In front of the new serial, Young Marrieds will continue in the 3:30 spot with an appeal directed not only to young housewives but also to teenage girls who are not yet but soon may be young housewives.

Members Paul Raven Posted November 16, 2016 Author Members Share Posted November 16, 2016 March 65 Re NBC daytime plans The names of 11 programs in development for future daytime stripping were given: Morningstar, West Wind, Days of Our Lives, The New Land, Two Worlds, The Bitter and The Sweet, Point Paradise, Time and Tide, Split Second, Jan Murray Show and Post Office. Slit Second and Post Office were game shows. Jan Murray talk/variety. The rest were soaps. Morningstar and Days made it to air as did Point Paradise (Paradise Bay) West Wind, New Lands and Bitter and the Sweet have been mentioned in this thread.Two Worlds and Time and Tide are new to me.

Members Paul Raven Posted November 21, 2016 Author Members Share Posted November 21, 2016 Broadcasting Magazine March 1975 Comedy soaps may be the next trend in daytime. For CBS, Norman Lear has already taped two episodes of Mary Hartman, satire on daytime drama.Sullivan Productions has also delivered 10 scripts, also to CBS. of ethnic daytime comedy Change at 125th Street. And NBC is developing Love and Kisses, another send up of soap operas, with Mel and Ethel Brez as headwriters, for Sullivan Productions. The networks chickened out on this concept.Guess they were scared of a backlash from P&G for ridiculing their product and a nervousness that traditional viewers wouldnt get the satire?
