Members YRfan23 Posted February 2, 2016 Members Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Cool! thanks for this list! this all seems pretty legit, though I still have to say that I think all soaps aired episodes on black friday from at least 1991 till sometime in the early 2000's.......I have a Y&R episode that aired on 11/26/93 after thanksgiving. also for 1992 all soaps were preempted for winter Olympic coverage on February 17, and 21, 1992. also, though you don't have this date listed, I think Y&R was preempted for O.J on these dates: June 30, July 1-5-8, 1994.... This still makes me wish for a Jason47 type of site for Y&R/B&B LOL Edited February 2, 2016 by YRfan23 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted February 3, 2016 Members Share Posted February 3, 2016 I don't think there's a CBS Daytime pre-emption guide anywhere. We have to guess based on memories and Google Another 1989 event I thought of: San Francisco earthquake on October 17. Although the earthquake occurred in the late afternoon/early evening in San Francisco, there might have been some CBS news coverage in the morning/afternoon the next day. Forgot about CBS coverage of the 1992 Winter Olympics. Can't believe I missed Bill Clinton's inauguration in the 1993 list LOL. Also missed in 1993, Major League Baseball playoffs from October 5-13 but I'm not sure if there were any weekday afternoon games. Since 1994 was mentioned, some pre-emptions I can think of January 17: Los Angeles earthquake March 17 and 18: NCAA Men's Basketball June 30-July 8: OJ Simpson trial September 5 and 9: US Open Tennis November 24 and 25: Thanksgiving I believe Black Friday pre-emptions have been happening since at least the mid-1990s if not earlier, that's why I include that day whenever I compile a pre-emption list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted February 3, 2016 Members Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) It's just so hard to be certain LOL.....like on my episodes sometimes when there is breaking news, they do one of those alert messages saying one of the soaps will be preempted for that afternoon....Y&R seemed to hardly get effected by this, if not only having the first half preempted, but B&B ATWT and GL always seemed to have full days preempted....and I'm not sure if that meant they just skipped that episode entirely or showed it the next day.....I know on my October 1990 episodes the world series did preempt GL from 10/5-10/10 1990 I think, but Y&R and the others still had full weeks I believe.... I think they started doing a "no show" on "black friday" again from 1995 onwards (except when they air classics or repeats) but 1991 to maybe 94 they always had a show.....on the 11/26/93 episode I have they also advertise "Circus of the stars" which aired on that Friday.....(even though I get a feeling TV advertisements could be questionable too) 2/21/94 was preempted also for Oympic coverage oh and I read recently that Y&R was also preempted on 7/25/94 for more O.J Edited February 3, 2016 by YRfan23 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted February 5, 2016 Members Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) On the flip-side I was wondering about Y&R prime time episodes as I know as of five prime-time eps that aired in 1994, 1995, two in 1996 and 1998. I've heard a couple others rumored but don't specifically remember them airing in prime-time. I think Doug Shaughnessy wanted to do another but was turned down and stated to SOD they couldn't do another because of previous low ratings performances. The ad below advertises the 3/10/1998 one which was for Y&R's anniversary that year in which Nikki infamously interrupted Victor and Diane's dinner with Nick, Sharon, and Victoria to their amusement to beg for forgiveness for intervening in their marriage but say she and and Josh wanted a baby themselves right before Nikki and Josh were gunned down by Veronica. Also had the climax of Neil and Dru confronting each other with each other's lies if I recall right: Please register in order to view this content Edited February 5, 2016 by soapfan770 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted February 5, 2016 Members Share Posted February 5, 2016 Great shot of those 3 ladies! I didn't realize they did two in 1996? I know that's the one where Victor got shot, but didn't realize there was another..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members will81 Posted February 5, 2016 Members Share Posted February 5, 2016 Which was the one with Don Diamont's butt in it? I think that was 1996, was that the Victor getting shot episode. Funnily here in Australia those episodes aired during the day as normal (well 3 years later) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted February 5, 2016 Members Share Posted February 5, 2016 LOL the butt shot was the 1995 one... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sheilaforever Posted February 5, 2016 Members Share Posted February 5, 2016 Sorry to butt in once more: were Y&R and/or B&B preempted for the Kobe earthquake January 12/13, 1995 or for some more OJ in late January??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted February 6, 2016 Members Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I think in January 1995 Y&R was preempted: (though not 100% Certain) Jan 2,23,30 Y&R for some reason seemed immune to most of the later O.J coverage then the other soaps....
