Members Paul Raven Posted January 3, 2024 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2024 (edited) The week Y&R went to #1 When Jody told Tom she's pregnant, he advised her to get an abortion or place the child up for adoption. Chris received a court order for Karen's custody case and suspected Ron's actions towards Nancy. Liz told Jill to face the fact that Jill likes Derek, not David. Lorie was miffed that Lance refused to consider Vanessa's decision to move out. AMC at #1 Nick terminated his relationship with Erica after she told Mark about being Mark's half-sister. Erica retaliated by deciding to keep her affair with Nick a secret. Brooke was jealous after Devon changed her mind about Pine Valley after meeting Danny. Kitty's condition deteriorated. Frank assured Caroline he loved her although Nancy accepted a job in town. Little Phil turned to Chuck after Phil argued with the child. Chuck proposed to Donna. Phoebe threatened Charles with a countersuit naming Mona as co-respondent. Re Days. So Ann Marcus did bring up the ratings over Summer with Days at #4 and #3. Interesting to see how that goes in the second half of the year. GH slumping. Edited January 3, 2024 by Paul Raven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beebs Posted January 3, 2024 Members Share Posted January 3, 2024 (edited) Yeah, these numbers explains a lot of what happened in 1978. Ann Marcus gave DAYS a real jolt, presumably because of the Sam/Marlena story, so I can see why she lasted as long as she did in the head writer spot, but she couldn't sustain the momentum. As for GH, they didn't look like they were doing so badly until the summer hit, and now they're some weeks only above EON. ABC's cancellation threats make a lot more sense now. The Pollocks may have been popular on The Doctors, but they were tanking GH, and would be out by September, with Richard & Suzanne Holland filling in for a month before Irving & Tex Elman come over from SFT for another month. Then Marland arrives at the end of the year. CORRECTION: looking at the Daytime Serial Newsletters, it appears Irving & Tex Elman arrive first in September 1977, and are out by mid-October, replaced with Richard & Suzanne Holland. Marland isn't credited as headwriter until some time in January 1978. Edited January 3, 2024 by beebs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MichaelGL Posted January 3, 2024 Members Share Posted January 3, 2024 Looks like ATWT fell quite a bit. Impressive numbers for AMC. Another World also rebounding (I wonder why). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted January 3, 2024 Members Share Posted January 3, 2024 Wow, the way these numbers yo-yo is quite remarkable, along with their ever-changing rankings. Also, everyone's back in the 8's and 7's when just a couple months back, their May sweeps numbers were down in the 6's/5's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members watson71 Posted January 3, 2024 Members Share Posted January 3, 2024 On AW, the Sven storyline was beginning to be front burner. He would kidnap Rachel. Iris was in on his schemes to break up Mac and Rachel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted January 4, 2024 Members Share Posted January 4, 2024 Lots of jockeying for position. Remember too that numbers get higher in the summer with the kids off school. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted January 5, 2024 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2024 (edited) Days from #4 to # 10 the next few months should put the Ann Marcus era in perspective. Although Love of Life was way down in the rankings it was airing at 11.30 am when viewership was lower. The competition was Knockout on NBC and Family Feud on CBS so I would imagine LOL was #2 in the timeslot and may have been scoring slightly better demos in W 18-49 than the game shows. EDIT went back through this thread and found ratings for w 18-34 Jan thru Aug 78. Family Feud was #1 in that demo and LOL #17 Edited January 5, 2024 by Paul Raven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
