canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

Guiding Light: Petition to Continue the Venerable Soap Opera

Guiding LightAfter more than 15,700 episodes, CBS has cancelled Guiding Light.

Thankfully, the company that actually owns the show, Proctor & Gamble, wants to keep it going — perhaps online or via a cable channel. Jeannie Tharrington, Director of Communications of P&G’s TeleNext, said, “We’re looking at all our options. This show started as a 15-minute radio show, and then it was a half-hour television show, so it has adapted over the years.”

If you’d like to see the show continue, let them know that you support their efforts and encourage them to keep searching to find a way to “keep the light on.” Here are some suggestions.

If you like the show, make sure that you tune in to watch it on CBS. Encourage your friends to do the same. The show’s decline in viewers is the reason why the show was cancelled. The higher the viewership, the more likely it is that P&G will be able to find a new home for the soap.

Consider buying P&G products. They make hundreds like Bounty, Bounce, Clairol, Crest, Dawn, Gillette, Head & Shoulders, Ivory, Mr. Clean, Old Spice, Pampers, and Pringles. You can visit their site to see the full list. You probably buy some already.

Sign the petition below and let P&G know that you’ve signed it. Spread the word.

Write to P&G and let them know how you feel about the show. Tell that you’re buying their products and which ones you like. Are you a stockholder? Let them know. Be respectful and polite. The company obviously want to be able to keep Light going if they can profit from it. It can be a win-win situation for everyone.
Mr. Alan Lafley, CEO, Proctor and Gamble, Guiding Light support, 1 P&G Plaza, Cincinnati, OH 45201

The last episode will air on CBS on September 18th so don’t delay!


To: Mr. Alan Lafley, CEO of Proctor and Gamble

We the undersigned are faithful viewers of Guiding Light and are dismayed that the program has been cancelled by CBS. This soap has been going for over 70 years and we believe it should not end now. It has evolved in the past and can do so again.

We appreciate that you are seeking a way to continue the soap in some way once it leaves CBS in September. We implore you to keep working until this becomes a reality. We support you through the products that we purchase and will continue to support Guiding Light.

Thank you for your consideration.

    11 years later and people still yearn for the return of this classic show. Please bring back Guiding Light!
  • Wendy YoungbloodCountry: United States2020-07-16 13:14:40
    Miss the Guiding Light so much! I've began to watch old episodes on YouTube. It be great to see it back on the air again!
  • Dawn P.Country: US2019-05-20 01:20:02
    I began watching the show when my Grama watched when I was about 10 or so(about mid 70's). As life went on and I was growing up, I kept watching all the time. In my adulthood, aside from drama of my own, yes, I still watched the show. I feel the show's interesting and engaging characters and the best in writing abilities really made the best soap opera ever to grace the radio and air waves ever. I eagerly and desperately hope and pray for the show's return. I really feel it will make a terrific comeback to those that were watching when it was cancelled and possibly catch the younger generation by surprise. Thank you though P&G for many years of interesting drama which made contentment for me and my Grama.

    Bring it back. All the great actors would come back. Be a trend setter, be the first network to bring a show back. The rating will hit the roof for dong something that has never been done before. Think about it. Do it.

  • judith boydCountry: united states2016-03-15 11:41:42
    please bring back guiding light and as the world turns i've been watching those shows since my oldest son was born that was 60 yrs ago my son is now deceased & so is my favorite show I can't bring back my son but I hope you can bring back my shows
  • JessCountry: USA2016-03-01 13:24:38
    I watched Guiding Light for 34 years! Now that is dedication to a fabulous day time soap opera. I know that all good things do come to an end at some point, but they also can come back after many years, lets say 7 years. Please bring Guiding Light back to CBS Daytime.
  • Annette BondCountry: USA2015-07-24 15:35:19
    Really wish Guiding Light would return. Nothing to watch on CBS daytime anymore.
  • Linda HoneycuttCountry: USA2015-07-07 08:39:46
    The Guideing Light was all I ever Watched, And now that it was taken off the Air , Replaced with Let's Make A Deal . As of now I don't even Watch CBS , And as I saw another message posted I don't bother to buy P&G Products no more if they Can run Commercials all over evey Network I don't see how this Beloved Show can Break Them , I Bet that if Its return came back this would be the Best Move a CEO and CBS could ever make , And the Rateing would be Blown Away and there would be News Headlines Even In The Daily Post of it's return And lots of revenue would be brought in. This is My Opion and it's 100%
  • sharon groverCountry: USA2015-06-12 13:22:03
    maybe you would consider a new guiding light with a cast that is are related to the originals. Grew up with this show and would pay to watch episodes from the very beginning. This show was a big part of so many peoples day at least produce us die hards a new one.
  • Paige BrownCountry: United States2015-06-05 00:20:33
    All these years later and this show and the enture cast is still missed by me and countless other GL fans. Please bring this show back! No other soaps compare to this legacy. I will always be a faithful supporter and avid viewer this show. There is an easy Segway to revive the storyline... Someone could have "dreamt" the ending. Perhaps maybe Olivia or Gus (since they were in the hospital undergoing surgery) near the end of the show.
  • MeganCountry: United States2015-05-27 11:26:32
    Bring the show back I am lost without it !!!! Pleaseeee!

    Since the P&G sponsor, canceled Guiding light I printed out the list all the P&G product to make sure I do not spent a cents in it, until Guiding Light and As The world turn is back on CBS. We support who support our soaps and boycott the one who don't. Tessa K. McKenzie. Executive Producer of Let's Talk About Soaps.
