Members Contessa Donatella Posted November 19, 2023 Members Share Posted November 19, 2023 Thanks I am doing some research, trying to find out how bad GH was, when they brought in Marland & Monty in 1978. My bad luck there's no '77. Anyway, thanks for the reply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members beebs Posted December 30, 2023 Members Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) Well you can definitely see why NBC pulled L&F so quickly with those numbers. YIKES. This is at the tail end of Pat Falken Smith's run as HW at DAYS, and something isn't working anymore. Around this time was a HEAVY focus on Patty Weaver's Trish killing her pervy stepdad, then developing DID so she didn't remember doing it, and setting up Sharon Duvall as something of a sex-crazed spoiler for Don & Marlena, while Mickey continued to recover from his mental break from the previous year. Even just writing this out, you can tell how very heavy the stories were at this time, and I'm sure it was starting to get a bit much for the audience. By the middle of the missing Fast Nationals week (4/20/77 according to the ever-amazing @JAS0N47's website), Ann Marcus would take over and make some really quick, sometimes jarring story and character shifts. It's slightly surprising to see GH be threatened with cancellation with such middling numbers. They were really only about a half point below OLTL and RH at this point, so it seems a bit strange that ABC had its neck on the chopping block when it wasn't honestly doing much worse than its competition, what with AW not pulling in particularly strong numbers at this point either.

Members watson71 Posted December 30, 2023 Members Share Posted December 30, 2023 At the time, CBS was counter programming AW with reruns of All in the Family (primetime’s #1 show) and Match Game, so that explains the dip in the ratings. They should pick back up again as AW tied ATWT for the top spot in the ratings for 1977-78. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
