Members GLATWT88 Posted August 21, 2023 Members Share Posted August 21, 2023 It had a two hour premiere in primetime on a Sunday night. It just cracked the top 30 against mostly repeats I'm assuming since it was in late June. I'm wondering how that translated to its first week in daytime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 21, 2023 Members Share Posted August 21, 2023 I didn't remember the 2 hour movie. It posted a 13.3 rating and beat all the Primetime soaps that were in reruns.

Members GLATWT88 Posted August 21, 2023 Members Share Posted August 21, 2023 That's a decent start. I doubt it will mean much in daytime numbers. Also, interesting to see a repeat of Trapper John at the very top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 21, 2023 Members Share Posted August 21, 2023 Trapper John and The Jefferson's were Loving direct competition that night. NBC had the movie Evita which finished last in its timeslot with a 12.0 ranking 33rd for the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted August 21, 2023 Members Share Posted August 21, 2023 I was going to provide the quarterly hour ratings for that matchup, but 6/20-6/26/83 is a fast national week, so those are not available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted August 21, 2023 Members Share Posted August 21, 2023 ATWT at #3!! Days finally showing some life. That's too bad. Would've been nice to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 21, 2023 Members Share Posted August 21, 2023 Is that what she said Chris Schemering was going to correct in a new edition but then he died? About James Stenbeck, Anthony John Herrera played the role of James Stenbeck first from February 1, 1980 to October 31, 1983, so his introduction was as you'd seen or heard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted August 21, 2023 Members Share Posted August 21, 2023 Days moving up. Supercouple era must have started. Ryan's Hope slipping. No match for Y&R. Y&R about to be cemented in the Top 3. GL Gail Kobe and Pamela Long arrived in February 1983. We'll see their impact soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted August 21, 2023 Members Share Posted August 21, 2023 Thanks for all the insights into ratings history. I love looking back with an analytical lens. On the latest ratings, ATWT is showing growth after trailing in the previous years. And Days almost hitting 7s! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 21, 2023 Members Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) James terrorizing Barbara with Gunnar her savior and the Steve/Betsy/Craig triangle featured in this month and in March.

Members JAS0N47 Posted August 22, 2023 Members Share Posted August 22, 2023 That may be one of the reasons ABC didn't mind showing Loving in primetime. It was one of the 4 weeks per year that didn't count toward any yearly averages, such as the ABC Sunday Night Movie package, which is what it officially aired as. I did notice that the Loving timeslot was only from 9 to 1050PM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted August 22, 2023 Members Share Posted August 22, 2023 I watched the clip you posted. Some good stuff. I am curious what the numbers for Betsy and Steve's wedding in May 84 will turn out to be. I know there's the much repeated 20 million, but there's also much doubt surrounding that figure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted August 22, 2023 Members Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) That intro date seems to be the most reported. 1980 was CBS's year of the villain. February 1, 1980 As the World Turns introduces James Stenbeck as their new villain. February 8, 1980 Y&R introduces Victor Newman as their new villain. April 1, 1980 GL Roger fall off the cliff in Santo Domingo. Edited August 22, 2023 by kalbir 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted August 22, 2023 Members Share Posted August 22, 2023 If I remember correctly, after the movie ended at 10:50 p.m., the last 10 minutes featured Dorothy Lyman from All My Children giving a preview of Loving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
