I went ahead and researched all of the Days preemption reasons, with the exact timings. Luckily, most of the OJ preemptions were actually rated, so we have the exact timings for all of those now (at least for NBC). For some reason, NBC only did not rate the 1/26/95 OJ trial (by process of elimination, since we had Trial 4 & Trial 6, I titled it Trial 5). The only other unrated item was the 3/3/95 Presidential Press Conference (but the last 10 minutes of analysis was rated). As already stated on my website, East & Central time zone stations had local fill for Days on 5/30/94 and 11/23/95 for sports events which aired at 1PM PT.

As with all shows, looks like perhaps GH may have had national preemptions due to two short episodes (27 minutes on 11/9/94 and 18 minutes on 4/21/95, so if there are any GH fans who know, was that the case?)

I checked CBS preemptions for the first time, and they rated everything in the GL time slot except for 3-305PM on 1/25/95 (most likely the end of an unrated OJ special report)

UPDATE: City, Days, GH & GL all now have full preemption data listed for 1994-1995.

Thank you!

 

Well, this explains why there are so many GL January 1995 episodes floating around with inconsistent dates. I haven't found any recaps for that month either so that will be tricky to reconcile. I've got to imagine that 1/30/95 is counting as a full preemption and was reaired the next day.

 

According to Usenet, the Y&R special that aired 1/23/95 was Danny and Cricket's wedding from 1990, but some users got that on 1/24. The new episode of Y&R for 1/23/95 was preempted.

1/30/95 it aired for 59 minutes (in 95 percent of the country). Why do you think it was a full preemption?

It was preempted 3 times in January 1995:

1/2/95 Carquest Auto Parts Bowl (130-503PM)
1/23/95 Y&R Classics (3-4PM)
1/25/95 Unrated special report (3-305PM) & CBS Soapbreak (305-330PM) & Bold and the Beautiful (330-4PM)
 
Two partial preemptions:
1/24/95 from 3-306PM (then aired the rest to 83 percent of the country)
1/30/95 from 3-301PM (then aired the rest to 95 percent of the country)
 
So if you "need" an extra preemption to make airdates fit, it looks like the more likely date would be 1/24/95, since 17 percent of the country didn't get the episode.

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
