Some info regarding Watergate coverage in 1973. The hearings began May 17 (Thurs) and continued May 18.

They  resumed Tues May 22 and continued until Thurs May 24th so presumably ATWT aired Mon and Fri of that week.

 

All 3 networks aired those hearings and it was then decided they would alternate so viewers would have a choice and networks would cut costs as they were losing millions in advertising losses.

 

The hearings resumed Tues  June 5 with NBC covering, CBS took Wed June 6 and ABC Thurs June 7. They rotated in this manner from then on until the conclusion on Aug 7th. CBS covered 19 days.

However, the networks had the option of broadcasting Watergate on days not part of their rotation.CBS showed all 5 days of John Dean the week of June 25th.

 

Don't know if this is any help or is more confusing!!

I’m currently watching 1990. Either the episode on YouTube for Tuesday February 20th is labeled wrong or the show was pre-empted on Monday February 19th. The Tuesday February 20th episode picks up immediately from where Friday February 16th ended. I know you’ve been trying to figure out where some pre-emptions occurred. That may be one of your missing spots. Or, as I said, ATWST might just has the wrong date on that episode. Either way, I hope the information is helpful. Thanks for all the work you’ve put in to this project!

The episodes of 22, 23 and 26 October 1959 depicted the wedding of Penny Hughes and Jeff Baker.

 

This was reported in a California newspaper and goes against other reports that Penny and Jeff married Xmas Eve.Perhaps their first marriage, which was annulled, was on Xmas Eve.

Hope someone can clarify.

OK, let's see if we can figure this thing out.

 

Two questions (which you may not have an answer to, but I'll ask them anyway):


1.) When you say "rotated in this manner" do you mean they kept going in that specific order (NBC-CBS-ABC-NBC-CBS-ABC etc.), or just that they rotated in whatever order?

2.)  When you say "CBS covered 19 days", do you mean CBS took on 19 days of the rotation cycle, or CBS aired Watergate 19 times in general (including the hearings that were covered by all networks)?

I copied the Watergate-section of 1973 below to have some workspace. If I have interpreted your info correctly, we get this:

 

1973 5 17 Thursday ??? Watergate!   CBS / ABC / NBC
1973 5 18 Friday ??? Watergate!   CBS / ABC / NBC
1973 5 21 Monday ???     no hearings
1973 5 22 Tuesday ??? Watergate!   CBS / ABC / NBC
1973 5 23 Wednesday ??? Watergate!   CBS / ABC / NBC
1973 5 24 Thursday ??? Watergate!   CBS / ABC / NBC
1973 5 25 Friday ???     no hearings
1973 5 28 Monday ???     no hearings
1973 5 29 Tuesday ???     no hearings
1973 5 30 Wednesday ???     no hearings
1973 5 31 Thursday ???     no hearings
1973 6 1 Friday ???     no hearings
1973 6 4 Monday ???     no hearings
1973 6 5 Tuesday ???   Watergate? NBC
1973 6 6 Wednesday ??? Watergate!   CBS
1973 6 7 Thursday ???   Watergate? ABC
1973 6 8 Friday ???   Watergate? NBC?
1973 6 11 Monday ??? Watergate?   CBS?
1973 6 12 Tuesday ???   Watergate? ABC?
1973 6 13 Wednesday ???   Watergate? NBC?
1973 6 14 Thursday ??? Watergate?   CBS?
1973 6 15 Friday ???   Watergate? ABC?
1973 6 18 Monday ???   Watergate? NBC?
1973 6 19 Tuesday ??? Watergate?   CBS?
1973 6 20 Wednesday ???   Watergate? ABC?
1973 6 21 Thursday ???   Watergate? NBC?
1973 6 22 Friday ??? Watergate?   CBS?
1973 6 25 Monday ??? Watergate!   ABC?
1973 6 26 Tuesday ??? Watergate!   NBC?
1973 6 27 Wednesday ??? Watergate!   CBS?
1973 6 28 Thursday ??? Watergate!   ABC?
1973 6 29 Friday ??? Watergate!   NBC?
1973 7 2 Monday ??? Watergate?   CBS?
1973 7 3 Tuesday ???   Watergate? ABC?
1973 7 4 Wednesday ???   Watergate? NBC?
1973 7 5 Thursday ??? Watergate?   CBS?
1973 7 6 Friday ???   Watergate? ABC?

 

The exclamation marks indicate that we know CBS aired Watergate. The question marks indicate that CBS might have aired Watergate. The left column is based on a rotation cycle that goes NBC-CBS-ABC.

IF all of that is correct, we may have just uncovered 17 out of 19 Watergate pre-emptions. Obviously, that's still a big IF. 

ANY info, from ANYONE, would be very much appreciated!

Great catch @adrnyc ! Sorry for not responding to this earlier. Since the February 16 episode ends with Dan Region inviting us to join again on Monday, I had marked the February 19 episode as having aired, but obviously, an unplanned pre-emption could have taken place. Since the 21 episode picks up directly after the 20 episode, and I assume ATWST hasn't mis-labeled an entire week, I am going to assume February 19 may have indeed been pre-empted. Please share if you find more during your watching. The only way we are ever going to find the real pre-emptions is by actually comparing the ends of episodes to the beginnings of subsequent episodes.

 

 

This also means that between December 8, 1989 and May 11, 1990, in addition to the January 1 and February 19 episodes, only 1 more episode was pre-empted.

Funny enough, I already had that episode number linked to the episode in my file on my computer, but I see I forgot to update the 1982 section in this thread. I was able to figure out the episode numbers to a lot of 1982 episodes based off of the few episodes Patricia Bruder Debrovner uploaded a few months back. But it's always good when any of the episode numbers I've figured out are actually confirmed, so thanks as always!

Bumping up 1982:

 

 

 

We have almost connected 1982 to 1981, but what's odd is that there need to have been 6 pre-emptions between November 2, 1981 and February 1, 1982.

 

Even if both Thanksgiving days were pre-empted (which they always were from 1982 onwards, but likely weren't in 1980!), as well as Christmas, New Year's Eve (which likely wasn't pre-empted in 1980 OR 1982) and New Year's Day (fell during the weekend in '83 and '84; was always pre-empted from 1985 onwards, EXCEPT for 2004 for some reason), there would still be another pre-emption unaccounted for.

Still: I am amazed that we have nearly all of '80, '81 and '82 figured out, as well as half of '83.

    • As it happens, 40 years ago this week, ABC and CBS revealed their 1985-86 fall schedules. NBC revealed theirs the week before. ABC's would end up changing. The original plan for Tuesdays was to have Diff'rent Strokes lead the night, with He's the Mayor at 8:30, followed by Who's the Boss at 9, Growing Pains at 9:30, and Moonlighting at 10. There was some surprise over MacGruder & Loud not getting renewed, but it was considered part of Aaron Spelling's declining influence at the network. Yes, Dynasty was still a hit (for a while longer), but Aaron's shows steadily took up less and less of the schedule. Fall 1984: Seven hours, five of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, Glitter, Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, The Love Boat, Finder of Lost Loves; MacGruder & Loud aired at midseason, by which time Glitter was gone.). Fall 1985: Five hours, two of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Hollywood Beat, The Love Boat). Fall 1986: Three-and-a-half hours, a half-hour of which was new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Life With Lucy). Fall 1987: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and Hotel; HeartBeat premiered at midseason). Fall-winter 1988: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and HeartBeat). This led to Variety's infamous shady headline in spring 1989: "Aaron's Dynasty Over"
    • I hope for a multi-year renewal, too! This is the only show I've been excited to see the next episode in forever. Considering their demos are quite decent. the initial episodes showed there is still an interest in daytime, and it has helped to boost the rest of the soap line up at times, it should be around for a while.

    • I agree.  How many times did we have to watch Bobby vs. J.R., or Blake vs. Alexis, knowing that nothing would change at the end, and that everything would go back to status quo, so that they could fight the same, exhausting battles all over again?  If nothing else, I give FC and KL credit for trying to keep things fresh, even if I think FC, in particular, went too far in the other direction and became unrecognizable even to the most diehard fans. Exactly.  Plus, because viewers were so burned out by the kind of serialized storytelling that was beginning to affect even half-hour comedies, I think MSW represented a nice change of pace.  You didn't have to watch every week, or watch from the beginning of each season, to know what was going on with Miss Fletcher.  Instead, you could watch a complete story in one episode, de-stress from whatever had happened in your own life last week, gear yourself up for the week ahead, and be okay. If you notice, though, there were differences between those two shows and what Aaron Spelling had produced in the past.  For one thing, there was a greater emphasis on youth; and while characters on 90210 and MP certainly had more disposable incomes than the average viewer, their wealth wasn't as opulent as what we'd seen on DYNASTY or on "Hart to Hart."  Even the battles among Alison, Amanda, Billy and others at that advertising agency weren't as histrionic as those between Denver Carrington and ColbyCo.
    • I saw a conversation yesterday with Liam with the 7 dwarves hat and Steffy -  I know she did not say re: Hope and Liam said - well look at Finn and you forgave him right?      I know I did not hear Steffy say “well but you can’t compare that to…”  For *uck sake someone call the bitch out!?     You’re right, we shouldn’t compare your forgiveness for the dude with devil spawn seed whose daughter locked you in a cage along with crazy stepmom/mom/Grandmother who has also SHOT YOU BOTH - and multiple murder attempts but you have to exist with them / Hope’s part in a takeover which you know was FAR LESS THAN CARTER BECAUSE HOPE IS NOT AN ATTORNEY…. Goodness no, no the same thing at alllllllll.   When they do Steffy’s absence at least let it be because they all find out what a manipulative ho she is in her own right.      
    • I think a lot of us still agree with that. I do hope that the resurgence in the soap world with Beyond the Gates will push ABC to either bring back these shows or produce a newer one.
    • So, this was fun. Elsewhere, friendly to polls, a poll on what do you want to see at the Nurses Ball. The Gio reveal got 18%, for Blaze to return & sing also got 18%, for Jennifer Hudson to do a cameo & sing got 10% and for Lucy to lose various parts of clothing got 9% but the huge one was the reveal of Drew/Nina sex which got a whopping 45%!  
    •   I liked the effect of the curtains closing. Yeah it was like the end of Act I.   Or maybe they are simply trying to emphasize the drama of the end of an episode -- instead of a random abrupt end that has happened in some prior episodes.
    • I posted this in the behind the scenes thread but I know this thread is busier so wanted to mention it here as well. During their instagram live yesterday, Daphnee Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant mentioned that they will find out this month if the show is renewed for another season. Just a heads up so we can keep an eye out for an announcement and keep our fingers crossed for a multi-year renewal!
    • They haven't explained the ownership of the Bistro, but Doug told Holly the other day he didn't get the job there. Basically Roman just hired Doug on the spot and gave him a room.  It was really nice of Roman.  I don't know if he knows who Doug is or that he stole Julie's necklace.  That was unclear-at least to me. ETA-I feel like the Bistro might just die and people will just pretend to order food there like Leo did today.  Sophia is on bed rest so no one works there anymore.  They can use that set for something else.
