Daytime TV and soap magazine surveys

  • Members

A few years there was a thread started by the late SteveFrame's partner which listed some Daytime TV surveys from the '70s. A few other people, including myself, added some surveys.

I'm going to link to the old thread, and use this thread to periodically add some surveys I have which weren't previously posted.

Here is a survey from the August 1989 Daytime TV.

I can hardly believe that woman suggested AW run for 90 minutes!

Yeah that made my jaw drop a little. They should have given her a cut.

LOL at the lady talking about missing her son's Wednesday night wedding for Dynasty. Are these people for real? I like what that other lady said about Iris/Alexis Carrington.

Maybe it was Virginia Dwyer, hell bent on getting revenge on Paul Rauch. ; )

This is from the May 1991 issue.

I just noticed the Best Soap column in this poll- look at the "Last Issue" list- there's a spot missing- #5. I'm almost positive this is when Generations was cancelled. Is it possible that Generations peaked at #5 it's last month on the air? I don't EVER remember seeing Generations higher than #10-13.

Thank you both for reading! This is my last from the SB era for now but I do have others. I also have a Weekly survey from around early 1990, and it heavily features SB. Interestingly enough there are no rankings for Guiding Light - no favorite actors, couples, and #9 in favorite soap. I guess their fans just weren't as vocal.

Bring on that SOW survey!

GL's popularity skyrocketed in the poll, along with AW's, in 1992 or 93.

I wanted to try something different. This is from a May 1987 Soap Opera Stars. If you liked this, let me know. I have a few more.

Yes! This is the other magazine Readers Poll in the 80s I was referring to- in my area, it was easier to find sometimes than Daytime TV, probably because Daytime TV actually sold. Please post ANY that you have in here Carl!

So. Excited.

Anybody notice the ironic listing of Nos. 3 and 4 under Best Teen Performer?
