In an era defined by its greed, glamour, and political upheavals, Capitol was the quintessential 80's soap opera.
It was certainly visually appealing.The ballroom set featured in the first episode cost $100,000 alone, while the series had the highest budget of any half-hour soap in TV history.
Though Capitol appeared better than ever, finally hitting its stride in all areas of production, it still failed to hold the audience fed to it by As the World Turns, and had lower Nielsens than Guiding Light, the soap Capitol preceded in most markets.

But that doesn't mean other diehard soap devotees should start bringing out the sandwich boards just yet.
Since April, when NBC announced the cancellation of ''Another World'' (at 35 years, its longest- running soap) to debut ''Passions,'' a new younger-skewing serial, viewers have decried the network's obsession with youth.

The Capitol showed MGM movies almost exclusively, but the supporting stage shows continued until 1935, when, as an economy measure, the Loew's theatre division dropped them from all of its New York houses except the State (Broadway and 45th Street), which had always presented traditional vaudeville with a second-run movie.
The Capitol was the lead theatre in one of the NYC area's first major saturation releases, which took place in 1947 when David O. Selznick's "Duel in the Sun" opened simultaneously at the Capitol and 38 Loew's neighborhood theatres.
During that one week, the Capitol was one of 12 Manhattan theatres showing "Duel." The Valencia in Queens, the Paradise in the Bronx, and the Metropolitan in Brooklyn lost their usual borough exclusivity and shared with other theatres.
