Members Melroser Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 I agree. Keep 'em coming! It amazes me how much shows vary from week to week and month to month back then. I know I used to follow ratings back then, but it must have been such a norm that I never really noticed. Man, I wish there were that many shows and that much competition still today! The quality would have to improve for sure. Now networks just don't care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted November 13, 2019 Members Share Posted November 13, 2019 Like I said, I am learning so much from these ratings. For instance, you could look back and pinpoint almost exactly when the wheels on the Kobe/Long era of GL began to fall off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanessaReardon Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 True story here. In early 1986, I was not enjoying GL. I wrote to Gail Kobe and told her that I was not enjoying the show. I received a letter back from her that I thought was kind of harsh. She said that my letter was unfocused so she couldn’t take it seriously. Maybe my letter was unfocused, I truly don’t remember what I said in it, I just remember that ratings were falling and I didn’t enjoy the show anymore. A few weeks later she was fired and I remember being happy about it. To me, it was justification that others (her bosses) were unhappy with her work. I wasn’t the only one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vetsoapfan Posted November 15, 2019 Members Share Posted November 15, 2019 And here I thought that I was the only one who received a condescending (i.e., bitchy) reply from Kobe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Melroser Posted November 17, 2019 Members Share Posted November 17, 2019 Great to see AW have a couple of 6's. I wonder what was going on the week of 7/11/86 to cause a 6.3? Isn't '86 when Tom Eplin, Ellen Wheeler, Stephen Schnetzer, Julie Osburn, Anna Stuart, and Sharon Gabet all left. I remember being devastated at the time. I loved Cass and Kathleen! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
