Members YRBB Posted October 14, 2023 Members Share Posted October 14, 2023 @yrfan1983 Yes, the show was enormously popular in large parts of Europe from the very beginning, including Italy and Greece. I've told the story before, I think, of B&B in Greece: While the show was called the equivalent of Bold and Beautiful in Greek, its nickname to fans was indeed "Caroline". In fact, 15 years later or so, when my grandpa saw me watching B&B, he asked "Are you watching Caroline?" It was so incredibly endearing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Videnbas Posted October 14, 2023 Members Share Posted October 14, 2023 I'm at that point too and it is VERY uncomfortable to watch! It's like even the actors don't like it. I am just waiting for it to be over. The show had very little going on during the fall of 1995. Now Sheila is back and it's finally getting somewhat interesting again with the whole One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest thing. But anything involving Jessica or Rick is barely watchable to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted October 14, 2023 Members Share Posted October 14, 2023 I've noticed that lol but I do have to admit, I find it all more interesting and watchable than the doldrums of late 93-early 94, with James and his daddy issues and Karen and Connor's sex life Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted October 19, 2023 Members Share Posted October 19, 2023 I know a number of people here were trying to keep up spreadsheets of the B&B episode numbers and dates. Even the official B&B Channel had 1987 completely wrong! For those who don't know, @JAS0N47 is posting official Nielsen Ratings information in the 1980s Ratings Thread in the Cancelled Soaps forum, so now, we finally have accurate preemption information! I am only going to post the full preemptions, not partials (we have the full episodes digitized anyway), just to track the dates. They will eventually be posted on his site here https://www.jason47.com/days/nielsensweekly.html Iran-Contra Preemptions: July 7, 8, 9, 10 July 14, 15, 17 July 23 July 29 August 3 US Open September 7, 11 Thanksgiving November 26, 27 Reagan/Gorbachev Summit: December 8 Christmas: December 25 New Year's December 31 January 1 (1988) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Troppo Posted October 19, 2023 Members Share Posted October 19, 2023 Wow, I didn't know about December 8th. So basically 1987 had one less episode and 1988 had one more episode. Can you confirm if January 26th is a preemption as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted October 19, 2023 Members Share Posted October 19, 2023 1/26/88? There was no preemption that day. I listed the 4 preemptions in 1988. Those are the only ones in 1988. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Troppo Posted October 19, 2023 Members Share Posted October 19, 2023 Ok thanks. IMDb had that date as a preemption for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted October 19, 2023 Members Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) I actually counted all of 87-88 on the official B&B page and the dates all add up! Please register in order to view this content I always wondered why B&B aired its Christmas show on 12/28/87 that year (when another person had uploaded that episode and Y&R from the same date years ago) but the 12/8/87 preemption is the reason we have learned.
