Airdate 09/13/09 Morley Safer interviews the actors and writers behind broadcasting's longest running drama, "Guiding Light." Anything could happen and it usually did in the fictitious town of Springfield, where death and rebirth were as common as heartbreak, infidelity, kidnapping, suicide, sin, sex, and salvation. But after 72 years on the air, the venerable soap opera finally broadcast the last of its 20,000 episodes.

This behind the scenes special on Guiding Light's finale was excellent. It captured the recent crew and cast going about the business
of creating the final episodes while experiencing great displays of personal emotions. I watched the show in the 1970's and 1980's and started watching again when I heard it would be cancelled. GL was unique in their production style (compared to all other current soaps) and the sheer longevity of many of the cast and crew
was remarkable. It's a shame how low ratings can dictate the fate of so many people. 60 minutes was on target in their interviews and overview of the show.
The segment was too short in time given the 72 years history of GL!

Thanks for putting this in a great format on DVD. Now I can finally erase the show from my DVR! And, as a 2nd generation, life-long viewer, I will always cherish this.

I was a lifelong Guiding Light fan and was deeply saddened by its cancellation. I was on Amazon and just typed in Guiding Light DVD, and found this item. And, am I glad I did!!! I watched the segment when it aired on 60 Minutes last year, but apparently I missed some of it, because when I watched the DVD, I saw interviews I must have missed. This item is great for GL fans and it comes in a standard DVD case of the quality you would find in stores, which was more than I initally expected. Thank you Amazon for offering this product and I will definitely make more purchases!
