Line 2:
Long-running [[Soap Opera]], running on [[CBS]] from 1956-1975, and on [[ABC]] from 1975 to 1984. Produced by Proctor & Gamble Productions, it was the second half-hour long soap opera (premiering the same day as [[As the World Turns]]). Often referred to as ''Edge'' or ''EON'' for brevity.
Unique in that, unlike most other soaps that focused on domestic drama, ''Edge'' focused on crime and mystery elements; according to [[The Other Wiki]], ''Edge'' was P&Gs attempt to salvage a planned daytime adaptation of ''[[Perry Mason]]''. Its focus on crime/mystery and its late timeslot (originally scheduled at 4:30pm - hence the title) allowed it to amass a large male audience.

* [[Artifact Title]]: The title referred to the show's original, late afternoon timeslot, which moved forward through the years - to the point that it aired at 2:30pm at the end of its run on [[CBS]]. Averted once the show moved to [[ABC]], where it aired in the 4:00pm timeslot.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Mike Karr was one for Perry Mason.
