Phillips wrote: "As the world turns, we know the bleakness of winter, the promise of spring, the fullness of summer, and the harvest of autumn—the cycle of life is complete."<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>This was therefore shown in <i>As the World Turns</i>, with its slow-moving psychological character studies of families headed by legal and medical professionals. The personal and professional lives of doctors and lawyers remained central to <i>As the World Turns</i> throughout its run and eventually became standard fare on many soap operas. Whereas the 15-minute radio soaps often focused on one central, heroic character (for example, Dr. Jim Brent in Phillips' <i>Road of Life</i>), the expanded 30-minute format of <i>As the World Turns</i> enabled Phillips to introduce a handful of professionals within the framework of a <a href="/wiki/Family_saga" title="Family saga">family saga</a>. </p><p>Phillips' style favored gradual evolution over radical change. Slow, conversational, and emotionally intense, the show moved at the pace of life itself – and sometimes even more slowly than that. Each new addition to the cast was done in a gradual manner and was usually a key contact to one of the members of the Hughes family. As such, the show earned a reputation as being quite <a href="/wiki/Conservative" class="mw-redirect" title="Conservative">conservative</a>, though the show did showcase a <a href="/wiki/Gay" title="Gay">gay</a> male character in 1988.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> During the show's early decades, the content-related policies of its sponsor <a href="/wiki/Procter_%26_Gamble_Productions" class="mw-redirect" title="Procter & Gamble Productions">Procter & Gamble Productions</a> may have contributed to the perception of conservatism.

Like several other characters from <i>Another World</i>, Mitchell Dru "crossed over" for one or more performances on the first <i>Another World</i> spin-off, <i><a href="/wiki/Somerset_(TV_series)" title="Somerset (TV series)">Somerset</a></i>, which premiered in March 1970.</li></ul></li> <li>1965 <ul><li>The character <a href="/wiki/Lisa_Grimaldi" title="Lisa Grimaldi">Lisa Miller Hughes</a> (<a href="/wiki/Eileen_Fulton" title="Eileen Fulton">Eileen Fulton</a>) was used as the basis to create a primetime spinoff soap <i><a href="/wiki/Our_Private_World" title="Our Private World">Our Private World</a></i>, (CBS's attempt to duplicate the success of rival network ABC's <i><a href="/wiki/Peyton_Place_(TV_series)" title="Peyton Place (TV series)">Peyton Place</a></i>), with Lisa leaving Oakdale and moving to Chicago, where she married wealthy John Eldridge, but had an affair with his brother Thomas. Though <i>Our Private World</i> only lasted a few months, and Fulton returned to <i>As the World Turns</i> in early 1966, after taking a few months off, remnants of Lisa's time on <i>Our Private World</i> were resurrected 26 years later, when it was revealed in 1992 that Lisa had had a son off-camera, hitherto unknown to viewers, before returning to <i>As the World Turns</i> in 1966. Her son Scott Eldridge tracked her down as an adult and remained on <i>As the World Turns</i> for several years.</li></ul></li> <li>1999–2003 <ul><li>Shortly after <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a> canceled <i>Another World</i> on April 12, 1999, with the series finale that aired on June 25 of the same year, the characters of Cass and Lila Winthrop (<a href="/wiki/Stephen_Schnetzer" title="Stephen Schnetzer">Stephen Schnetzer</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lisa_Peluso" title="Lisa Peluso">Lisa Peluso</a>), and <a href="/wiki/Jake_McKinnon" title="Jake McKinnon">Jake</a> and <a href="/wiki/Vicky_Hudson" title="Vicky Hudson">Victoria McKinnon</a> (<a href="/wiki/Tom_Eplin" title="Tom Eplin">Tom Eplin</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jensen_Buchanan" title="Jensen Buchanan">Jensen Buchanan</a>) crossed over to <i>As the World Turns</i> briefly. Jake and Vicky intended to move to Oakdale, but Vicky was soon killed off in September 1999, then appeared as a ghost to Jake and Molly from November 2000 to February 2001. Cass only appeared on a recurring basis through 2003 (usually whenever anyone in Oakdale needed an attorney other than resident lawyer Tom Hughes), and Jake (<a href="/wiki/Tom_Eplin" title="Tom Eplin">Tom Eplin</a>) remained as a regular on the series until his character was killed off in 2002. Cindy Brooke Harrison (<a href="/wiki/Kim_Rhodes" title="Kim Rhodes">Kim Rhodes</a>) also had minor appearances in 2000 and 2001.

So, to many long-time fans of both <i>As the World Turns</i> and <i>The Young and the Restless</i>, seeing LeBlanc as the character from the latter show was weird.

By the mid-1960s, it was so firmly entrenched that its strongest competition, <i><a href="/wiki/Let%27s_Make_a_Deal" title="Let's Make a Deal">Let's Make a Deal</a></i>, despite developing a devoted fan base in its own right and becoming one of daytime's most popular game shows, could not come close to matching it in the <a href="/wiki/Nielsen_ratings" class="mw-redirect" title="Nielsen ratings">Nielsens</a>. </p><p>Its strength was such that ABC ran hour-long drama reruns in the 1:00–2:00 pm. (noon–1:00 Central) slot in the mid-1960s and NBC, after losing <i>Deal</i> to ABC in 1968, ran a total of eight shows, all short-lived (with the exception of <i><a href="/wiki/Three_on_a_Match_(game_show)" title="Three on a Match (game show)">Three on a Match</a></i>, which lasted three years), against <i>As the World Turns</i> and <i>Let's Make a Deal</i> from that point until 1975. </p><p>As that year began, <i>Another World</i> was expanded to 60 minutes, with its first hour-long episode airing on January 6, 1975. Although this did not directly affect <i>As the World Turns</i>, as the two shows were not in competition for anything other than the overall ratings win, CBS' afternoon lineup suffered some ratings damage as the popular soap put a dent in the ratings of two popular afternoon game shows, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Price_Is_Right" title="The Price Is Right">The Price Is Right</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Match_Game" title="Match Game">Match Game</a></i>. NBC, pleased by the success that the expansion of <i>Another World</i> had brought to the network, elected to do the same thing with <i>Days of Our Lives</i> beginning on April 21, 1975; this put <i>Days of Our Lives</i> and <i>As the World Turns</i> in direct competition for ratings. Incidentally, the expansions were occurring six and a half years after the last two 15-minute serials, <i>Search for Tomorrow</i> and <i>The Guiding Light</i>, expanded to 30 minutes. </p><p>CBS considered expanding <i>As the World Turns</i> and <i>Search for Tomorrow</i> to 45 minutes (eliminating the timeslot during which stations broadcast local or syndicated programs), but eventually decided to expand <i>As the World Turns</i>, its front-runner in the ratings battle, to a full-hour length. Initially, in order to free up the necessary 30 minutes to do so, CBS returned <i>The Price Is Right</i>, which had been paired with <i>Match Game</i> for the previous two years as part of the network's successful 3 p.m. game show block, to the morning. However, CBS changed course and decided that it would also attempt an expansion of <i>Price</i> to 60 minutes; this meant that, if the plans to expand <i>As the World Turns</i> were to go as anticipated, CBS would need to cancel a program to free up that 30 minutes of airtime it needed. </p><p>At the time CBS was having ratings trouble with <i><a href="/wiki/The_Edge_of_Night" title="The Edge of Night">The Edge of Night</a></i>. Procter & Gamble had demanded that CBS give the serial the 2:30 p.m. slot following <i>The Guiding Light</i> in 1972, moving it from the 3:30 p.m. slot it had held since 1963. This decision proved to be a grave mistake. <i>The Edge of Night</i>, which had a much younger and more male-centric audience than almost any other serial on television when the move was made, lost a large portion of its audience, especially to NBC's <i><a href="/wiki/The_Doctors_(1963_TV_series)" title="The Doctors (1963 TV series)">The Doctors</a>,</i> at the height of its popularity at the time. In addition, the rest of CBS' drama lineup was performing well in the ratings and the network could not move the long-running serial to another timeslot without risking preemption from local affiliates, which would almost certainly have driven ratings even lower. </p><p>At the same time, ABC expressed interest in picking up <i>The Edge of Night</i> for its own lineup as it had been interested in carrying a P&G-produced serial for some time, supplementing its in-house productions. An agreement was struck between CBS, Procter & Gamble, and ABC to get the necessary 30 minutes for the <i>As the World Turns</i> expansion. CBS would not renew <i>The Edge of Night</i> once its contract was up, Procter & Gamble would move the serial to ABC, and thus <i>As the World Turns</i> could go ahead with its expansion. </p><p>However, a major issue arose that halted the planned shuffle. CBS was contracted to air <i>The Edge of Night</i> until December 1975, and ABC had no place in its schedule to put it at the time. This forced CBS to temporarily postpone expanding <i>As the World Turns</i> and keep <i>The Edge of Night</i> until ABC could find a timeslot for it. Finally, in November, ABC agreed that <i>The Edge of Night</i> would join its lineup on December 1, replacing the game show <i><a href="/wiki/You_Don%27t_Say!" title="You Don't Say!">You Don't Say!</a></i> at 4:00 p.m. (closer to its pre-1972 timeslots) and keeping the serial's continuity intact. And thus, <i>As the World Turns</i> became CBS' first 60-minute daytime serial. </p><p>The first half of the newly-expanded show continued to perform well against <i>Let's Make a Deal</i> on ABC, which the network moved to the noon/11 a.m. timeslot within four weeks of the expansion. The second half put <i>As the World Turns</i> in competition with ABC's most-popular game show, <i><a href="/wiki/Pyramid_(game_show)" class="mw-redirect" title="Pyramid (game show)">The $10,000 Pyramid</a></i>, which had done well against <i>Guiding Light</i> since the network moved it to 2:00 p.m. in December 1974 and kept doing so against <i>As the World Turns</i>. Although the expansion was not a complete success, at the end of the season, the serial was again at the top of the daytime Nielsens, despite a 1.4-point drop from the year before. </p><p>Although the eventual hit game show <i><a href="/wiki/Family_Feud" title="Family Feud">Family Feud</a></i> ran against <i>As The World Turns</i> from July 12, 1976 until April 22, 1977, it did not become a hit for ABC until its move to the mornings. Only when ABC made its first move to a one-hour soap with <i><a href="/wiki/All_My_Children" title="All My Children">All My Children</a></i> did trouble really begin for <i>As the World Turns</i> and NBC's ( <i>Days of Our Lives</i>), since ABC kept that serial's starting time at 1:00/noon, meaning that fans of that serial who tuned to NBC or CBS would miss the last half of that day's storyline (or, contrariwise, would not, if they watched until the mid-program commercial break and then changed channels, pick up the <i>As the World Turns</i> or <i>Days of Our Lives</i> activities from the episode's beginning, since ABC strategically placed its break several minutes after, rather than exactly at, the bottom of the hour). Further, <i>All My Children</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s emphasis on youth-oriented, sexier storylines provided a sharp contrast to the domestic, almost quaint tone of <i>As the World Turns</i> (and to a lesser degree, the melodramatic, somewhat topical <i>Days</i>). On January 16, 1978, ABC ballooned its decade-old <i><a href="/wiki/One_Life_to_Live" title="One Life to Live">One Life to Live</a></i> to the 2:00 PM/1:00 p.m. starting time, compounding the other networks' headaches. These factors helped contribute to the fall of <i>As the World Turns</i> from the top spot in the ratings at the end of the 1978-79 season. After finishing the previous season tied with <i>Another World</i> for number one in the Nielsens, <i>As the World Turns</i> fell to fourth behind <i>All My Children</i>, <i><a href="/wiki/General_Hospital" title="General Hospital">General Hospital</a></i>, and <i>The Young and the Restless</i>. </p><p>On February 4, 1980, CBS moved and expanded <i>The Young and the Restless</i> to a full hour after the cancellation of the long-tenured <i><a href="/wiki/Love_of_Life" title="Love of Life">Love of Life</a></i>. <i>The Young and the Restless</i> moved from noon/11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m./noon (the former affiliate break timeslot) and <i>As the World Turns</i> was bumped up to 2:00/1:00 p.m. and <i>Guiding Light</i> to 3:00/2:00 p.m. On June 8, 1981, <i>As the World Turns</i> returned to its traditional 1:30/12:30 p.m. start time with <i><a href="/wiki/Search_for_Tomorrow" title="Search for Tomorrow">Search for Tomorrow</a></i> following at 2:30/1:30 p.m. and <i>The Young and the Restless</i> leading off the serial lineup at either noon/11:00 a.m. or 12:30 p.m./11:30 a.m. (depending on affiliate preference). </p><p><i>As the World Turns</i> remained at 1:30/12:30 p.m. until March 20, 1987, when CBS cancelled the five-year-old <i><a href="/wiki/Capitol_(TV_series)" title="Capitol (TV series)">Capitol</a></i> in favor of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Bold_and_the_Beautiful" title="The Bold and the Beautiful">The Bold and the Beautiful</a></i>. CBS scheduled it at 1:30/12:30 p.m., and finally settled <i>As the World Turns</i> at 2:00/1:00 p.m., where it remained until its final network episode in September 2010. Although facing the full length of <i>Another World</i> and <i>One Life to Live</i> once again, the <a href="/wiki/Douglas_Marland" title="Douglas Marland">Douglas Marland</a> era of 1985 to 1993 had a resurgence in ratings, and by 1991, it was back in its once-habitual top-four placing. <i>As the World Turns</i> survived NBC's cancellation of its sister series <i>Another World</i> in 1999. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cancellation_and_final_episode">Cancellation and final episode</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=As_the_World_Turns&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Cancellation and final episode"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On December 8, 2009, CBS confirmed that it would not renew <i>As the World Turns</i>.

The final scene showed Dr. Bob Hughes (played by Don Hastings) retiring from Oakdale Memorial Hospital. In the scene, Bob is packing up his office and talking to his wife, Kim Hughes (Kathryn Hays). She leaves and tells Bob to take as much time as he needed to say goodbye. Bob looked around, put his <a href="/wiki/Nameplate" title="Nameplate">nameplate</a> in his <a href="/wiki/Briefcase" title="Briefcase">briefcase</a>, and spoke the show's final line, "Good night." That line was a bookend to the beginning of the show in 1956, and the first line spoken, "Good morning." The camera panned to the <a href="/wiki/Globe" title="Globe">globe</a> on Bob's desk spinning - a reference to the show's title - before the final fade-out. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Ratings">Ratings</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=As_the_World_Turns&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Ratings"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b><a href="/wiki/List_of_American_daytime_soap_opera_ratings" title="List of American daytime soap opera ratings">Series ratings</a></b> </p><p>One example of the drastic change in daytime television can be found in the following: </p> <ul><li><b>Daytime history: Highest rated week (November 16–20, 1981)</b></li> <li><b>(Household ratings- Nielsen Media Research)</b></li></ul> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Rank/serial</th> <th>Household rating</th> <th>(Time slot) Network </th></tr> <tr> <td>1. <i><a href="/wiki/General_Hospital" title="General Hospital">General Hospital</a></i></td> <td>16.0</td> <td>(3-4pm) ABC </td></tr> <tr> <td>2. <i><a href="/wiki/All_My_Children" title="All My Children">All My Children</a></i></td> <td>10.2</td> <td>(1-2pm) ABC </td></tr> <tr> <td>3. <i><a href="/wiki/One_Life_to_Live" title="One Life to Live">One Life to Live</a></i></td> <td>10.2</td> <td>(2-3pm) ABC </td></tr> <tr> <td>4. <i><a href="/wiki/Guiding_Light" title="Guiding Light">Guiding Light</a></i></td> <td>7.5</td> <td>(3-4pm) CBS </td></tr> <tr> <td>5. <i><a href="/wiki/The_Young_and_the_Restless" title="The Young and the Restless">The Young and the Restless</a></i></td> <td>7.0</td> <td>(12:30–1:30pm) CBS </td></tr></tbody></table> <p><b>1995 ratings</b> </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Rank/serial</th> <th>Millions of viewers </th></tr> <tr> <td>1. <i>The Young and the Restless</i></td> <td>7.2 </td></tr> <tr> <td>2. <i>All My Children</i></td> <td>5.891 </td></tr> <tr> <td>3. <i>General Hospital</i></td> <td>5.343 </td></tr> <tr> <td>4. <i>The Bold and the Beautiful</i></td> <td>5.247 </td></tr> <tr> <td>5. <i>One Life to Live</i></td> <td>5.152 </td></tr></tbody></table> <p><i>As the World Turns</i> spent a record-breaking 20 years on top of the Nielsen ratings for American daytime soap operas, from 1958 to 1978.
