@Soapsuds You reminded me of another remake of a Supremes song

Totally agree. There's just something so warm and comforting about Murder, She Wrote.

I don't believe so. Dylan has been wiped from the canon.

The biggest Sunday competition I'd say was America's Funniest Home Videos as that was the only show on this list that was able to finish ahead of Murder, She Wrote in the seasonal ratings. 1989/90 America's Funniest Home Videos first season was 5th and Murder, She Wrote was 13th. 1990/91 America's Funniest Home Videos was 7th and Murder, She Wrote was 12th.

The Cosby Show and Growing Pains Both shows were set in New York. Both shows had a doctor father that worked from an office that was a part of their home. Both shows had a teenage son that struggled academically.

I hate when that happens. Your storylines are way better than anything Josh Griffith has come up with.

JM is 50 and his whole overgrown frat boy persona is just so ridiculous at this point.

Friday episode mentioned the anniversary of Victor and Nikki first wedding. With April 13 being a Saturday, the celebration episode would be April 15. In real time it's 40 years but given SORASing they can't really mention the number of years.

Same with Kimberly McCullough in 1989. She was 11 years old and won Younger Actress over Noelle Beck (21), Anne Heche (20), Martha Byrne (19). 100% this. The addition of the younger category meant lead was for superstars and long-tenured veterans, and supporting became a holding tank for those who aged out of the younger category but were not quite at superstar level or had enough years to be considered long-tenured veterans.

Larsa Pippen's Ex Marcus Jordan Suggests She's 'Rewriting History' After Split (people.com) With this development, who knows what's left for her to do on the show.

Agree. Who knows where Days would've ended up in the 1990s if it wasn't for Reilly.

20 years since this R&B classic album dropped.

Nick in a JT mask. What was that nonsense? I somehow blocked out so much silliness of the last decade.

Totally agree. I can't help but wonder though, is the threat of being replaced by a new show something CBS is hanging over Bradley in order to motivate him to fix B&B?

Jill parentage (2003), Cassie death (2005), and John Abbott death (2006) were the trifecta that lead to the end of Y&R as we knew it.

Joshua Morrow 30th anniversary in June and Sharon Case 30th anniversary in September. Are you giving Josh Griffith an idea? I think we're stuck w/ Joshua Morrow until Y&R ends.

IIRC, 90210 first season was promoted as a teen drama and the episodes were mostly self-contained. When the show blew up with the Summer 1991 episodes, that's when I think it became more soapy.

That pairing worked because both shows appealed to the male audience. Dallas was always the more male-focused of the CBS primetime soaps.

I watched some of Hotel a few years back and I was not impressed. I thought of it as The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. It got the soap opera label from being Dynasty's lead out.

Thanks for the videos and pictures of The Hollywood Show @Soapsuds. Were you there?

🤣 Marcus is the weak link of Michael Jordan's adult children.

OMG I never thought that CBS would launch a new daytime soap. Fingers crossed this works.

Let's Make a Deal official time slot is 3 pm ET but I think its safe to say that the affiliates which aired GL in the morning just replaced it w/ LMaD.

CBS had three daytime game shows as of September 29, 1986: 10 am ET $25000 Pyramid, 10:30 am ET Card Sharks, 11 am ET The Price is Right. If one of the game shows was going to go, I'd say $25000 Pyramid was the most likely. Card Sharks was not going anywhere because Mark Goodson allegedly demanded CBS to give Card Sharks the lead in to The Price is Right, otherwise he'd take both shows to another network. Bill Bell also allegedly demanded that CBS give B&B the lead out from Y&R, otherwise he'd take both shows to another network. I don't think CBS was going to risk losing their two biggest daytime shows The Price is Right and Y&R. So 1987 we could have gotten 10 am Capitol 10:30 am Card Sharks 11 am The Price is Right noon Local programming 12:30 pm Y&R 1:30 pm B&B 2 pm As the World Turns 3 pm Guiding Light As for 10 am ET, ABC didn't program anything in that slot from the 1970s onward AFAIK, NBC gave it up in 1991, and CBS gave it up in 1993.

The 1991 improvement in ratings came not long after JFP arrived. While JFP first year was still good, I feel that it coasted off the groundwork laid during the Calhoun era and the ratings improvement was helped by ABC's big three tanking at various times during that year and Days being in their post-supercouple/pre-Reilly mess era.
