Bob Barker 'The Price is Right' legendary host dies at 99 - CBS Los Angeles (cbsnews.com) Bob Barker, Longtime 'The Price Is Right' Host, Dead at 99 (people.com) Bob Barker and The Price is Right were such big parts of my life, from childhood to teen years to adult years. RIP and thank you for your contributions to television.

Remember too that CBS on the whole was a mess in the mid-1990s. Fall 1994 loss of NFL broadcasting rights which cost them several established affiliates in major media markets. 1995 sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrives.

Bo/Hope wedding was week of May 20-24, 1985. I'm sure there were other big events that week but I haven't found any recaps.

@AbcNbc247 Fans of supercouple era Days that I know split that era into the Bo/Hope years (1983-1987) and the Steve/Kayla years (1987-1990). We know Steve/Kayla 1988 wedding got Days to #1 over Y&R. It will be interesting to see where Bo/Hope 1985 wedding ranks. When it comes to 1980s soap couples based on ratings impact and soap press coverage, I'd say the top five in date order were Luke/Laura, Victor/Nikki, Bo/Hope, Cruz/Eden, Steve/Kayla.

CBS had a 3 1/2 hour soap block from February 4, 1980-September 18, 2009. Which of the line ups was the favorite here? February 4, 1980-June 5, 1981: Search for Tomorrow, Y&R, As the World Turns, Guiding Light June 8, 1981-March 26, 1982: Y&R, As the World Turns, Search for Tomorrow, Guiding Light March 29, 1982-March 20, 1987: Y&R, As the World Turns, Capitol, Guiding Light March 23, 1987-September 18, 2009: Y&R, B&B, As the World Turns, Guiding Light For me the March 23, 1987-September 18, 2009 line up defines CBS daytime.

MZ and MG presenting at the SOD Awards in January 1990 (their segment starts at 38:38) The 6th Annual Soap Opera Awards - Dixie Carter, Terry Lester : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive This is the earliest awards show I've seen them presenting together.

EB and MTS presenting at the SOD Awards in January 1990 (their segment starts at 1:03:08) The 6th Annual Soap Opera Awards - Dixie Carter, Terry Lester : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive EB's reaction to the cheering crowd gives me life. MTS seems annoyed by it all LOL. Hopefully the full SOD Awards from January 1989 surfaces soon.

September 8, 1983 Y&R Brenda Dickson return. Y&R transition is complete and 1984 we'll see Y&R become Y&R as we know it today.

We're heading into Fall 1983 and three tiers have formed. Top tier: General Hospital, All My Children, Y&R, One Life to Live Mid tier: As the World Turns, Guiding Light, Days, Capitol Bottom tier: Another World, Ryan's Hope, The Edge of Night, Loving, Search for Tomorrow

You're welcome. I recall three episodes that could have been homages to other CBS dramas: A Very Good Year for Murder (season 4), Northern Explosion (season 10), Crimson Harvest (season 11).

Loving was head-to-head with the second half of The Price is Right. Ryan's Hope was head-to-head with the first half of Y&R which was blowing up in 1983. Neither ABC show had a chance against the CBS powerhouses.

One Life to Live was fortunate to be hammocked between All My Children and General Hospital. It's the daytime equivalent of a time slot hit.

July 6, 1983 Y&R Nikki learns Victor is alive. That scene was chosen by Melody Thomas Scott as her most memorable moment for the 50th anniversary clip compilation.

You're welcome. It was sad. I felt so bad for her. Angela carried CBS primetime on her back through some pretty awful years from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, and it was terrible the way she was treated at the end after all she did for CBS. Murder, She Wrote and Angela deserved to have a proper farewell for the final season instead of being sabotaged. Les Moonves will forever be on my s--- list for the sabotage of Murder, She Wrote.

Dallas the family/business conflict-based show with the heart and roots of a western. Knots Landing the community-based show that set itself apart with high emotional stakes character driven storytelling. RIP David Jacobs and thank you for your contributions to primetime television.

Les Moonves knew exactly what he was doing when he moved Murder, She Wrote to a time slot that had been a dead zone for CBS since Fall 1985. At a time when CBS could not afford to have any tank jobs, he straight up sabotages their only scripted show that was in the 1994/95 Top 10.

@JAS0N47 Thank you for the Capitol clearance info. CBS half hour clearance history from this thread: Search for Tomorrow final week March 22-26, 1982 97% Capitol first week March 29-April 2, 1982 97% Capitol final week March 16-20, 1987 93% B&B first week March 23-27, 1987 94%

@YRfan23 In the promo for Dina's death, it was mentioned Dina arrived May 27, 1983 so I took that date as Marla Adams debut. Capitol not full clearance either so that maybe played a part. I believe we'll see near the end of Capitol's run that their clearance dropped.

Unpopular opinion here, but I loved the episode from the final season that shaded Friends. Mainly because I never liked Friends anyway. After seeing that 60 Minutes interview from 1996 where Angela Lansbury tore up when talking about the end of Murder, She Wrote, I totally get why the final season had episodes that took swipes at both Friends and CBS. Angela did not give a f--- about being elegant and classy with her shade. She was hurt and rightfully so and I don't blame her for reacting the way she did. That final season move by CBS to Thursday 8 pm wasn't a tank job, it was straight up sabotage.

May 27, 1983 Y&R Marla Adams debut.

May 12, 1983 Y&R Andrea Evans (RIP) debut.

Y&R is getting close to being cemented in the Top 3. One year of Capitol and to me it seems like it hasn't shown much growth. So its not doing the job of competing with ABC, but its doing the job of being a placeholder/time filler. GL in the early days of Gail Kobe/Pamela Long looks like its improving from the slide after Douglas Marland left.

@ChickenNuggetz92 You are amazing and should be knighted 🤗

Another big wedding: April 13, 1984 Y&R Victor and Nikki. Y&R rating that week (April 9-13, 1984) was posted earlier in the thread, 7.9/31, but I don't know where Y&R finished among the soaps that week.
