Back when I was still in Junior High, my Mom ask me to start
recording her Soap's while she was at work and one of them was
Guiding Light. For the first month of taping the shows for her,
I didn't care too much about what was going storywise. And then
it happened. I got sucked into the show, most notably the
Lukack/Beth arc as well as the Darcy and the Galahag's. And then
there was the whole Tony/Annabelle/Susan Piper/Haunted House
storyline. Can't forget about Josh/Reva either. It just
snowballed from there. That first month ended up turning into 10
years before I quit the show. But it was the first few years
(83-86) that were epic.
I've read a lot of comments and articles over the years to see
what other people thought of those years and it's been viewed by
many to be the best years ever for the series. After quitting
the show, every 5 years or so I would tune in for an episode or
two just to see what was going on. It never had the same magic
or whatever you want to call it and I'd leave. I did tune in to
watch the final episode to see how it would end. I wasn't
surprise that Josh and Reva closed it out, as they should have.
But as far as the rest of the episode...I was totally lost. Even
some familiar faces couldn't make me get into it.
Anyway, I came across bluerose's YouTube Channel and was shocked
to see that it had not just some, but a lot of episodes from the
best years and it's been a trip to watch these episodes that I
have not seen since the day they aired. We are talking almost 30
years time between then and now. I started watching this channel
on September 1, 2012 and I'm knocking them out pretty fast.
There are some huge gaps that are missing, episode-wise, so it
makes it hard to really do any sort of episode reviews. I will
probably see if I can find other YouTube Channels that might
have episodes that can fill in the spaces. If they exist, I will
for sure do episode reviews like I do with all the other shows
on Penny Can.

I gotta point out after watching a few episodes now that Larry
Gates as H.B. Lewis and Beverlee McKinsey as Alexandra Spaulding
own it. They were the best things then and they are STILL the
best things about the show now. Talk about actors that took
everyone else to school. They made every other actor on the show
look ridiculously out of their league.
