  1. At least they went up a little, but not that much. We will see if they go up more in the next one with the Olympics gone. Can't seem to comment on the Ratings blog maybe disqus not working?
  2. Big drop for Young and Restless and Bold and Beautiful I think this may be the lowest rating ever for a FIRST RUN episode of Y&R. I know some of the repeats were lower. I know the Olympics had a big effect but GH only lost 18,000 this week. I am sure their streaming numbers are higher this week if only we knew what they were, probably won't be high enough to make the Nielsen top 10 for acquired series. I couldn't find a Acquired series chart for LUMINATE/Variety, just Originals
  3. Of course we now know David and Carolee came on in 1967
  4. Not to forget Matt shoe polish black hair, the diference in his picture from 1969 and 1978 is very striking
  5. Yeah the After School specials had been released on DVD in Box sets, but I don't think they are in print. some have been posted to youtube
  6. If it is the speculation I have made on a few The Doctors Facebook page or the Retro page, that's not quite what I said. The World Series was a known preemption, so they would have plotted out accordingly. They knew the first 4 games (The Minimum) were to be played Wed- Sunday, but they could not know whether the game would go 7 Games, so they may have plotted it based on being 4 games. If true then they would have had 3 extra Preemption. And that seems like what we had, The Friday Shower aired on Wendnesday according to a certain Timeline. It also went on for 3 days (maybe just in case it did go 3 extra games. They would not skip an already produced episode, that was not the speculation, The speculation was the re-wrote some of the scripts because the powers that be wanted the wedding to air during Sweeps (which they were doing back then). Sorry this was supposed to have quoted Robbwollf
  7. Yes and no, they knew the World Series was airing at 1PM, and that the first 4 games would play from Wed-Sunday, but the show had no way of knowing that it would go a full 7 Games. We have some strong confirmation that the Wedding aired on Monday Nov 11 and Tuesday Nov 12. The Timeline many are following seems off now, the 2 episodes today would be Oct 31 and Nov 1, and tomorrow 2 Nov 4 and 5, but it is looking like they will actually be Nov 11 and 12, which would be more than one missed episode.. Any Preemption on election day?? Retro just airs what SFM sends them as they are numbered, they don't check each unit before they air it, (Maybe they should)
  8. That would have cost them Millions more, as I understand it they have liscensed 2 years worth, going through 69. They may need the extra AD Revenue to pay for it. 2 years of the Doctors is like close to 500 episodes compared to maybe 60 for a Night Time show, which they Network gets more run Throughs to pay for it.
  9. Yes that was the one she was looking for
  10. http://www.grittv.com/show/rookies/ GRIT TV has been airing it
  11. I don't recall WRCF cutting off any credits, So I would say it is original. Based on a script I read along with, they are not doing much editing, compared to how COZI TV has their shows edited.
  12. It is a co-deal with Weigel, who are the owners of ME TV and Hero's and Icons, so it could also show up on those channels. In 2013 ME TV commented that Barnabas may show up
  13. First if you have Facebook make sure you like their Facebook page and use the Suggest Friends things to suggest all your friends like the page. As far as Cable, You would first have to have an affiliate in your area, since Retro's not a cable Network but a Broadcast Network, Cable can't really Carry RETRO TV, they could carry the affiliate, In my case I would suggest Brighthouse carry WRCF 29.1. But with WRCF being a Low Power station Brighthouse does not have to carry LP stations. and they don't carry all of a stations Sub-channels. If you don't have an Over the air affiliate , then it's best to contact all the stations in your area and suggest they add Retro to one of their Sub-channels. Some area's don't have enough stations, so that makes it harder. It's a crowded field now, so many networks not enough channel space. And the powers behind Sony's GET TV movie Network and GRIT TV, have done the pay for play to get affiliates instead of Revenue AD sharing. Paying Millions to get affiliates is not something every one can do. If you have an affiliate make sure you send them an email or a letter and let them know you like them having RTV on, because with the New DECADES channel and Hero's and Icons, and the reality based JUSTICE Network joining an already crowded field the station has to know there is interest in either keeping or adding RTV to it's lineup. Somehow I quoted you twice, Sorry Also some people have it in their area and just don't know because they have cable. We have to let people know it's like it was in 1968, when most people watched OTA with an Antenna. They could either have a second TV on Antenna or have an A/B Switch so they could flip a switch and go from Cable to broadcast (though they would have to then change the setting in their TV to Antenna for it to work)
  14. No The Temp Maggie was Kathleen Murray Kathleen Maguire played Lila Anderson
  15. There have been some preemptions during that time, For instance Days was Preempted for the Dr King funeral and news on the RFK death on June 6, Days came on just before The Doctors, The episode numbers can't really reveal much, from what I heard they adapted the numbers so a Friday episode ended in 5 even if preempted
  16. The only thing that came close was the extra in the Park scene which if there had been 2 pre-emptions would have been on May 22, (the chances are there was at least one pre-emption for Dr King's funeral, and Maybe a partial pre-emption on another day and the episode was re-aired the next day(Maybe why Retro aired the one episode twice, though that should not affect repeats unless that episode was put in the library twice and had two episode numbers) I am feeling the timeline is 2 days off which would make that episode in the Park May 22
  17. Check your Private Messages for more info
  18. Wrong upload, have to start over again be later tonight for the DM Luckily I don't have to work tonight as usual, since I worked yesterday
  19. That should be on Monday's showings, If it's the first episode then we did miss a day, if it's the second then we didn't. My VARIETY's only go back to 1992 with a couple from 1990 and 91, wish I had them all just for the Ratings Grid
  20. On page 67 Paul Raven posted a cast list from 1970 and Jami was still listed in the Cast
  21. It seems the Age Gate has been activated after the Upload, so if anyone has a problem viewing their regulat source video, make sure your Age Gate is set off. Why someone would report this episode I have no idea
