I didn't miss anything, but it looks like the 1/22/91 GL "breakout" episode would most likely have been re-aired the following day. On 1/22/91, GL only aired for 22 minutes (3-314 & 321-329PM). My guess is they re-aired it the next day (and even then there were a lot of preemptions). On 1/23/91, it only aired from 339-4PM (21 minutes), so actually the second half of the 1/22/91 episode that didn't air anywhere. So I would say 1/22/91 is the likely full preemption.

Thanks. We had a good run of "thumbs up" all correct. Was hoping that would continue. I will keep a note of these and check on them at some point to see if I mistyped something.

(I think you mean Feb. 1982, but other than that)...I never really looked much at these pages, but I do see what you are seeing, so it is confusing. I'm not an expert in Nielsen ratings, especially the demos, but I can certainly see why you are confused. I am confused by that comparison too. It says Total Persons watching Texas that week was 1487 and GH 1286, yet GH had a 10 rating and Texas had a 3 rating. So, as for the demos, I am just as confused as you by that!

DIFFERENCES IN SOAP OPERA WEEKLY CHARTS VS. NIELSEN BOOKS (SO FAR)... 10/23/89-10/27/89: SOW has BB share at 22....Nielsen book has 20 share, 11/27/89-12/1/89: All shares in SOW are higher than in Nielsen book. 6/4/90-6/8/90: SOW has ATWT at 5.5/20 and AW at 3.8/14 (The removal of Monday breakouts for both made ATWT 5.6/21 and AW 3.9/15). 6/18/90-6/22/90: SOW has GH at 6.8 (a typo). GH is 6.3.

I might have caught the preemption for ATWT and missed it when checking on GL, so if you see something for ATWT that looks like it also preempted GL for that time frame, let me know. I remember that happening once I think with AMC, but I caught that omission and added the preemption to the AMC list.

Hmm, the later ones from 1992 and 1993 I did from a different list, where I just checked the calendar dates, so I could have possibly missed a random date somewhere. When I start doing the remainder of the 1992 and 1993 books, that should be caught if I missed something.

Week of 6/4/90 ATWT - You have 5.6/21, SOW has 5.5/20 (Monday breakout got a 5.2/19) AW - You have 3.9/15, SOW has 3.8/14 (Monday breakout got a 3.5/13) Looks like the removal of the breakouts made ATWT and AW's final numbers higher. Week of 6/18/90 GH - You have 6.3, SOW has 6.8 I thought this would be a typo by me, but it's a typo by SOW. GH got a 6.3 that week.

There will be in the future, so eventually you will have 1977.

I just looked at the debut week (3/5/90) and finale week (7/9/90) books for Tribes, and nothing is in Nielsen. Wiki says Tribes only aired on a few FOX stations around the country, so it wasn't a full-network FOX show.

12/26/77, yes.

I didn't compare it to the Nielsen NBC list, so I was just thinking Win, Lose or Draw was still in its network run, but I see now that ended in 1989. Also, I noticed WNBC brought back Scrabble later in 1990 (just as a local run, it didn't seem to air on any other affiliate) up until Joan Rivers took the time slot in September 1990. I don't see any mention of Scrabble having a syndicated run, so I guess being they were the main NBC affiliate, they could just air repeats of a former network show like Scrabble?

Per the Daily News archives, WNBC schedule: Ending 1/19/90: Golden Girls 11AM 227 1130AM 3rd Degree 12PM (syndicated, not NBC, game show) Generations 1230PM Santa Barbara 3PM Beginning 1/22/90: Win, Lose or Draw 11AM Generations 1130AM Santa Barbara 12PM Classic Concentration 3PM Scrabble 330PM

Thanks for the continuous checking! I'm glad to see after those couple of weeks that Soap Weekly started off with in 1989, everything has matched up nicely since.

That's the autographed photo she sent me back in 1991. Perhaps the exact one (with the autograph portion cropped out). A long time back, I think I saw her email on a casting website and asked her to confirm her birthday (not the year of course). She was one of the contract cast members I wasn't able to find a birthday for, so it was nice that she took the time to answer so I could add her to the birthday database. Of course, now that she's more famous, her birthday would be easier to find!
