Flashback: The Edge of Night 1980

Episode #6282 - On Monday, June 16, 1980, THE EDGE OF NIGHT introduced its fourth title sequence. Since fictional Monticello had obviously mushroomed from an "average-sized city" to a bustling metropolis, the producers eliminated the trusty Cincinnati skyline, replacing it with an up-to-date shot of Los Angeles. The opening title began with an upwardly moving shot of skyscrapers then dissolved into an extended series of original still-shots of the cast. The final castmember still-shot then segued into the LA skyline, the show's logo moved to the top of the screen from behind the city, and the skyline darkened to night.
