Don't know about 12/19/72, but like I said above, we'll get confirmation once that Nielsen data arrives. I was just listing two additional preemptions from 12/72 and 1/73 that I hadn't seen you mention (the two funerals).

Wow, that's the lineup I watched as a child, 1969-1970,
(on school vacations), daily, especially in the summers:

That Girl
Bewitched
Password
AMC
(I didn't bother with Let's Make a Deal, Newlywed Game, and Dating Game, although I may have peeked, I thought they were all dumb)
GH
OLTL
(I didn't bother with Love, American Style)

But yeah, on school vacations from 1969-1970,
my sister and I watched That Girl, Bewitched, AMC, GH, and OLTL.
And sometimes Password.

    • That was my thought as well.  I realize Cameron Faulkner always came across as controlling and manipulative, but good lord.  They made him do everything short of killing a puppy on his way out, lol.
    • According to reports, dating to the original report by The Sun, Ben Mitchell was at the top of the list for Ben Wadley to return to the canvas and wanted to give Max Bowden a second chance at the role. Daily Mirror and Radio Times, among others, are further reporting on the return, so I suspect this brief return is going to test some waters. I'm probably in the minority, but I liked Bowden as Ben and hope to see him further excel in the role this time around. Digital Spy is now reporting Bowden's return as Ben Mitchell.
    • Hmmm… are they ever better than the DVD rips we have in tha vault?

    • I don’t think they had to recast Charley. My impression at the time was that they didn’t feel Jo Anderson didn’t fit the perky/cute persona that they wanted/needed when Julianne Phillips left the show.
    • Can anyone suggest a good software program (for Mac) to backend rip? The episodes on ShoutTV seem far superior quality than YouTube. Thanks so much.  https://watch.shout-tv.com/series/3103
    • Thank you Paul! Recently, I have been reading the stories from 1965....the kidnapping of little Jessie by her real parents, the trial that was held, dr Noel and Brooke...and Meg.... 60 years now!!!! I have been searching the 1965 Thanksgiving episode that I think it exists in Youtube, without any luck....does anyone know if this episode exists or it is simple a trick of my mind...it must be so powerful see it!!! The other scene from 1965 is Steve and Audrey's wedding in February 1965!  I wish we can see these classic episodes in streaming one day ... Most of these actors must be dead, I hope we as fans don't die meanwhile we are waiting for this day!  
    • Episode 71: they formally introduce themselves by the pool (he didn’t know who she was in Ep.60)  Episode 136: first kiss
    • I am happy that Max (Branning) is back and that might get me back to watch the show again. I am happy that Bernie and Felix are leaving, because both are such boring characters to me. As for Ben being back.. I used to like him. But reading all that he's done in between me liking him and today makes me really dislike the character and I have no desire in seeing him unless he will be seen as a bad guy that he is on the show, which will not happen. 
    • Thanks @kalbir Looks like once the Corringtons left, Search struggled. National City Star-News, Volume 104, Number 18, 2 March 1986 Domini Blythe finds soap acting quite challenging By Nancy M. Reichardt English-born actress Domini Blythe Is a veteran of the finest classical theater companies In England, Canada and the United States, but her American television debut came only five short months ago when she accepted the role of Estelle Kendall on the NBC soap "Search for Tomorrow." Miss Blythe Joined the Royal Shakespeare Company In England when she was 18 years old. She did several films. Including "Tutankamun,” which was filmed In Egypt, then moved to Canada, where she eventually became a member of Canada’s Stratford Festival Company. Miss Blythe decided to seek work In the United States after she embarked upon an American teaching tour with the Royal Shakespeare Company. "After working between England and Canada for several years and expanding a lot of energy trying to keep a career going in both countries, it suddenly seemed to make much more sense to work li North America,” says Miss Blythe. "I landed a one-day role on 'Search for Tomorrow,”' she remembers “The feedback on that role was very good, and the producers said that they’d find a role for me, and the did with the role of Estelle. Asked why she agree to do a sopa opera role after her extensive credits I classical theater, she replied, "It seemed to me that this was the very best thing one could do upon coming here. Doing a soap provides a relatively stable Income with terrific exposure. "There's a challenge I playing a part that has no beginning and no end. It's so unlike anything else I’v ever done. I love the idea that a soap is a collaborative effort between you as an actor and the writer: which Is completely unlike performing the works of Shakespeare or any other  playwright who's dead." Miss Blythe describe Estelle as a “survivor'' an adds that she’s please that Estelle Is "a strong woman who can deal easily In a man’s world while she also has a very vulnerable side. "I like the fact that Estelle Is neither all good nor all bad like all hums beings,” Miss Blythe say "I find the Intricacies of the character interesting. Rather than dealing with murders, I'd prefer to deal with a corporate struggle. That’s something that can relate to more easily.
