I have the February 16, 1998 episode as pre-empted! Thanks for filling in those blanks for '92 and '94. What about '96? The only Monday I have left that could possibly be pre-empted is Monday February 26, 1996. Do you happen to know if that matches up with the Olympics? 

Do you know when CBS Sports coverage of the Olympics began? I have Monday February 19, 1990 pre-empted as well. In 1988 I have no info on any of the February Mondays. In 1986, however, all of the February Mondays seem to have aired for ATWT.

From December 10, 1991 onwards, the next checkpoint is October 2, 1991, #9102, which is in the P&G Archives and therefore a non-UCLA source. 2 episodes were pre-empted, one of which we know for sure:

November 28, 1991: Thanksgiving

 

For the remaining pre-emption, I have 2 potential candidates. Both episodes are listed as airing in the newspapers, but there could have been unplanned pre-emptions:

 

October 9, 1991: dual Baseball game??

October 11, 1991: Clarence Thomas hearings?? 

 

Out of the two, the CT hearings seem a more likely candidate, as the dual Baseball game would have surely been planned and therefore appeared in the listings? But now I'm speculating and I try to do as little of that as I can.

 

October 2, 1991 - December 10, 1991: 2 pre-emptions, 1 confirmed, 2 candidates. Status: open

Since the UCLA dates in the last few posts got a bit messy, here is this entire period between non-UCLA checkpoints:

 

October 2, 1991 (#9102) is in the P&G Archives, as is November 10, 1992 (#9381). In between, there were 10 pre-emptions. We know about these 9: 
 

November 28, 1991: Thanksgiving

December 25, 1991: Christmas

December 31, 1991: New Year's Eve

January 1, 1992: New Year's Day

February 17, 1992: Olympics

March 19, 1992: NCAA Men's Basketball

March 20, 1992: NCAA Men's Basketball

September 7, 1992: US Open

September 11, 1992: US Open

 

For the remaining pre-emption, we have these two candidates:

 

October 9, 1991: dual Baseball game??

October 11, 1991: Clarence Thomas hearings?? 

 

October 2, 1991 - November 10, 1992: 10 pre-emptions, 9 confirmed, 2 candidates. Status: open

From October 2, we make our way to June 11, which is #9025 according to... the UCLA Library (I know... but this one will be backed up by the next entry, bear with me). There were 4 pre-emptions, and we know about two of them for sure:

 

September 2, 1991: US Open

September 6, 1991: US Open

 

For the remaining two pre-emption slots, I have one potential candidate:

 

August 20, 1991: Reason unknown, but could have been pre-empted according to @YRfan23 [listed regularly in historical newspapers, so if pre-empted, would have been an unplanned pre-emption]

 

June 11, 1991 - October 2, 1991: 4 pre-emptions, 2 confirmed, 1 candidate. Status: open

So, the reason why I trust that UCLA-based date is that only a few episodes earlier, on June 3, we get to #9019, which is in the P&G Corporate Archives (as well as the Museum of Broadcast Communications). That one matches up with #9025, so there would not have been any pre-emptions.

 

Of course, there is a slight chance the June 3/#9025 combination could be off, but either way, we are looking for 2 more pre-emptions in between June 3 and October 2.

 

June 3, 1991 - June 11, 1991: 0 pre-emptions. Status: closed

The Olympics I remember CBS broadcasting were Albertville 1992, Lillehammer 1994, Nagano 1998. 1992 was the last year Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics were held in the same year, therefore no Winter Olympics in 1996.

 

Monday February 20, 1989 and Monday February 19, 1990 were NBA Basketball afternoon games; those two dates were President's Day. CBS Sports coverage of NBA Basketball was 1973-1990. Two other NBA dates for your list: Monday May 27, 1985 and Monday May 26, 1986 were NBA Finals afternoon games; those two dates were Memorial Day.

I just checked the Wikipedia page for CBS Olympic Broadcasts, and apparently CBS covered it in 1960 (Winter & Summer), and then in 1992, 1994 and 1998 (Winter only). 

 

They had the NBA rights from 1973 - 1990, so there might be a lot more there. I'm making a mental note to dive into that, try to find afternoon games and/or dates that were simultaneously holidays.

 

May 26, 1986 seems to have aired, if it's dated correctly. May 1985 is wide open still, so it's possible.

 

Thanks so much for your help!

I just found a wonderful page with descriptions for 1956/57 episodes, coming from TV Guide issues. 

http://www.oocities.org/televisioncity/studio/5185/stories/1956.html

http://www.oocities.org/TelevisionCity/Studio/5185/stories/1957.html

 

However, this info seems to corroborate your first post above, not the second. It also states there actually WAS a Thanksgiving pre-emption.

 

What do you think @Paul Raven? How are we to interpret this info?

The Lisa plot thickens... The Paley Center has an episode dated December 16, 1965, which they called "Lisa And Bob's Custody Battle".
According to our info now, this would be in between Fulton's exit to do OPW (in '65) and her return (in '67). Interestingly, the cast list for the episode does not include Fulton or the character of Lisa.

Was Bob involved in a custody battle with an offscreen Lisa? Did Fulton make an appearance during her break from the show? Did Fulton in fact return much earlier than we previously believed?

Just found a lot more info on the collection held by the Jerome Lawrence & Robert E. Lee Theatre Research Institute, including a LOT of episode numbers!

Unfortunately, many of them do not match up with the episode numbers we've previously established (particularyly those from the P&G Archives), and some of them don't even match up with each other. Some of the dates listed are even weekend days.

 I swear, I love working on this project, but sometimes it just gets extremly frustrating. 

 

Sometimes, I wonder if this show actually had 13.858 episodes, or if that's just what some writers thought was the correct number.

Anyways, you know I will be triple-checking all of these numbers against the previously "established" info. I'll let you know when I know more.

OK, we left off on June 3, 1991. Next up is January 8, 1991, which is in the P&G Archives (and Museum of Broadcast Communications) as #8920.

This means 5 episodes were pre-empted in between. We know about these two for sure:

 

March 14, 1991: NCAA Men's Basketball

March 15, 1991: NCAA Men's Basketball

 

We have two potential candidates for the final three slots:

 

January 9, 1991: Possibly pre-empted for Gulf War news coverage?
January 17, 1991: Possibly pre-empted for Gulf War news coverage?

 

January 8, 1991 - June 3, 1991: 5 pre-emptions, 2 confirmed, 2 candidates. Status: open

December 20, 1990 is in the ATAS-UCLA Television Archives as #8910, which means 3 episodes were pre-empted in between. We know about all three of them:

 

December 25, 1990: Christmas

July 4, 1990 is also in the same archive, as #8794. This lines up perfectly, which means there were no pre-emptions.

June 15, 1990 is also in the same archive (and the P&G Archive, and the Museum of Broadcast Communications), as #8794. This lines up perfectly, which means there were no pre-emptions.

I have one contender for the remaining pre-emption:

 

December 25, 1989: Christmas [listed as pre-empted in the newspapers, but appears on 2 Youtube channels from a later SoapNet re-airing. Possibly dated wrong?]

 

December 8, 1989 - June 15, 1990: 4 pre-emptions, 3 confirmed, 1 contender. Status: open

The next confirmed episode number is #8603, airing October 2, 1989, which is in the P&G Archives. 2 episodes need to have been pre-empted, and we know both of them:

 

November 23, 1989: Thanksgiving

November 24, 1989: Thanksgiving

 

October 2, 1989 - December 8, 1989: 2 pre-emptions, both confirmed. Status: closed

#8550, airing July 17, 1989, is everywhere (P&G Archives, ATAS-UCLA Television Archive, Museum of Broadcast Communications). 2 episodes were pre-empted, we know both of them:

 

September 4, 1989: US Open

September 8, 1989: US Open

 

July 17, 1989 - October 2, 1989: 2 pre-emptions, both confirmed. Status: closed

The March 20, 1989 episode is in the ATAS-UCLA Television Archive as #8465. That lines up perfectly, meaning there were no pre-emptions in between.

 

March 20, 1989 - July 17, 1989: 0 pre-emptions. Status: closed

February 17, 1989 is in the P&G Archives as #8445, meaning there was 1 pre-emption, which we have confirmed:

 

February 20, 1989: NBA Game (Houston vs. Cleveland)

 

February 17, 1989 - March 20, 1989: 1 pre-emption, confirmed. Status: closed

 

--

 

And then there is no confirmed number until November 3, 1987, nearly 1,5 years before. That episode is in the P&G Archives as #8120. There were 14 pre-emptions in between. We know about 10 of them:

 

November 26, 1987: Thanksgiving

November 27, 1987: Thanksgiving

December 25, 1987: Christmas

January 1, 1988: New Year's Day

September 5, 1988: US Open

September 9, 1988: US Open

November 24, 1988: Thanksgiving

November 25, 1988: Thanksgiving

December 26, 1988: Extended Christmas Holiday? [confirmed in The Journal listings]

January 2, 1989: Extended New Year's Holiday / Tournament of Roses

 

 For the remaining 4 pre-emptions, I have 5 potential contenders:

 

December 19, 1988: possible pre-emption in this week as per @YRfan23? [listed regularly in The Journal]

December 20, 1988: possible pre-emption in this week as per @YRfan23? [listed regularly in The Journal]

December 21, 1988: possible pre-emption in this week as per @YRfan23? [listed regularly in The Journal]

December 22, 1988: possible pre-emption in this week as per @YRfan23? [listed regularly in The Journal]

January 20, 1989: Bush inauguration? [listed regularly in The Journal]

 

Interestingly enough, I found absolutely nothing in the listings for that week about the inauguration. I did find that the Bush inauguration took place at noon. Since ATWT aired at 2PM, I'm wondering if the festivities would have been over by then? But that still doesn't account for the fact that the listings in The Journal didn't have anything at noon either. So possibly as mistake was made, in which case we shouldn't factor in the regular listing too heavily.  

 

November 3, 1987 - February 17, 1989: 14 pre-emptions, 10 confirmed, 5 contenders. Status: open

    • This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...I haven't seen so much scarf-sniffing since Blue Velvet. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf. Did our dear David Lynch watch GL?

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience?
