Members All My Shadows Posted September 6, 2019 Members Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Interesting list. That 22-year run for the big 4 CBS soaps is legendary for kids like me who grew up in the 90s. I think the 1975-1983 ABC lineup had some slight changes by virtue of expansions from 30 minutes to 45 minutes and then to an hour, plus AMC aired a half-hour earlier for RH's first year and a half on the air before moving back to its traditional timeslot and then going to the hour a few months later.
