Yes if you're able to get the 28 Feb 1995 Y&R episode into its vault, that would be amazing! And thank you!

This whole conversation reminded me of something!

Back in July, @ustonmi1982 generously came forward to offer some Sheila-centric Y&R episodes. They sent me the raw footage from the tapes to edit and date but that was during that time when both vaults were offline for a long while, and then I completely forgot about them. I'm uploading now.  

Here's a list of B&B that were on those tapes. I will post a list of the Y&R on that thread, which may be of interest since it's a lot of Sheila stuff. That will take longer as there was quite a bit of Y&R.

B&B 7/3/98 full (new in English!)
B&B 8/5/98 partial  (new in English!)
B&B 8/7/98 full (new in English!)
B&B 9/17/98 clip (new in English!)
B&B 12/31/98 (very short clip)

I thought it was a repeat too. 
 

did you mean 12/25/98 for the one above though?

Yes, corrected.

I am pretty sure Thanksgiving 1999 wasn't a new episode. Recap for Wed 11/24 ends with Brad kissing Nikki and bringing her into his room and shutting the door, then Monday 11/29 they wake up in bed together, so it's fairly clear there wasn't an episode in between.

Thank you @JAS0N47 this is amazing!

GL may have had classics on 12/25/98 and 1/1/99 - can anyone confirm? Soap Central says GL did not air for the holiday on 1/1/99 and has a blank for 12/25/98

Y&R

6/29/94 episode was repeated on 7/11/94 (the only new episode airing in between was a July 4th special).

12/25/98 preempted, rebroadcast of 12/26/1988

11/25/99 Soap Central has as preempted, you have it as a special airing - probably a repeat but I don't know what. @YRfan23 do you know?

12/31/99 preempted, rebroadcast of 12/29/89
 

I don't have the preemptions for B&B.

Sadly I can't add 2/28/95 to the vault because I still don't have access to it  @BoldRestless you still can't too right? 

No, I don't have edit access, but I have been able to upload as Guest Contributor.

I don't understand what you guys are talking about because I see this episode already in the February 1995 folder and also in the numbered folder under #1986.

So many younger stars passing.

@BoldRestless September 8-12, 1980 Y&R rating was 7.1. Y&R lowest rated week of the 1980s was May 3-7, 1982; rating 5.6.

Geez, I keep reading it wrong!  I've updated my post.

I only put the Top 50 highest-rated weeks on those lists above, so 3/26/84-3/30/84 is the 50th best week of YR in the 1980's.

So then this is actual lowest rated week from the 80s. 

THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS: Week of May 3 - May 7, 1982

(12:30pm - 60 minutes - CBS)

Leslie said she would marry Lance.  Lucas agreed that Brooks should know that Lance was his father.  Nikki collapsed after her wedding to Kevin.  Snapper left for London without Chris.  Andy split when Jill stood him up to be with John.  Jack told Patty he would marry her.  Carl got a vice squad job with Capt. Alex Morgan, who was involved with racket boss Pete Walker.  Victor refused one last fling with Nikki before her marriage.

Y&R's highest rated and lowest rated weeks. Not what you would expect. Kay's surgery is an all time classic! The lowest rated week is only two weeks before Nikki & Victor's wedding.

MONDAY DECEMBER 26, 1983 - FRIDAY DECEMBER 30, 1983

The Young and the Restless: Sparky and Vinnie kidnapped Traci, dragging Danny along when he tried to rescue her. Unable to kill them as instructed by Vinnie, Sparky gave Traci and Danny enough drugs to knock them out. Vinnie was arrested after he shot Sparky in the back. With help from Sparky, Carl and Frank rescued Traci and Danny. Patty warned Jack to quit stalling their divorce. Believing  Danny was cavorting with Traci, Lauren cozied up to Paul. Julia realized that she had wanted to marry Victor so she could have a baby. In Hawaii, Andy checked out Melissa's death with husband-and-wife private investigative team, Kimo and Kathy. Nikki fretted that Victor might marry Julia. Rick nixed showing Nikki a manuscript that he's writing.

Y&R's lowest rated week

MONDAY MARCH 26, 1984 - FRIDAY MARCH 30, 1984

The Young and the Restless: Jack was floored that Marc thinks Dina and John were never legally divorced. Ashley caught onto Jack's plot to undermine her Jabot teen-aged cosmetic line. Jack plotted to hire teen model Cricket away from Jabot. Kay's surgery was a success, but she feels insecure about her new look. Nikki refused to leave Victor.- who's in the dumps about his impotency. Carol was hurt that Jack talked about his sexual conquests in front of her, then wondered if he'd treat her differently if she weren't crippled. Jack and Jill panicked when Carl realized she wasn't alone during the fateful snow storm that led to her and Jack's indiscretion. Jack refused to let Diane break her Jabot contract to accept a New York modeling offer.

As both you and Jason have determined, yes, GL was definitely an original on 12/26/97. While I can't give you a synopsis, I can tell you which characters appeared in the episode. For GL only, I have an extensive listing of which characters appeared on specific air dates from 1982 onward. There are days missing when the vcr didn't record.

Ohhh, that's very helpful to know. Thanks for confirming, and I may just come back to pick your brain on more GL!

I just checked back in here since you responded, but I checked my Soap Opera Weekly archive, which I realized might have some daily previews with dates, so here is some of what is listed for GL in Soap Weekly upcoming previews (and they match what Nielsen has; preemptions only on 12/25, 12/31 and 1/1):

 

12/24- Scavenger hunt

12/25- (All soaps preempted except BB & YR, which air classic Christmas episodes; matches Nielsen)

12/26- Philip sees Beth with another man; Michelle breaks Jesse's heart

12/29- Dinah goes after Vanessa

12/30- Annie and Beth ruin NYE

12/31- (no GL listed; per Nielsen preempted)

1/1- (All soaps preempted; matches Nielsen)

1/2- Dinah's actions stun Matt

1/5- Michelle and Jesse make love

Thanks for typing that out! Yes, those match exactly.  Ah, it soothes my brain to confirm things.

That reminds me of a funny story when a Y&R/B&B fan wrote into one of the magazines to say the shows had gotten too boring. They noted that these shows NEVER had day by day previews, proving nothing ever happened. The editors of course responded that the Bell shows chose not to submit detailed spoilers.

It sounds like the GL dates on Soap Central are just off by a day that week then. It did air on 12/26, and did not air on 12/31.

So the 12/29 recap should be listed as 12/26; the 12/30 recap should be listed as 12/29; the 12/31 recap should be listed as 12/30; and then no episode aired (so no recap on 12/31).

UPDATE: Soap Central doesn't have recaps for 12/24/97, 12/25/97, 12/26/97, 12/31/97, 1/1/98, 1/2/98. Nielsen shows that GL aired on 12/24/97 (98 percent of affiliates); 12/26/97 (98 percent of affiliates); and 1/2/98 (98 percent of affiliates), so that's three days of Soap Central that need a recap, or some of these I guess were "classic" episodes?

I was just coming back to reply to you, but see your update.

They're not all classics. There are regular/new episodes posted on YouTube. Soap Central is just missing things.

Your original premise must be right: I can confirm episodes (via recaps) of GL for 12/24/97 and 1/5/98. There are four episodes in between without recaps. So, they should be 12/26, 12/29, 12/30, and 1/2/98 not 12/29, 12/30, 12/31, and 1/2/98 as labeled. Christmas day and New Year's day are preempted. I noticed too that Soap Central has a recap for 12/26/97 for ATWT, and it's quite unlikely that they would preempt GL in that case and Nielsen confirms it aired.

It probably has to do with the fact that GL switched to 10 AM in some markets and started airing a day behind. A couple of times on Soap Central I noticed the recapper was a day behind person and the dates would be off. Very frustrating.

Soap Central says GL did not air on 12/26/97 either. Presumably another classic episode. Tricky! I don't think CBS started the classic airings til the mid-90s though, so the preemptions from Nielsen from the 80s through early 90s should all be good.

For GL 12/31/97 I am surprised it's listed as a preemption. There's no Soap Central recap due to some kind of website glitch (there's nothing listed at all) but there is an episode with that date on YouTube (no commercials so can't verify the date is correct) plus an episode dated 1/2/98 that picks up directly from it (but no usenet or Soap Central recaps for either day). And then an episode dated Monday, 1/5/98 that does match the Soap Central recap, implying that the previous dates were also correct (they have the full months of December and January). Bit of a mystery there.

So on 8/17/88  they basically split Y&R into two halves rather than preempt? Never heard of that before! 

Some newsworthy things that day include a US Ambassador being killed in a plane crash, a nuclear test in Nevada, and George HW Bush being nominated for president. So maybe they cut in to show the Republican National Convention?

Same here. She doesn’t strike me as the type to be bitter about any story she plays. I can only think the stupidity of Pheila and Sarah Smythe sucked any energy Tracey has of wanting to do another Sheila related story? 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, that's fair. Those last two rounds were awful. It was smart when B&B rehabilitated Sheila a little bit in the 90s. Being married to Eric, she had something to lose and she had to behave for a while and struggle not to relapse. Her and Lauren's interactions then were good and not so cartoonish. That's why I wanted them to lean into Sheila becoming Bill's lover and cleared of the charges, so she could be more into high society again and run into Lauren at crossover events but having to refrain from doing anything crazy.

17 minutes ago, YRfan23 said:

She’s eluded in an interview that doing the Sheila story kind of weakens Lauren’s character and I think she prefers Lauren be the strong woman with an edge that isn’t some damsel in distress whenever Sheila is around….I guess Bill Bell or nobody ever told her Sheila was meant as a punishment for Lauren’s bitchiness towards Traci all those years prior. 

I'm kind of surprised by this because I thought she loved working with Kimberlin.

It's so funny that you mentioned Nick not parenting his kids. I hadn't watched much for a few years, and Nick had a line about his son, Christian. I was like...who the hell is that? We never see him with his younger kid, and rarely even with Summer.

He just had to fight to get custody of Adam's son, just so they can never show him. Such high stakes. I know they think it makes Victoria and Nick seem like good parents if they mention Christian and Katie as if they exist, but... it doesn't. They should just have them all in boarding school and not write those cringey lines about getting home to Christian and watching Katie's ballet recital. I appreciate that GH and B&B actually show the kids once in a while so that when they're aged up, I know who they are.

Not overstepping at all. It's fun!  I figured these out for Days many years ago, so it's nice to help with another soap. Checking the Nielsen BB preemptions for what's available so far (excluding July 1989-December 1991), I have the list at 40 preemptions as of July 1993. So there has to be 14 more preemptions between July 1989-December 1991 to get the list to 54 preemptions as of July 1993.

If you have another list you are working off of, what preemptions do you have listed for July 1989-December 1991??

Thanks for this! Also, thank you for separating out the preemptions and special airings for each show - it's so much easier to read!

B&B's preemptions have always been a bigger mystery than Y&R's. I'm working off a spreadsheet that someone else sent me a while ago and revising it. The numbers for 1993 were just not adding up since it had 1994 starting at #1704. Taking that 7/1/93 script date, even accounting for an extra preemption, was ending up 5 episodes off. So I decided to restart from the beginning with 1987... and so far, have discovered that year ends at #187, not 188 as previously thought. I think the person who made the spreadsheet had some wrong dates for Iran-Contra, but the overall number of preemptions right, but then that 12/8/87 preemption no one knew about threw everything off! I won't get up to 1993 tonight, but will continue to delve into this!

I think Tucker has supplanted Adam as JG's pet. Tucker is involved in everything. He schemes with everyone. Anytime there's some mystery as to who is behind something, the answer is Tucker. He's the cool rich snarky big bad. Adam has become a dog that's kicked around. They're back to 10+ years ago where haha, Victor put his office in the bathroom! Wild! 

Nick is very boring and aimless. The only time he worked in a long time was in the Cameron Kirsten story. One really simple scene I liked was when the girls were over at the cottage and Sharon got one of his packages and Nick understood what was going on and there was this whole unspoken communication between them because they didn't want to scare anyone. Nick is kind of a Neanderthal, so his best stories were the action oriented ones when he was put in jail, or fighting with somebody, being a hothead and getting into trouble even when he was right. But with this lack of budget, there's nothing for him to do that suits him.

1994-1995 Official Preemptions! 

By my count, this means 1994 actually ends with #1946, not 1948 as previously thought

Edit: Now I recounted and I think it is 1948 after all, hah.

I think I figured out, maybe, why "Days" re-airs the 4/19/93 episode on 4/20/93, but does not re-air the other 3 "short" episodes.

 

One would think all these four episodes would be re-aired, since they were all under 30 minutes. My guess is that the three episodes (11/12/92, 3/23/93 and 4/23/93) had preemptions in a later time zone, Perhaps once the Eastern time zone gets the full episode, then if there's a large preemption of 30 minutes or more in the Central, Mountain or Pacific time zones, since it's already aired on the East Coast, those later time zone preemptions do not trigger a national preemption. That's the only thing that makes sense to me, as to why the 19 minute episode of 4/19/93 gets a repeat airing the next day, but not the 17 minute episode of 3/23/23. The news preemption of 4/19/93 must have been from 119-2PM Eastern, while the news preemption on 3/23/93 must have been from 1-143PM Pacific.

 

11/12/92 1-104 & 143-2PM (21 minutes); 104-143 PBO (44 percent affs)
3/23/93 143-2PM (17 minutes); 1-143 PBO (46 percent affs)
4/19/93 1-119PM (19 minutes); 119-2 PBO (42 percent affs) **Note: Episode re-aired next day
4/23/93 148-2PM (12 minutes); 1-148 PBO (46 percent affs)

 

How does that thinking sound to everyone??

That makes sense. And then there is also the mystery of why sometimes (at least on CBS) they would re-air the preempted show overnight and not skip a day, and sometimes not. I'm East Coast, so I can recall that if there was a big news happening, then right at the beginning of the show, there would be a chyron telling you today's show would air overnight (so at that point they wouldn't know yet if the show would air in other time zones). Maybe that was generally when it was local news, but I also remember it happening sometimes during OJ, and yet at other times we'd lose a week of shows nationally for OJ.

Thanks so much @JAS0N47

Thank you! Very good to finally get these confirmed!

April 19, 1995 was the Oklahoma City Bombing.

The June and July 1994 stuff is crazy. My understanding from a French guide and Usenet posts is some areas rebroadcast the June 28 episode of Y&R on June 29 (#5399) while others played a new episode (#5400) on June 29. Then, between July 29th and July 11th, there was only one episode aired on July 4 (makes sense, I guess court was not in session for OJ!). On July 11, some markets rebroadcast the June 29th episode, so Nielsen is picking up both June 29 and July 11 as airing, which they did, but for purposes of episode counting, there's only one new episode between the two days.

I've never seen the July 4 episode, but the recap of it is a special pool party holiday episode, so they didn't bother reairing that outside the holiday. The June 29/July 11  episode features a location shoot to "Vietnam" (really Hawaii) so it makes sense that they wanted to be sure that one aired in addition to continuity purposes.

1/30/95 it aired for 59 minutes (in 95 percent of the country). Why do you think it was a full preemption?

Oh, duh! I read it wrong. I thought it was preempted for 59 minutes.

I checked CBS preemptions for the first time, and they rated everything in the GL time slot except for 3-305PM on 1/25/95 (most likely the end of an unrated OJ special report)

UPDATE: City, Days, GH & GL all now have full preemption data listed for 1994-1995.

Thank you!

Well, this explains why there are so many GL January 1995 episodes floating around with inconsistent dates. I haven't found any recaps for that month either so that will be tricky to reconcile. I've got to imagine that 1/30/95 is counting as a full preemption and was reaired the next day.

According to Usenet, the Y&R special that aired 1/23/95 was Danny and Cricket's wedding from 1990, but some users got that on 1/24. The new episode of Y&R for 1/23/95 was preempted.
