camera was pointed at a very tiny TV monitor which had a bright image. One day, I noticed a piece of film sitting on a table which had a film camera. I picked it up and examined it. I saw a few frames of planet Earth from the opening billboard of "As the World Turns."

I love these old soaps! Don Knotts was on S4T and this one Larry Hagnan! My grandma used to watch every day! Most times with tears streaming down her face.

[@dominickdirienzo8266]

9:06, Larry Hagman, long before he became JR Ewing on Dallas. I think he was on The Edge of Night from 1960-1963 where he played Ed Gibson, an attorney who married Chief of Police Bill Marceau’s daughter Judy.

[@bmasters1981]

And he introduced himself as Cliff Williams here.

[@lmitchell477]

That is definitely Larry Hagman

[@larkpraise]

This was before my time but I wish we could go back in time. Such a simpler time.

[@amiblueful]

The time wasn't really simpler though, the media just portrayed it that way. America was in the middle of the Cold War and was paranoid about threats of nuclear attack. The KKK was hugely influential, racial segregation was still a thing, and the Civil Rights Act was still a few years away. The tobacco companies were still hiding the dangers of smoking. The list goes on. The same kinds of things that are going on now where going on then. The only difference is that information is disseminated more freely because of advances in technology. There was a comment in a YT video from the 1970s that was similar. I grew up in the 1970s. It was NOT great.

[@GLBizzie]

@@amiblueful the media wasn’t even that friendlier or portrayed it different than today. Lmao

[@MoviecraftInc]

My Pleasure!

[@terencedove5047]

Larry Hagman would also appear on THE EDGE OF NIGHT during the early 60s for a number of episodes. I guess in his own way he would become a CBS soap opera fixture over the years, appearing here on SFT, on EON, and of course on DALLAS (his best remembered role being J.R.). This was before and after his NBC ‘I Dream Of Jeannie’ years, to be sure…

[@kathleenking47]

I liked him better as Tony nelson😊

[@willdrucker4291]

[@laminage]

I told UK Soap Fans about how Soaps were back in the day and they were in stiches. In the UK they are all independently owned. Yet if there is one thing that they have in common is that their UK Alumni have done very well on shows that have been broadcasted on PBS, & HBO. Suranne Jones (Gentleman Jack), Sarah Lancashire (Last Tango In Halifax, Happy Valley, Julia), Rob James Collier & Joanna Frogatt (Downton Abbey), were alumni of Coronation Street, while Jenna Louise Coleman (Victoria) was on Emmerdale. In one of the early episodes of eastenders in 1985 they had a Box of Pampers. I told them that they were paying homage to US Soaps without realizing it.

[@diamondtiara84]

That's funny, Larry Hagman's name was Cliff, the same name as his enemy on "Dallas".

Cigarettes; part of a balanced 1960's breakfast.

[@smilanesi98]

Barbara Baxley. We know her also from the Twilight Zone, Hitchcock, and Perry Mason from those days.

[@Robert-qm5so]

Yes , and I believe the young teenage girl is Lynn Loring

[@davidcouch6514]

I thought she was familiar, I recall No Way To Treat A Lady, another dark comedy.

[@richardcoronado4081]

Funny to see Larry Hangman smoking in this scene bc for years he campaigned hard against smoking in many anti-smoking crusades.

[@LIBERTUPASTORBEY]

By the time he started I Dream of Jeannie, he had quit smoking cold turkey after reading what smoking does health-wise. This is why we never saw Captain/Major Nelson smoking.

[@garymattscheck9066]

Before I Dream Of Jeannie and Dallas.

[@laminage]

Don't forget he played a Homophobic Abusive Husband in The Group. Larry Hagman was also homophobic in real life.

[@josephgeorge7385]

Always like JR great actor

Wow Larry Hagman was only 29 here.

[@junejones9819]

I wonder is Dash detergent still around.😊💖. This show is 🏆

[@catherineerwin8269]

Good episode! I like Larry Hagman & the rest of the cast’s acting. But, Cliff comes off as being a bit creepy in his interest in Patty & her story about Ted. I always loved SFT especially Joanne, Stu & Marge & later Eunice. Thank you for this video.

[@karenanderson3276]

Never used Ivory Snow, but it existed and was still on the selves in the 90's

[@kirkmorgan-austin8361]

Lynn Loring had about another year to go on the show.She stayed 10 years,Her character was a rarity,A child character allowed to age without becoming a victim of SORAS (known in soap circles as Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) After Lynn left her character was perhaps the most recast character in soap history.After the character was absent for some 10 years Patti was cast about a decade younger than she would've been‼️

[@a.b.s_productions]

I believe her and Jada Rowland from Secret Storm were two soap actresses who aged real time on a soap.

[@sandrasanders706]

[@blockcl]

When did soap operas quit using organ music as background? I've seen snippets of shows from as late as 1967 still using it.

[@a.b.sproductionsllc]

I believe 1975 was when they stopped. I think Edge of Night might have been the last soap to do so.

[@kevinfitzmaurice4072]

The daytime game show "Concentration" used organ music during its original incarnation, from New York, until NBC cancelled the show in 1973. It was charmingly outdated, and it sounded like being at a weekday afternoon major league baseball game.

[@a.b.sproductionsllc]

@@kevinfitzmaurice4072 Or at a roller skating rink. I believe at one time those places used to have an organist before switching to Top 40.

[@kengeorgejones6855]

Thank you for sharing this. I'd never seen this episode. It's another reminder of why IMDB corrections are important - they have the wrong first name (Curt - his name is Cliff), and I'm not sure if the year is accurate either. It's listed as 1957. I guess this could be 1957, as apparently Ted and Millicent are also listed for 1957-1958.

[@MoviecraftInc]

We went back to the 16mm kinescope and found the actual airdate in the leader. Airdate August 31, 1960.

[@powerboatguy2308]

In this scene Larry Hagman reminds me of Jack Ellis who is probably best known playing Jim Fenner on Bad Girls. A real snake, charmer who slept his way through the Halls of Larkhall Women's Prison.
