Members Paul Raven Posted February 27, 2023 Author Members Share Posted February 27, 2023 The expansion of AW meant a rearranged NBC schedule Noon Jeopardy cancelled every show moved up half an hour Password Plus from 12.30 to noon Hollywood Squares from 1pm to 12.30 Days of Our Lives from 1.30 to 1pm The Doctors from 2.30 to 2pm Another World from 3pm to 2.30 Rather than a total change maybe The Doctors could have been moved to 1pm. Then Days/AW would air in ablock-their 2 strongest soaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I was utterly shocked! I would've thought Lisa was a part of the Bay City canvas at lest twice that long! Just goes to show you what your memory can do to you!! I wonder what else I recall WRONG!!! 🫵🫰Now Hear This! Memory is Faulty! Look it up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted February 27, 2023 Members Share Posted February 27, 2023 @Paul Ravenor in retrospect maybe NBC should have kept Jeopardy, given its popularity and longevity, and it may have propelled the entire lineup, much like Price is Right did for CBS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted February 27, 2023 Author Members Share Posted February 27, 2023 Jeopardy had played at noon for years until January 1974 when it was moved to 10.30 am. Then in July 74 it was shifted again to 1.30 pm. Cancelled in Jan 75 to make way for How To Survive A Marriage. It didn't resurface until Oct 78 at 10.30 am.Then in Jan 79 it was back to noon before being dumped in March with the daytime reshuffle to make way for the 90 min AW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted February 27, 2023 Members Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) And I guess despite the longevity of the Password franchise (classic, plus, and super) it never really sustained the rest of the lineup similar to CBS's gameshow success Edited February 27, 2023 by j swift 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 28, 2023 Members Share Posted February 28, 2023 Speaking of an actor from Another World, is anyone else here reading Anne Heche's new book? I've got it on my kindle & I'm up to Chapter 4 & it is really quite good. I had no idea she had it in her to do a book like this. Has anyone heard or read anything about its sales? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted February 28, 2023 Author Members Share Posted February 28, 2023 Going off topic but NBC should have based their gameshow line up around Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and Concentration and maybe Sale of the Century as building blocks for 2 or 3 others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 28, 2023 Members Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) I just wish that NBC had had leadership that could've made them strong & that they had not worked to kill or get rid of AW. It was a real shame to lose such a little jewel. And, game shows could've been part of a larger plan. I just heard that Mariska Hargitay who plays Olivia Benson on L&O:SVU, that her character is the longest-running in TV history & that is 22 years. Well, of course that's primetime. They're not thinking about soaps. So AW doesn't have anyone who was original cast till its end, of course. So, I just picked Victoria Wyndham & she was there for 27 years. Going off-topic Helen Wagner who played Nancy Hughes from first show till one of the last, was on ATWT for 54 years! Mary Stuart, SFT's Jo was 35 years.

Members chrisml Posted February 28, 2023 Members Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) Someone uploaded an episode of AW in the middle of a Bill Cullen tribute (don't know why AW is connected to Bill Cullen). The video is here: AW post AW is 2:59:20 into the video. I don't know the year of the episode but it has Christopher Knight and Susan Keith if that narrows it down (my first-hand AW knowledge is 1986 through just before Frankie's death).

Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2023 Members Share Posted February 28, 2023 March 12, 1981. The full episode is on Youtube. There is the NBC bit at the start but I wonder if they got this from when AOL was running 80-81 AW (I see that Texas, which they also ran, is on afterward). Thanks for finding that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 28, 2023 Members Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) The announcer said it was Mar-Apr 1981, the NY station. We have Rachel & Ada arguing over Jamie marrying Cecile. (He went out of town & they got married.) Jamie & Cecile (Richard Bekins & Susan Keith) talking. Ray Liotta & Blane. Jamie confronting Rachel. She alleges that Cecile has lost all of her money, her inheritance is gone & she just wants Jamie because she's broke. He says she stood by him while he was in jail & took care of business on the outside for him. He decides that Mac & Rachel don't trust him or treat him like an adult. ... This is going to go on for a good while & I can't stick with it right now. Another World Memories tweeted today that Connie Ford started on 2-28-1967. Because of that I just shared her singing at the 1992 Fan Club Luncheon & if anyone here hasn't seen it, it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXvKrEjX4aw&t=796s Edited February 28, 2023 by Tonksadora Connie today's date 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted March 1, 2023 Members Share Posted March 1, 2023 A character staying two years on Another World in the 80s equals staying 4 to 5 years on another soap Tonks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
