@JAS0N47 Thank you for posting the article.

CBS used reruns of Family Affair, All in the Family, Here's Lucy, M*A*S*H, One Day at a Time, The Jeffersons, Alice as time fillers in the daytime schedule.

Earlier in the thread I thought Thanksgiving 1976 was the earliest CBS pre-emption for an NBA game. It's now moved up to Christmas 1975.

NIELSEN RATINGS SPOT CHECK:
 
While we are waiting for the arrival of 1974, I have some good news for ratings fans! We now have a small amount of ratings info for the first few weeks of each year from 1965-1974. This will provide a good spot check as to how all the daytime shows were doing at the beginning of each year. Only the ratings, shares and full preemption data is available for now. No stations, percentage covered or partial preemption info, but at least it's something to enjoy until the full 1974 data shows up! I will post each year from 1965-1974 backwards, starting with 1974:

@JAS0N47 Thank you! Early Xmas gift.

Interesting to see How to Survive A Marriage ahead of Y&R.

Y&R had been on air for almost a year but was still among the bottom soaps along with Secret Storm(about to be cancelled) and perennial also-rans Love of Life and Somerset.

Meanwhile HTSAM had a choice timeslot following AW and debuted with better numbers than its' predecessor Return to Peyton Place.

At the time it would seem that HTSAM would continue to build and Y&R might struggle but the opposite occurred.

From what little data I've seen from 1974, I think they spend the next few months with similar ratings. It would seem Y&R starts building more in the summer of 1974. While HTSAM stagnates.

But will be interesting to see how it played out, once more of 1974 eventually comes in next year.

As The World Turns @#1.

Jan 73 was a year into Irna Phillips return as headwriter. A lot of reports from that time say Irna brought the ratings down with some not well received stories so it will be interesting when we get the rest of 73 as she was fired later that year.

Game shows were really having their moment. 5 of the Top 10. They would have been even cheaper than soaps to produce but I guess the demos might not have been as desirable? and viewers not as loyal?

    • I did not care, just clarifying that was the discussion point. If there are ice cream bars in Statesville I am sure there is a full spa
    • Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.
    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
    • It absolutely was; the narrative was there, and they followed it promptly. Maybe that's back when women had babies at young ages?!?!?
