Members te. Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 Interesting how similar these numbers are, yet if I read this right, Knots had 12.5% coverage yet had pretty much the same numbers as Dynasty and Dallas which both had around 50%? Makes you wonder if Knots could've done better than both of them with more coverage, but maybe these just overperformed in some and bombed in others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 5 Author Members Share Posted January 5 I guess a lot depended on timeslots. Some stations might show Knots at 4pm and others late night. It's not as straightforward as network. I remember seeing in Variety Lorimar placing ads to tout KL for example, and cherry picking markets where the show was doing well, whereas actual ratings reports painted a different picture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted January 6 Members Share Posted January 6 Do you have Dallas, Dynasty, Knots Landing syndicated ratings for this time? It would be interesting to see how they fared in comparison to early Oprah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members te. Posted January 12 Members Share Posted January 12 Very interesting to see how the total viewers differs from the actual Nielsen ratings. Makes me wonder how the charts year-to-year would look if they just showed total viewers; would there be the same drastic drop-off over the decades pre-00s? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted January 13 Members Share Posted January 13 I thought the same thing; would be awesome to see those types of comparison charts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted January 21 Author Members Share Posted January 21 ABC lost ground 11-12 once Love Boat reruns were out of the schedule. It seemed the perfect show for that slot, familiar light and easy and it filled up the whole hour. Benson/Loving didn't have the same appeal. I wonder if Fantasy Island was ever considered for daytime showing? I guess as it was more dramatic it was felt it wasn't suitable for mornings. That gave NBC some leverage with Wheel of Fortune/Dream House which I think got some of their best ratings in years in that slot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 21 Author Members Share Posted January 21 Some further context July 4-8 83 CBS 7.0 6.3 1 yr ago ABC 6.5 down from 7.7 1 yr ago NBC 5.0 up from 3.9 1 yr ago TPIR 9.4/36 NBC Dream House 20 share - first time NBC beat ABC at 11.30 in almost 7 yrs, showing how Loving had damaged the schedule. Family Feud at midday had also declined due to a weaker lead-in. A pity NBC daytime couldn't have built on that renewed success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members te. Posted January 21 Members Share Posted January 21 No wonder they cancelled Search For Tomorrow and moved up Scrabble - that show was low-key killing it in its slot! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted January 21 Members Share Posted January 21 (edited) New game show Wordplay replaced Search for Tomorrow at 12:30 pm and its run was December 29, 1986 to September 4, 1987. NBC moved Scrabble to 12:30 pm on September 7, 1987, where it remained until March 24, 1989. Scrabble probably was a better lead in for Days than Search for Tomorrow, Wordplay, and Generations were, but I think it's safe to say that Y&R was clobbering it.
