Members MichaelGL Posted September 7, 2023 Members Share Posted September 7, 2023 Looking back, I've underestimated what a phenomenon AMC was back in the 80s. I'd say it's more consistent ratings wise compared to any other soap on ABC at the time, that includes GH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoeCool Posted September 7, 2023 Members Share Posted September 7, 2023 Very true. AMC is very underrated when compared to GH. AMC was higher rated than GH from 1975 through 1979. AMC hit number 1 in the weekly ratings in 1973. AMC was a phenomenon for a long time. GH got all the attention because of Luke and Laura. AMC also had toougher competition in its time slot than GH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members beebs Posted September 7, 2023 Members Share Posted September 7, 2023 12/31/84-1/4/85 - SFT's highest rating yet at NBC. LOV ties their series high. Unfortunately, the RH/LOV timeslot move is clearly a big bust, even at this point. Though LOV is moving upwards slightly, it's hardly improved on the previous year's numbers, and RH has tanked. I forget what was in LOV's old 11:30 timeslot at this point, and how were they doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members beebs Posted September 8, 2023 Members Share Posted September 8, 2023 Similar ratings for a much cheaper show to produce. So I guess it wasn't a total bust. Thanks, @JAS0N47! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kalbir Posted September 8, 2023 Members Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) January 3, 1985 Y&R Traci performance at empty Torchlight Club. That scene was chosen by Beth Maitland as her most memorable moment for the 50th anniversary clip compilation.

Members kalbir Posted September 9, 2023 Members Share Posted September 9, 2023 Spring 1985 some good stuff is coming up on Y&R: Ashley parentage reveal, the beginning of the eternal quadrangle. Also we'll start seeing Brenda Dickson becoming way too extra. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
