The Edge of Night is an American television mystery crime drama series and soap opera, created by Irving Vendig and produced by Procter & Gamble Productions. The show was first broadcast on Black-and-white (1956–1967), then on Color (1967–1984).
Canon
Set in the mythical Midwestern city of Monticello, the series revolved around dedicated crime fighter Mike Karr, his family, his friends, his associates, and a seemingly endless stream of colorful villains. The series departed in many ways from the typical daytime soap opera. It was the first soap to debut in the half hour format and the first to fully utilize television as a visual medium by incorporating physical action, location shooting, and a brisker directorial style than the generally static soap operas of its era.
Fandom
Throughout its 28 year run, it developed a cult audience that most notably included an unusually high percentage of male viewers. With intriguing mysteries, engaging characters, stellar cast, and superior direction, The Edge of Night continues to draw interest from old and new fans alike.
