Let's be real here. When CBS moved Y&R to 12:30 pm ET, it destroyed everything ABC and NBC threw in its path. Ryan's Hope, The Doctors, Search for Tomorrow, Loving, Generations, The City, Port Charles all fell victim. CBS was also the last to give up the 4 pm ET slot and I don't find it a coincidence that this occurred in September 1986, the same month Oprah went national.

Last night in Milwaukee while an NBA playoff game was happening. Milwaukee declares partial curfew after 21 people injured in 3 separate shootings - CBS News

Queens, Promised Land, Dynasty all cancelled. No word yet on Our Kind of People but I'd say its done. This season has not been good for primetime soaps.

Drake is the third artist not from the United States to reach 10 #1s on the Billboard Hot 100, behind The Beatles (20) and Rihanna (14). I can't believe Drake has more #1s than Usher.

No kidding.

When watching a 1980s primetime soap we have to go in with the mindset that these shows are products of their time so alot of things are not going to hold up well from a 2022 perspective. Even by the early 1990s we would've considered alot of things on these shows outdated. Also when watching daily or binge-watching the plot holes and inconsistencies are more apparent.

What actress past 60 hasn't had anything done

Thanks for the info @Chris B SOD liked seasons 6 and 7 in the best of 1987 and 1988 issues, but season 8 was in the worst of 1989 issue. The writeups were once posted in the main board.

The "bathroom bill" resulted in the NBA relocating the 2017 All-Star Weekend from Charlotte to New Orleans, and the NCAA relocating 2017 March Madness games from Greensboro to Greenville, South Carolina. So there was some consequence that resulted in economic impact to North Carolina.

Another for Y&R: Nick/Sharon from fall 1994 to spring 1996.

Sally's arrival was a turning point for B&B. She breathed new life into the show. The character could have easily been a one-dimensional villainess or solely comic relief but it was the combination of Bill Bell's writing and Darlene Conley's acting that made the character complex and layered. Building a business and family around Sally was genius. As for Stephanie, Bill Bell wrote her as a Jennifer/Katherine/Vanessa hybrid. Bradley turned Stephanie into a female Victor.

Y&R: Cricket from summer 1986 to end of 1989.

@YRfan23 and @Broderick You are killing me 🤣

RIP Jerry verDorn and thank you for your contributions to daytime television. This year's In Memoriam segment at the Daytime Emmys is really going to hit hard.

I didn't recognize JM in that promo. I posted the promo here and in the Y&R Old Articles thread as it was the first CBS fall primetime promo that I'd seen CBS daytime stars in.

@Paul Raven I always thought Pierre's/The Allegro/Jonas/Gina's were the same set. Perhaps I was wrong.

Y&R production values were good until 2003. Burning down Gina's was a sign of things to come. Granted, that set had been around since Day 1 and it may have been retired due to age (probably getting too expensive to maintain).

I wouldn't be surprised if it did. As we've discussed in other threads, CBS primetime was a mess back then. You're welcome.

Summer 1989 Victor and Jill had scenes where they appeared to be intrigued by each other. Then of course the hookup in Fall 1992.

I posted this promo in the 1980s Ratings thread. Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, I think its KKL at 0:37.

I posted this promo in the 1980s Ratings thread. I spotted Doug Davidson (1:17), Jeanne Cooper (1:19), Nina Arvesen (1:20). Y&R was #1 in daytime but CBS was 3rd in primetime. Maybe CBS was hoping to get the Y&R fans to their primetime lineup.

Eileen Davidson first run as Ashley was June 1982 to December 1988. From what I've seen of December 1988, ED's last scene was at the hospital when Steven was shot and killed, then a few days later Ashley was in her room at the Abbott house and it was Brenda Epperson.

Marc Mergeron worked as a character in 1983, 1984 when Dynasty was at the height of its popularity, but by 1987, 1988 he was outdated.

Something has to be said about the longevity and ratings success of NCIS. As we all know, NCIS began as a spinoff of JAG and then became a franchise. NCIS is in its 19th season and it will be returning in the fall for a 20th season. In it's 18 completed seasons, NCIS has been #1 for three seasons (2012/13, 2013/14, 2015/16), #2 for five seasons (2011/12, 2014/15, 2016/17, 2017/18, 2019/20), Top 5 for five seasons (2008/09, 2009/10, 2010/11, 2018/19, 2020/21), Top 10 for one season (2007/08), Top 15 for two seasons (2005/06, 2006/07), and Top 30 for two seasons (2003/04, 2004/05). I don't think NCIS became a pop culture phenomenon the way that Dallas, ER, CSI were, but it has set ratings records that none of those shows accomplished. Yes, all four had three seasons as the #1 show but NCIS has them all beat in terms of consecutive seasons finishing in the Top 10 (NCIS 14, ER 10, CSI 9, Dallas 7) and consecutive seasons finishing in the Top 5 (NCIS 13, ER 9, Dallas 5, CSI 5).
