Since they are in a different format, I just attempted AMC preemptions for 1994-1995. For these years, we will not have the exact times of special reports (when they air inside an episode, say from 120-126PM). We also only have the percentage of affiliates airing the episode (not the #). The preemption dates can be figured out quickly enough as I just did with AMC, but the reasons (whenever I research this more fully) will only be available for rated shows (no longer have the titles on un-rated special reports, but of course they usually are just titled ABC Special Report, so you can figure that to be the case usually). I didn't check on preemption reasons, so for now the full preemption dates are the ones that are fully blank. Just wanted to try out one soap to see how it went. So here you go, the AMC 1994-1995 preemptions, covering the two years of the OJ case:
 
All My Children
1/17/94
4/22/94 1-138 (38 minutes); 138-2PM PBO (75 percent affs)
4/26/94 1-133 (33 minutes); 133-2PM PBO (74 percent affs)
5/23/94 1-149 (49 minutes)
6/17/94 (52 minutes) (8 minute preemption during episode)
6/20/94 1-130 & 145-2 (45 minutes); 130-145 PBO (74 percent affs)
6/28/94 (41 minutes) (19 minute preemption during episode)
6/30/94
7/1/94
7/5/94
7/6/94
7/7/94
7/8/94
7/22/94
8/19/94 1-130 (30 minutes)
9/16/94 (50 minutes) (10 minute preemption during episode)
11/24/94
11/25/94
1/2/95
1/24/95 1-122 (22 minutes)
1/25/95
1/30/95
1/31/95 101-2 (59 minutes)
2/6/95 1-153 (53 minutes)
2/27/95 1-154 (54 minutes)
4/19/95
4/20/95 (53 minutes) (7 minute preemption during episode)
8/10/95 1-130 (30 minutes)
8/16/95 110-2 (50 minutes)
9/4/95
9/26/95 1-129 (29 minutes; listed as breakout; 83 percent affs)
10/16/95 127-2 (33 minutes)
11/8/95 124-2 (36 minutes); 1-124 PBO (80 percent affs)
11/23/95
11/24/95
12/25/95

1978 WEEKLY NIELSEN CHARTS NOW POSTED, PLUS A CHECKLIST OF NIELSEN RATINGS DATA STILL MISSING SINCE 12/26/77...
 
The 1978 weekly ratings data is now available here: http://www.jason47.com/days/ratings1978.html
 
In addition, here is a checklist of the 10 weeks of Nielsen ratings data still missing since the week of 12/26/77:
 
Two Full Regular Weeks (2): 4/10/78, 4/17/78. These two weeks are missing the final ratings/shares/affiliates/clearances and partial preemptions data. Full preemption data is confirmed by comparing the # of telecasts in the preceding and succeeding books. ATWT had one preemption during the two missing weeks.
 
Two Partial Regular Weeks (2): 10/19/87, 12/14/87. These two weeks have ratings data, unconfirmed but likely to be accurate, from a SON post in 2019. These weeks are missing the shares/affiliates/clearances and partial preemptions data. Full preemption data is confirmed by comparing the # of telecasts in the preceding and succeeding books.
 
Fast Weekly Weeks (6): 3/20/78, 4/24/78, 6/26/78, 8/28/78, 12/25/78, 8/24/81. These six weeks are all missing the preliminary ratings and full/partial preemptions data.
 
All weekly Nielsen ratings charts from 1978-Present are now posted here, except for 1988 and 1989, which will be posted in the next few months: http://www.jason47.com/days/nielsensweekly.html

I have just posted the Another World 1994-1995 preemptions in the 1990's ratings thread, so I will be adding the rest of the soaps in that thread when time permits. Of course, as you know, alphabetically next is one of your soaps, BB, so check there for that data soon! (Oops, I just saw ATWT is next, but BB is coming soon after).

Yet somehow is not cracking the top 5. Y&R, the ABC big three, Days are all jockeying for position in the top 5.

I know supercouple Days was popular, but I don't believe supercouple Days was a better show than Marland As the World Turns.

March 3, 1988 Y&R Nina Arvesen debut.

March 15, 1988 Y&R Chance's birth.

Writer's strike began March 7, 1988. We'll start seeing the impact of the strike soon.

B&B one year and clearance hasn't really moved (94% to 93%).

Feb. 29-March 4, 1988, on GH -- The fallout from Robert and Duke returning Anna to safety. Will Anna survive? Does Anna want Robert, as Duke comes to believe? Will Duke be able to break free from the mob? Also, is Frisco alive?

    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
