Members Franko Posted December 9, 2023 Members Share Posted December 9, 2023 Why does this remind me of those scenes in Coal Miner's Daughter where Loretta and Doo embark on a tour of various country music stations, getting DJs to play her demo and giving impromptu interviews? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 9, 2023 Members Share Posted December 9, 2023 I have to hand it to her: she did all she could to protect her financial investment in that show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Franko Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 Four months into 1991-1992, and so far, Santa Barbara doesn't seem to have a clearances issue. We'll have to see if one develops through 1992. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 Interesting to see Days have such fluctuations in the ratings. Most of the other soaps seem to range within a few points for the most part...almost like keeping homeostasis but gradually trending down over long periods of time. However, Days is just all over the place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 I though the new syndicated talk shows of Fall 1991 would have an impact on Santa Barbara. The next big syndicated talk show debut that I can think of would be Ricki Lake in Fall 1993. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 B&B December 11, 1991 Joanna Johnson return. The YT channel has this episode as September 25. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 Which pretty much describes the writing at that point, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 There was also Vicki Lawrence's show, which premiered in fall 1992 and was gone by 1994 due to production drama. Whether or not it actually happened, I vaguely remember Vicki and Ricki airing back to back on (the NBC station?) when I was a boy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beebs Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 The beginning of 1992 will see AMC explode in the ratings. I guess everyone tuned in during the holidays and got hooked back onto the show, as the ratings stayed way up into 1994. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 I don't think the show was ever the same after Janet dumped Natalie down the well. The ratings were back up, but, IMO, Megan McTavish's work was so gimmicky and not at all in keeping with the show's best years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beebs Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 Beyond gimmicky, it was MEAN. The energy in a lot of scenes and confrontations just had such nasty energy to them, I've felt a visceral discomfort watching them. For example, Erica and Travis fighting over Bianca made me particularly uncomfortable. I can understand the need to show how divorce can bring out the ugly monsters in people, but it honestly just made me feel like neither of these unhinged people deserve this child, instead of feeling pathos for anybody involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kalbir Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Guiding Light this week Alexandra learns she gave birth to twins. Y&R January 15, 1992 Nathan Purdee last episode. Guiding Light this week Alan-Michael and Eleni get married. Y&R January 23, 1992 Rex and Katherine remarry and Jill attempts to remarry John. I take it you weren't a fan of B&B? We are now less than a year away from James Reilly arrival. Lets see how the 1992 ratings go before it can be said that James Reilly cannot get there fast enough.

Members TEdgeofNight Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 Disagree. JFP took credit for HER work, not Robert Calhoun's. The best was yet to come. The blackout week was brilliant and had nothing to do with Calhoun. Calhoun's ratings speak for itself. Not that great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
