Article might should metion the origin of the show as a soap opera version of Perry Mason, which is how it began. Also, Karr's close friendship with police chief Bill Marceau, sort of unusual for a defense attorney, even in a soap opera.

[edit] ABC affiliates that don't air the show
I thought I was rather clear in my edit summary. Now don't take this personally, because this is not an attack on you or your work, but I don't feel that list helps the article at all, because by the time the show was canceled, nearly 50 affiliates did not air The Edge of Night. Right now you have listed three affiliates, which is not only bordering on minute trivia, it's incomplete minute trivia at that. Hopefully you will see my side. When I wake up tomorrow, I'm going to remove the section again. Again, don't take this as a personal attack, but I don't think it needs to be mentioned in an encyclopedia article. It's not as if the show is still airing or anything. Mike H. That's hot 07:57, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
I would remove the section and merge that with another section. The sentence "When the show moved to ABC in 1975, most stations drop the show in favor of local programming, syndicated shows, or local news." is useful, but a list of every station that dropped them is not. - cohesion★talk 08:06, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi, this is in response to the request for comment. The basic rule at wikipedia for section inclusion is that the section has to be capable of not being a stub. My question is, for the person who wants to keep it, can this section conceivably expand to a a non-stub size?--Urthogie 14:50, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re reply
I've removed the "ABC affiliates didn't air the show" category. I'm sorry that I say please don't change it. I've removed that category, I sorry that I don't want to say "Are you happy now?" or other sayings.

[edit] A question about THE EDGE OF NIGHT moving to Color in 1967
I've got a question, why did CBS-TV decided to switch to COLOR for THE EDGE of NIGHT on September 5, 1967 rather than in February-March 1967 like other P&G soaps on CBS did? To me it's IRONIC that THE EDGE OF NIGHT was the last P&G Soap to switch to COLOR.

- I don't know what to tell you. I don't think that question can be answered...it's not documented or anything.
- You can sign your name by using four tildes (four of ~) instead of having to type in your name each time. Mike H. That's hot 08:07, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
I disagree, and WTH is four tildes (four of ~) is??? Spencer Karter
- This ~ is a tilde. You know, the little thing that goes about Spanish ñ's? Four of them together signs your name plus the time you wrote your comment, so it's easier to document what happened when. And what is there to disagree about? Can you find documentation for that rather mundane detail? Mike H. That's hot 08:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RfC issue?
Just came in when I saw the RfC. Is the issue now resolved? | Klaw ¡digame! 00:39, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yes. The section is no longer in the article. Mike H. That's hot 00:57, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] EoN Anniversary
I will add a link that shows a 50th anniversary close for this show. Somebody else made it, and I figured I can show what it might have looked like today. 71.111.215.224 20:22, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
