The rest of 1992 and most of 1993 are in, so we have more years of expanded Nielsens to enjoy! Thanks. I have not much time at all this month, so I am putting your notes into a list, and I will eventually check on all these discrepancies you found, probably in January!

Thanks for the daily ratings checks and the reminder. I will add that GL preemption in the 1990's list. Isn't it the following day though? Monday 1/21 aired the first 28 minutes (so I guess that episode counted as airing). It's Tuesday 1/22 that aired a portion of the episode from 3-330 and the Wed. 1/23 aired a portion from 339-4. So, I believe the 1/22 episode aired over two days (1/22 and 1/23), making 1/22 the "preempted" day.

That was the episode that wasn't supposed to happen. Never found out why. My only guess is Days thought they were being preempted Thanksgiving Day but were not. They wrote the episode with tons of flashbacks and taped it the Saturday before Thanksgiving, so just 5 days before it aired and gave it a special episode # 5364A, so the episode was obviously unplanned until the last moment!

Thanks for thinking of me Jane! TV Guide was actually the first magazine I started collecting, before I had ever watched Days, in the 1980's. That is my longest-running collection, although a little incomplete, with just 140 issues missing from 1953-Present, so a 70-year collection! So, that, plus my complete sets of Soap Opera Digest and Soap Opera Weekly, are the three magazines in my collection.

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.
