‘As The World Turns’ Tapes Final Episode

The CBS soap “As the World Turns” is going to stop turning after 54 years on the air. As television’s oldest daytime drama, the last episode will air September 17th. The final episode was taped in Brooklyn last week. Chris Goutman, executive producer since 1999, said the shut was being shut down because it was “created in the 1950s, and now there are different viewing patterns.”
