FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 9/17/79-9/21/79 & 9/24/79-9/28/79:

FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 1/12/81-1/16/81 & 1/19/81-1/23/81: I just saw the 7/25/88 numbers. Nice to finally see "Days" at # 1 for once. Hooray! Still hasn't happened since I started watching the show in 1990, but I finally got to see the full chart for the week. They just beat YR by 1/10th of a point. Phew!

MAJOR UPDATE ON DAYTIME RATINGS... Another big update for Nielsen ratings fans...I can now confirm that all but 10 weeks (for the time being) will be available for November 1987-September 1989. This time frame bridges perfectly into when the weekly charts started being published in Soap Opera Weekly, which are already available online. There are also 3 weeks that will still be missing from October 1989-January 1990. So, with this update, daytime fans will now have access to ALL weekly Nielsen data from July 1979-Present except for 14 weeks (1 from 1981, 7 from 1987, 5 from 1989, 1 from 1990).

FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS (FAST NATIONALS): WEEK OF 8/27/79-8/31/79: FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 9/3/79-9/7/79 & 9/10/79-9/14/79:

Thanks for everyone's patience! I know some of you have been waiting for this info for quite awhile. Today's sorting & cropping went very well today and looks like I will have through 1984 completed soon. Unless I have a really busy day, you should probably expect a chart to be posted each day now, so lots of ratings coming for 1981-1984! For now, we pick up where we left off 3 weeks ago, with the week of 12/8/80. FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 12/8/80-12/12/80 & 12/15/80-12/19/80:

Finished sorting & cropping the remainder of 1979, so they will start being posted again today. We pick up with the week of 8/13/79: FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 8/13/79-8/17/79 & 8/20/79-8/24/79:

First thing I noticed on the main page of 42West's website: Some of the services they offer are Crisis Comms and Litigation Support

Had some unexpected extra time to start finishing up the charts from the 1980-1984 time frame. The final sorting & cropping of mid-1982 to 1984 is in progress, which should not take long at all. At that point, the charts will be completed and ready for publishing. So look for the chart posts to resume this week!

He recurred from 2017-2020, but Brandon Beemer has been on contract since the episode which aired on 12/22/20, so at the time of Bo's shooting, he was on contract.

He's only had a few brief recurring airdates: 9/11/20-9/23/20; 12/27/21-12/29/21; 4/15/22-4/18/22. So push those dates back 6 months each on average for the tape date.

As of 12/17/83 Biskitts...14 Telecasts, 3.2/22 Demos: Total: 1497 Lady of House: 142 Working Woman: 38 Total Women: 173 18-34: 87 18-49: 127 25-54: 95 35-64: 57 55+: 41 Total Men: 160 18-34: 91 18-49: 124 25-54: 114 35-64: 56 55+: 30 Total Teens (12-17): 157 Teen Girls: 77 Total Kids (2-11): 1007 6-11: 666

I don't know The Biskitts, but they lost the time slot to the two more long-running cartoons, Scooby Doo and Flintstones. 12/10/83: 8-830AM: Best of Scooby Doo...ABC...4.0/22 Flintstone Funnies...NBC...3.6/24 Biskitts...CBS...3.0/20

I assume you mean 1984? These two weeks are from two different books, so they wouldn't normally be on the same chart that I post, but I'll do it this time. As a reminder, the weekly charts will be coming over the course of the next few months, so (to everyone) please try to limit ratings questions to non-soaps, mainly if you have questions about other daytime shows or Saturday morning shows from 1980-1987.

Those will be coming once I finish compiling the weekly charts. It takes time to do each one. First you have to type out the ratings, then go to another section to get the preemption dates. Then go to another section and figure out what preempted the show. So, while I can't do that list today, you will soon have the weekly charts listing the preemption data for all the soaps from 1980-1987. Those will be ready to be posted sometime later this year. So your gaps will be filled before 2023 ends!

Full Demos aren't listed much in summer, and no seasonal averages for them either in summer. But here are the last Full Demos (a 2-week average for the weeks of 7/12/82 & 7/19/82): Chips M-F: Total Persons: 1500 Lady of House: 459 Working Woman: 85 Total Women: 559 18-34: 184 18-49: 304 25-54: 228 35-64: 239 55+: 246 Total Men: 291 18-34: 135 18-49: 149 25-54: 104 35-64: 86 55+: 124 Total Teens (12-17): 320 Teen Girls: 146 Total Children (2-11): 330 6-11: 267

Sure, Will check now. I have some time this week & next week, so this would be the weeks to ask about stuff. Will be pretty busy again as we head into August. Work is being done at times on the weekly charts, so ratings fans, fear not! At the moment, I want to mainly get all of the charts from 1981-1987 typed up. It's easier if I don't sort them/crop them after I do each one, so I will probably wait until they are all typed up before I go back and start sorting/cropping them, but that process is much quicker than typing them up. I already have a lot of 1982-1984 typed up, so the charts will be coming. Just have to be a little patient. In the meantime, if you have any non-soap questions about daytime (game shows, sitcom reruns, etc...) or Saturday morning shows from 1980-1987, let me know. I did a spot check each month for you: Chips M-F is the title Nielsen lists it as: 4/26/82-4/30/82: 3.4/12; 161 affs/87 clearance; Quarterly hours: 2.9/3.1/3.6/4.1 5/3/82-5/7/82: 3.2/12; 162 affs/88 clearance; Quarterly hours: 2.9/3.0/3.4/3.6 5/24/82-5/28/82: 3.8/14; 164 affs/88 clearance 5/31/82-6/4/82: 3.6/12; 162 affs/88 clearance 6/28/82-7/2/82: 3.9/13; 160 affs/87 clearance; Preempted Friday for Wimbledon Men's Semifinal 7/5/82-7/9/82: 4.2/15; 157 affs/87 clearance 7/26/82-7/30/82: 4.5/15; 158 affs/86 clearance 8/2/82-8/6/82: 4.4/15; 159 affs/87 clearance 8/30/82-9/3/82: 4.5/16; 158 affs/86 clearance; Quarterly hours: 4.0/4.2/4.8/5.2 9/6/82-9/10/82: 4.4/16; 153 affs/84 clearance; Quarterly hours: 3.9/4.2/4.6/4.8 (Wed episode- 3-326 & 343-4PM; 43 minutes) Final Nielsen Average: 89 Telecasts; 4.0/14; 3,330,000 viewers

More puzzling is why the percentage changes too. Sometimes I'll notice a show is listed as being, for example, on 170 affiliates, 70 percent clearance. The next week it is on 171 affiliates, but only 69 percent clearance. Very hard to understand why that would be!

12/25/80 Search/YR/ATWT- NBA on CBS (1230PM, 152 minutes) GL- NBA on CBS & Blue-Gray Football Game (302PM, 185 minutes) 12/25/81 Search/YR/ATWT- Blue-Gray Football Game (1230PM, 207 minutes) GL- Blue-Gray Football Game & NBA on CBS (357PM, 125 minutes) 12/25/84 YR/ATWT/Capitol- Blue-Gray Football Game (1230PM, 199 minutes) GL- Blue-Gray Football Game & NBA on CBS (349PM, 148 minutes) 12/25/85 YR/ATWT/Capitol- Blue-Gray Football Game (12PM, 210 minutes) GL- Blue-Gray Football Game & NBA on CBS (330PM, 180 minutes) 12/25/86 YR/ATWT- NBA on CBS (12PM, 157 minutes) Capitol- NBA on CBS & John Hancock Sun Bowl (237PM, 203 minutes) GL- John Hancock Sun Bowl Records go through November 1987 12/25/87 TBA 12/25/89 TBA Memorial Day 1985- 5/27/85 YR/ATWT/Capitol- all aired GL- NBA Championship Game 1 (3PM, 148 minutes) Memorial Day 1986- 5/26/86 YR/ATWT/Capitol- all aired GL- NBA Championship Game 1 (3PM, 150 minutes)

I guess NBC had more affiliates overall than ABC or CBS.

Yes, that was the original plan. The only reason I pointed it out is that the football game aired for only 17 minutes of GL's 1-hour time slot. So the other 43 minutes, the majority of GL's preemption was actually just a black/blank screen.
