Members Manny Posted August 20, 2023 Members Share Posted August 20, 2023 I remember in early 90s, in Croatia we suddenly had Guiding Light, As the World Turns and Edge of Night all airing for one year. I guess our main TV Network at the time bought the package of the soaps for one year. Unfortunately, I guess none of them caught on with the audience, because I am pretty sure they only aired for 1 year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 20, 2023 Members Share Posted August 20, 2023 Is there a story to go with the discovery?!! I admit I am fascinated with your process. Finding 6 previously missing weeks from 44 years in the past is so freaking amazing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JAS0N47 Posted August 20, 2023 Members Share Posted August 20, 2023 The word's been out asking if anyone has the Nielsen books that were still needed. So, someone responded this week that they did have the needed 1979 issues. Simple as that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 20, 2023 Members Share Posted August 20, 2023 That's just fantastic! On a DAYS question, wasn't Friday's episode the longest we've ever had? 52 minutes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted August 20, 2023 Members Share Posted August 20, 2023 As we get into 1983, we'll see how these pivotal events play out in the ratings: Y&R finishing touches on the transition. Guiding Light EP change to Gail Kobe and HW change to Pamela Long. Supercouple-era Days starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted August 20, 2023 Members Share Posted August 20, 2023 I subtracted the Suzanne Rogers tribute at the end, which wasn't technically part of the episode, but even with that, at 49:57, yes it is the longest episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted August 20, 2023 Members Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) By the end of 1982 we saw four tiers form among the soaps. Top: General Hospital, All My Children, One Life to Live Second: Y&R, As the World Turns, Guiding Light Third: Capitol, Ryan's Hope, Days Bottom: Another World, The Edge of Night, Texas, Search for Tomorrow, The Doctors Edited August 20, 2023 by kalbir 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoeCool Posted August 20, 2023 Members Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Hi. I think Y and R should be in the Top Tier. Restless would beat or tie OLTL in 1982. Edited August 20, 2023 by JoeCool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JoeCool Posted August 20, 2023 Members Share Posted August 20, 2023 Wow All My Children hitting at 11 and a 10 rating! Solidly beating GH! Yes the holidays but still! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted August 20, 2023 Members Share Posted August 20, 2023 We'll also see if there's any truth to L. Virginia Browne's claim that she brought Guiding Light up 2 full ratings points -- from 8th place to 3rd place -- during her short stint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted August 20, 2023 Members Share Posted August 20, 2023 1982/83 seasonal ratings has Y&R in 4th, behind the ABC big three. 1983/84 seasonal ratings Y&R moves past One Life to Live for 3rd. Sometime during 1983 we'll see Y&R move ahead of One Life to Live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
