General Hospital

General Hospital is a long-running soap opera on the ABC network. It premiered on 1 April 1963, and is still on the air today. It is also the only soap opera still on ABC.
Initially, it focused on the doctors and nurses at General Hospital in Port Charles, New York. By the late 1970s, it began to focus on Luke and Laura Spencer, who eventually became one of the soap's most famous couples. It later spawned a spin-off, Port Charles, as well as a primetime version, General Hospital: Night Shift. In 1981, there was a novelty song called "General Hospi-tale" by the Boston band The Afternoon Delights.
Hanna-Barbera spoofed the soap in a few of its series.
