General Hospital had been on the air a year when it spun off The Young Marrieds. That it took some 30 years before there would be another spin-off from General Hospital should tell you about the series' viewer base and their preferences.
The Young Marrieds lasted 17 months (October 1964-March 1966), replaced by Dark Shadows, giving ABC a 1-2 punch on the back end of their daytime lineup. The cast for Marrieds included Ted Knight, Charles Grodin, Brenda Benet, Paul Picerni (ex-The Untouchables), and as seen in this sampler, Frank Maxwell, who would do a lot of primetime work after Marrieds ended, including another ABC series, The Second Hundred Years.
No rating.
