72 yrs is a very long time for a soap opera with raido and tv… I got back to the early 70s… I might of seen some of it before that not so sure as I was young… I watched as much as I could.. I remember Alan when Phillip was young and he did not know that Ross was his real father… He was just as bad then as he was up till a weekago… I remember Mindy, Phillip,Beth, and Mindy as school friends.. The only part of the ending I did not like is Riva did not get her husband back… The year later ending was great… Helped put and ending to everything… I will really miss that show
