Members amybrickwallace Posted July 10, 2014 Members Share Posted July 10, 2014 Even though it wasn't a soap, I love that full-page ad for Scarecrow & Mrs. King. I'd love to see Bruce Boxleitner in a successful primetime role again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted July 14, 2014 Members Share Posted July 14, 2014 Oh OK, I didn't know that. Thanks. My cable provider doesn't carry the Hallmark Channel - dagnabbit! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 14, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 14, 2014 Primetime Ratings week ending Feb 7 1982 #3 Dallas 28.4/45 #13 Falcon Crest 22.0 /39 #69 King's Crossing 10.2/16 (3rd lowest ranking of the week) Knots Landing was pre-empted that week.Not sure about Dynasty but think it may have been pre-empted also as it did not appear in the Top 20. No ranking available for Flamingo Road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted July 14, 2014 Members Share Posted July 14, 2014 Do you know the reason for the preemptions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 15, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 15, 2014 CBS played a TV movie from 9-11 that displaced Simon& Simon and Knots that week. Upon further investigation, it appears Dynasty did air that week but didn't make the top 20. Dynasty had yet to break through in the ratings at that stage. Premiere week Sept 27 - Oct 3 1982 Thurs 10-11 Hill St Blues 18.2/31 20/20 17.7/30 Knots Landing 16.1/27 Fri 9-10 Dallas 22.5/38 Knight Rider 15.4/26 Battle of the Network Stars 10.8/19 Fri 10-11 Falcon Crest 19.3/34 Remington Steele 12.5/22 Battle of . . 10.8/19 Dynasty was pre-empted for a TV movie Money on the Side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted October 2, 2014 Members Share Posted October 2, 2014 I should really get around to finally watching all the short-lived soaps (EMERALD, PAPER DOLLS, TITANS, etc.). Still working through SAVANNAH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 3, 2014 Members Share Posted October 3, 2014 EMERALD is up in its entirety on YT (at least the last time I checked, it only lasted for one season), and really had a top-notch cast. Charles Frank, Andrew Stevens, Susan Dey, Richard Dean Anderson, Richard Eden...I think the show strived to be what ARMY WIVES would become years later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 9, 2014 Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 A great cast but a real snooze too often. With the proper writing, Patrick O'Neil's Harlan could have been as memorable as J.R., a really charming and charismatic scoundrel. Sela Ward and Jill St. John were also underutilized. Two potentially fabulous primetime soap bitches that were underwritten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 9, 2014 Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'd totally forgotten that Sela Ward was also in the cast. This should have been a hit based on the cast alone, but poor, directionless writing will work against the great acting almost every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
