Another World was a television soap opera that ran on the NBC network from May 4, 1964 to June 25, 1999.
It was created by legendary serial creator Irna Phillips along with William J. Bell, and was produced by Procter & Gamble Productions in studios located in Brooklyn.
Set in the fictional town of Bay City, the show in its early years opened with announcer Bill Wolff (1964-1987) intoning its epigram, “We do not live in this world alone, but in a thousand other worlds,” which Irna said represented the difference between “the world of events we live in, and the world of feelings and dreams that we strive for.”
AW was the first soap opera to talk about abortion in 1964 when such subjects were taboo.
It was the first soap opera to do a crossover, with the character of Mike Bauer from Guiding Light coming from Springfield to Bay City, and the first to go to one hour, then to 90 minutes, and then back to an hour.
It was the first soap to launch two spin-offs (Somerset and Texas) as well as an indirect one (Lovers and Friends, which would be re-named For Richer For Poorer).
Another World was also the first soap opera with a theme song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 “(You Take Me Away To) Another World” by Crystal Gayle and Gary Morris, in 1987.
The Another World TV series also gave a big break to many actors and actresses who went on to become household names on the big screen, such as Morgan Freeman (as Roy Bingham), Kelsey Grammer (as Dr. Canard), Ray Liotta (as Joey Perrini), Julian McMahon (as Ian Rain) and Eric Roberts (as Ted Bancroft).
Created by Irna Phillips, William J. Bell. With Anne Heche, Jane Krakowski, Victoria Wyndham.
