I never thought NBC had substantially consistantly high ratins since the early to mis 70s...

They arugably never fully recovered from the catastrophic collapse of 1980, which didn't just affect NBC Daytime but the whole network due to the Supertrain flop and Olympics boycott. That, plus the wholesale changes at Days and McKinsey leaving AW. It wasn't until 83/84 that there was a recovery and only when they settled on a three-hour soap block of Days, AW and Santa Barbara did they look like getting it right.

Another World was by this stage ('92) at the end of the Donna Swajeski period, which was the second longest HW tenure in AW history after Harding Lemay, which says it all really. It can be argued that NBC interference effectively scuppered any chance of its soap lineup becoming competitive again

Squeee, they mentioned "Homefront." Caroline was a horrible wife. IIRC, her husband Charlie wanted a baby and so she was all "Let's make one!" but she was taking some weird 1940s birth control and town bitch Ginger exposed her. Charlie promptly mounted his best friend's Italian widow.
