Great stuff. Hopefully more to come. One question that I haven't been able to find an answer for is when Penny married husband #2 Neil Wade.

Top Television Shows for the 1982-1983 Season Despite 60 minutes hitting #1, all of CBS Sunday night shows following were down, with Archie Bunker out of the Top 20. Goodnight Beantown was brought in as an 8pm replacement but despite good early ratings was not considered strong enough to continue in that slot. Monday MASH finishes strongly boosting Newhart. ABC Tuesday sees Happy Days fall from Top 20 as midseason A Team on NBC takes the 8pm slot. ABC stays strong 9-11 as 9to 5 is a late season hit. ABC makes some noise on Wed with Dynasty and The Fall Guy dominating 9-11 Thursday Magnum zooms to #3 and Simon & Simon proves compatible. CBS Friday weakened as Dukes of Hazzard falls from the Top 20. Mississippi replaces Falcon Crest @10 and looks like a hit. Saturday Love Boat gives ABC a boost. So no network has a night of shows in the Top 20. 1 60 Minutes 2 Dallas 3 (Tie) M*A*S*H 3 (Tie) Magnum, P.I. 4 Dynasty 5 Three's Company 6 Simon & Simon 7 Falcon Crest 8 The Love Boat 9 (Tie) A-Team, The 9 (Tie) NFL Monday Night Football 9 (Tie) The Jeffersons 9 (Tie) Newhart 9 (Tie) The Fall Guy 9 (Tie) The Mississippi 10 9 to 5 11 One Day at a Time 12 Hart to Hart 13 (Tie) Gloria 13 (Tie) Trapper John, M.D. 13 (Tie) Goodnight, Beantown

That's so cool. Who is that with Rosemary? Hopefully at least some snippets will become available.

EB needs to realize that Victor has been destroyed over the years and his desire to be frontburner is not good for the show, especially when its apparent he is no longer physically up to it. If the show had Succession type writing then Victor might be viable but EB wants Victor to be respected and admired for his horrible behavior. He's nor even a love to hate character at this point.

Jill needs to be on for a few episodes so the character is re-established properly through scenes with various characters-Jack, Billy, Chance, Lauren etc. The whole Chance/Abby thing is weird. Not watching every day, has there been a proper build up to this? After the Dominic debacle, Chance and Abby didn't seem to have much to do with each other. What was Devon's motivation- Amanda was out of town and he was horny? And Abby is pissed because Chance didn't come home and she feels neglected? And they get busted immediately... Mishael gets her best scenes as Amanda when she's out the door!

And the timeslot was no help. 11.30 am, halfway through The Price is Right on CBS. When no soap had ever worked in the a.m. With sitcom repeats as lead-in. Perhaps Midday leading into Ryan's Hope ? it leaves you wondering why ABC even commissioned Loving in the first place.

Linda Dano General Hospital Kira Faulkner April 75 temp replacement for Victoria Shaw This one took me by surprise, she mentions it in an interview while playing Cynthia on ATWT

Loving's changes so early in the run immediately gave the impression the show was a losing proposition and that TPTB didn't have confidence in the format. Viewers may not have known or cared about ratings or BTS issues but it came across onscreen. You didn't see Bill Bell retooling early Y&R because of low ratings or Agnes with AMC. . I guess Texas and Santa Barbara did the same to some extent by dropping the Dennis/Dawn romance and SB with Joe/Kelly.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS Stuart Brooks (Temporary) Unknown Year 1979 Robert Colbert fell off his horse at a vineyard he co-owned in upstate California.

Apparently, Y&R went on location in 79 for the sequences where Kay escaped the burning asylum, wandered through the streets of Genoa City, then finding her way back to the Chancellor mansion. Those scenes were taped in parks, side streets of LA and a Beverly Hills Mansion. Was that Y&R's first location shooting? Can anyone recall other early location scenes?

On Y&R the character of Jonas was originally Rick but Jerry Lacy objected as he felt it drew comparisons to Rick in Casablanca starring Humphrey Bogart - who Jerry portrayed in Play It Again Sam. Jerry didn't want to again be associated with Bogart. I saw a 1979 newspaper article announcing the arrival of Linda Miller as Mimi to All My Children. Linda is Taylor Miller's real name so the decision was made to go by Taylor. As for Mimi, was it a misprint or the characters original name?

Daren Kelly (Dan Kennicott AMC) tested for Pat Ryan RH and Jeff Martin AMC. Agnes Nixon thought he resembled Susan Blanchard (Mary Kennicott) so she created a brother for the now dead Mary.
