I understand those saying DAYS might go to 3 times a week when this contract expires. My question is how they hold onto actors if they do that? How can cast members earn a living with a 3 times a week show? Honestly, the way Ron cycles actors in and out now, it’s amazing they keep coming back.

Great overview of how the networks can gain dominance and lose their grip on a particular night by strategic programming and plain good luck. ABC were dominant on Thursdays with sitcoms 8-10 and 20/20 at 10. But they couldn't come up with successful follow ups to Mork and Mindy at 8 or Barney Miller at 9. That gave CBS the chance to refresh their aging schedule of Waltons,Hawaii Five O and Barnaby Jones. Hawaii got moved, Barnaby went to 9 and KL at 10. Magnum stepped in at 9 to replace Barnaby and lead the timeslot. Then they moved it to 8 to replace The Waltons. After a misstep with KL at 9 it moved back to 10 and Simon and Simon took over at 9. That lineup was a clear winner for CBS until NBC moved in with Cosby as outlined above. ABC could not get a look in.
