So in the Dec 1980 Daytime TV ratings, Texas bumped Another World from the Top 10. I don’t know which week these ratings are from.

sorry. I’m 90 going on 70. Talk about old!

Happy Anniversary to Texas! 39 years ago.

I realize that these ratings are from the end of 1979, but I’m putting these in the 80’s thread based on the Daytime TV issue date. The magazine did not specify which weeks these ratings represent.

I’ll definitely keep posting. I think I’m going to move the next set of ratings into the 80’s thread. While I know that the ratings are a few months behind, the Daytime TV issue for the next set of ratings was January, 1980, so I’ll go with that.

While I’m not sure exactly what week the ratings represent, the 12/79 issue of Daytime TV shows that The Doctors bumped Another World out of the Top 10.

I’m lucky that I get to see the show on Retro. Peggy Cass just started and god is the character annoying. lol I hope Sweeney mellows out. She’s so overbearing.

I will post more ratings. I just have to find the time. Just keep in mind that the ratings I post are from Daytime TV magazine and the month and year handwritten is the issue date, so most likely the ratings are from a few months earlier.

A little bit of useless trivia here. Those May, 1989 church scenes where Phillip gets shot and Roger swings through the church were shot in Another World’s studio in Brooklyn instead of GL’s studio on East 44th Street. GL’s studio couldn't accommodate the high ceilings needed for Roger to swing down so GL went on location, so to speak to one of AW’s sound stages at its bigger studio.

Wow! Those early 80’s episodes are a great find. Thanks for posting them!

Huge thank you@montyb

Daytime TV February 1979 so the ratings must have been from a couple months before that.

As far as I know, yes Daytime TV posted the ratings until its demise. There is ALOT more to come. I found a huge stash in my basement of old daytime tv’s and a newsletter from the 80’s and 90’s that published the ratings. Stay tuned.
