Here's another still/review pairing:
I'm not so sure what was wrong with "soap opera gothic," especially considering that is exactly what most of us liked about the daytime DS. But then the early '70s were still a time when people looked down their noses at soaps and they were practically considered by too many as the bottom of the barrel. How times would change. But at least, unlike Parents Magazine's' review, this one credits the cast's talents. (But then, Parents definitely falls into the category of places where soaps were considered the bottom of the barrel.

I'm not usually a fan of colorizing B&W photos, but whoever was responsible for doing the colorizing in this instance did an exceptional job. They could have definitely taught their counterparts at MPI a thing or two!
