AOL Video - Early '80's - Update #89 - boards.soapcentral.com
Good news, Another World fans...
soap central .com has broken the news that Procter & Gamble will be launching a new "Classic Soaps" channel that will allow soap fans to watch episodes of some of their most beloved, classic soaps.
One of the soaps will be Another World.
In conjunction with this, I am personally finishing up overseeing some of the technical things needed to re-launch the Another World section of the main soap central .com web site.
For complete details, please visit:

That is great news.
I am fortunate enough to have Soapnet so get to see Another World now but now others get to as well.

OHMYGOSH! Be still my heart!
This would be a dream come true for me!
I want so much to be able to see AW again!
It's supposed to start this week?
Dan, please get back to us when you find out more - mainly when the shows are going to start!
I went to the web site, but didn't see anything yet.
I can hardly wait!
Do you have any idea if they're going to be showing the same shows as those on SoapNet or if they're going to start with another year?
OHMYGOSH!
I can hardly believe it!

I think that it is supposed to start on Aug.

Thank you, Tanyia!

It's up!! They published 8 or 9 full episodes today!!!
I hope they don't do that every day or I'll get REALLY behind!
LOL! What a good problem!
http://videobeta.aol.com/video-categ...her-world/1915
As close as I can tell, they're starting in 1978.
They're talking about Blaine and I think she's still in Wyoming or Montana or wherever she's from.

Perhaps they will post a week at a time.
They may only want you to watch one episode a day!
Lol.
I refuse to watch until they get to the shows with the spiffy Crystal Gayle opening ;-)

LOL! Dan!
I'll have to check to see when that happens!
I'm watching the first episode right now.
Apparently it's August 1 or 2, 1980 because Russ Matthews just married Tracy DeWitt.
It's their wedding night and he's undressing her now.
PS:
This is the perfect time to start.
Cass comes on board July 21, 1982!
I hated that they started the SoapNet reruns so late because they missed some of Cass' best SL's - Cecile, Felicia, Wallingford!
I'm so excited to be able to see all that again!
Aaah!
Life is good!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally
Hopefully soon we will get to see Cass
|
|
|

I'm going to have to pull out my anniversary book and catch up on who's who during these episodes.

Aaah! Life is good!
I still don't understand why SoapNet started so late in the series.
Maybe they didn't have rights to anything earlier?
I would have LOVED to see the real old days that I remember watching with my Mother when I was a kid.

The ones on AOL are from 1980.
So it's not old old but older than Soapnets
|
|
|
|
|

There are some good things about starting in 1980 IMO.
Of course, the best is we get to see all of Cass!
Another is Cecille.
I think it's hard to "get" Cecille if you didn't see her when she was young, before the betrayal that made her cynical and "get them before they get you." She was such an interesting combination of sophisticated and naive because she had been raised with royalty and jet-setters, but protected.
I'm looking forward to seeing all that again.
And of course, dear Mac!
It's so good to see him again and he'll be around for several years.
I do have to say I was literally LOL at the gosh-awful jacket Mac was wearing in one of the episodes!
I always thought he had good taste - much have been the fashion of the day!

Soapnet was supposed to have started AW where they did because there was a problem with the quality of some of the older shows and music rights.
|
|
|
|

Lindaj, I heard that too, but the quality of the AW videos has been a pleasant surprise for me!
It takes awhile to upload the High Quality versions of the videos, but WOW!
I don't have a high definition TV and have been wanting one.
And of course, these old shows were not broadcast in HD.
But viewing them on the computer monitor allows them to be HD and it is amazing!!
Of course, I do get distracted by thinking "so-and-so has a scar," "such-and-such has a bruise," or "is that a pimple?" LOL!

I am so frustrated!
They publised 9 episodes on 8-16-06.
If fans watched one episode a day just on Monday through Friday like a current soap, they would have seen the last available show Monday, the 28th.
SO, when are they going to give us more episodes????
No one should know better than P&G that soap fans get frustrated and lose interest if they don't get to see their shows.
I've forgotten what was going on in the last episode because it's been so long.
|
|

|

I know the frustration.
I"ve been waiting for more eps too.
I hope they don't view this as a failed experiment.
It doesn't seem like there's much ad interest at least it seems to always be the same ads.
I've watched a couple of them more than once b/c Im not familiar with the show at this point (I was only a year old when they aired).
I've gotten into it more than I thought I would.
I have to admit that I love Blaine and seeing Cecil in her earlier days is wonderful.
So far the only 'old favorites' of mine I've been able to see are Ada, Rachel and Mac.
If they don't start releasing other eps then they will never catch up with Cass and the Loves.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah...what gives??
The same episodes have been there since 8/16.
I did watch a few clips, but it really didn't grab me.
I didn't start watching until the mid-80s.
Looking forward to seeing Ellen Wheeler as Marley/Vicky.
At this rate, I may be waiting a long time!

I noticted search for tomorrow is up as well but i can't dl them i can only watch them i would rather dl them myself owell maybe soon i can dl them come we need more AW up please

Welcome Aboard Dolphingirl!
I hope youre not as frustrated as I am with this!
Im beginning to think theyre never going to give us any more episodes!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am also hoping that they get to the mid-80s episodes soon because that's when my favorite-ever soap writer, Richard Culliton, first wrote for AW.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

I've about given up on seeing anymore episodes.
I've stopped checking daily.
I was hoping to see a post here saying there were more but no such luck.
I'm holding out some hope that they are just working out some kinks and more will be available soon with more frequent updates.

My sister emailed me and then, called me all excited about this.
We grew up in a very small town where everyone and their mother, grandmother, sisters - I think even some of the pets were hooked too LOL watched this soap.
You knew better to even think about calling anyone you knew between 3 pm and 4 pm weekdays when it was on our local station and I remember my Dear grandmother saying, "I have to be back by 3 pm for my story" when she was making plans to go shopping or somewhere with other people.
It wasn't a request, it was a fact.
My sister has been watching the episodes and just enjoying every second of it.
I would love to see the epiodes where Rachel is kidnapped by that evil Sfin (spx) and they send a tape recording to Mac etc.
I loved those episodes.
Plus anything with Jake, Marley, Vicky and later on, Frankie and Cass would be great to watch again.
I wish they would have never cancelled that soap - I still miss it.
It was nice though to hear how excited my sister was about this - thank you to those responsible for giving her that.
She still lives in the small town but I have moved to a city about an hour away and I have promised her we will get together and watch some of the shows together soon.

I loved another world and i am still piss they canceled it to bring Passions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They've finally posted 3 more eps on AW.
The episodes are #4104, #4111 and #4122 so there are gaps in between probably because the network doesn't have copies of all of the old episodes.
|

Thank you for telling us, Delly!!
I had become so frustrated I quit checking!
It's been so long since I watched the first episodes, I'm going to have to review them to see what was going on, but I can't wait to see the new ones.
I have to wonder if it'll be months before they offer more.
I hope not. I hope the delay was because some episodes were missing/poor quality and they're going to be offering them regularly now.
I'm trying to be optimistic here because I really want to see these reruns.
The Soap Net reruns started so late, some of Cass's best material was already past, so I was looking forward to seeing the older stuff.
Now I'm crossing my fingers that will happen.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

They've posted way more episodes now.
It seems that whatever kinks there were are now out of the way.
I'm off to see if I can figure out why I like Blaine even though she acts like an idiot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm thrilled! Now I have 24 more episodes to watch and I'm optimistic that there will be more by the time I'm finished with those.
Maybe I'm crazy - OK crazier than usual - but it seemed to me that episodes 4091 and 4092 were reversed.
IOW, that 4092 was the day before 4091.
On well!
I know what you mean about Blaine.
Even back then it was obvious to me that Blaine wasn't really a bad person, she just made the worst possible decisions and choices.

Thank you, I think the same and I can not believe NBC has kept Passions on this long.
What a turkey. I quit watching Days cause I am still so mad about AW.
Bring back AW, the best soap that was on TV, and kill that Turkey show (Passsions) and serve it up for Thanksgiving.
Than it truly will be a Happy Thanksgiving for all.

Lets hope they get to the Vicky/Marley storyline (1990-91) with Anne Heche when Marley was on trail for "Who Shot Jake".
She skipped town and Vicky pretended to be Marley while still slipping Vicky personality into her work." What a believable performance, this was just a preview of what was to come from this talented actor.
Thank you Anne for all your fine work on that show.
I wish you continued success, your work speaks for itself.
Cool Job your doing on Men in Trees.

I agree about Anne Heche.
I've been rewatching the Jake's shooting episodes recently.
It's remarkable how much screen time Heche has she must have been working non stop.
THey were crazy to let her go.
It's so clear which twin she's playing at any given moment.
And she actually made Marly interesting which IMO is no easy task.

Are there any plans for replacing Passions with Another World?
Let's advocate for it!

How can we download these episodes or view them?
Can you give us the link?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here Retromama, Mahdi already gave the link on page 1in this post .
If you select the regular quality you can probably view it right away.
If you download the HD version it takes awhile depending on the computer/connection you have but the HD version is insanely good quality.
And they update this so infrequently that you may as well take your time watching them.
