Time of Your Life (1988 TV series)


Time of Your Life was a Canadian television soap opera which ran production from August 1988 to May 1989. It was created by producer Harry Jakobs and Maryse Wilder, Rhea Cohen and Maurice Thevenet. The series was loosely based on the low budget Canadian independent feature Rebel High. It debuted on October 17, 1988 and was aired right after the American soap opera General Hospital at 4pm, daily Monday through Friday replacing Bob Barker's The Price Is Right. Making it at the time Canada's first daily syndicated soap opera with all 130 episodes shot two weeks in advance to air date until completion of the first-season cliffhanger.
