The Edge of Night
''The Edge of Night'' is an American television mystery series/soap opera produced by Procter & Gamble. It debuted on CBS on April 2, 1956, and ran as a live broadcast on that network for most of its run until November 28, 1975; the series then moved to ABC, where it aired from December 1, 1975, until December 28, 1984. 7,420 episodes were produced, of which some 1,800 are available for syndication.
==Concept==
''The Edge of Night'', whose working title was ''The Edge of Darkness'', premiered on April 2, 1956, as one of the first two half-hour soaps on television, the other being ''As the World Turns''. Prior to the debuts of both shows, 15-minute long shows had been the standard. Both shows aired on CBS, sponsored by Procter & Gamble.
The show was originally conceived as the daytime television version of ''Perry Mason'', which was popular in novel and radio formats at the time. Mason's creator Erle Stanley Gardner was to create and write the show, but a last-minute tiff between him and the CBS network caused Gardner to pull his support from the idea. CBS insisted that Mason be given a love interest to placate daytime soap opera audiences, but Gardner refused to take Mason in that direction. Gardner eventually patched up his differences with CBS, and ''Perry Mason'' debuted in prime time in 1957.
In 1956, a writer from the ''Perry Mason'' radio show, Irving Vendig, created a retooled idea for daytime television—and ''The Edge of Night'' was born. "John Larkin, radio's best identified Perry Mason, was cast as the protagonist-star, initially as a detective, eventually as an attorney, in a thinly veiled copy of ''Perry Mason''."〔Cox, Jim, ''Radio Crime Fighters'', 2002, p. 201, McFarland, Jefferson, North Carolina, ISBN 0-7864-1390-5〕
