Ratings From the 90's

Basically, Victor Miller said he enjoyed working with MMT, while Wisner Washam said she had a big mouth and that he quit AMC the second time because he couldn't stand her.

By now, most who worked with MMT either are dead or retired, so spilling the tea on her wouldn't jeopardize anything.  Heck, Megan has moved onto breeding dogs for a living, lol.

Weird seeing DAYS' ratings ticking upward during Palumbo's short run, considering how tepid a lot of his stories were. Jack and Jennifer and the con artists are a total mess, while the hunt for John's True Identity of the Week kinda worked (for me anyway), the downplaying of the John/Marlena/Roman/Isabella quad in favour of the focus on the Torres mob family was a bizarre choice. The Alamains seem to just meander during this period, antagonizing everyone with little rhyme or reason to it. I believe the Lombards and Lisanne Gardner are introduced around this time as well. 

How the show was netting actually reasonable numbers around this time is kinda beyond me.

May 1992 was a huge month for both Y&R and B&B. Y&R had the baby switch reveal, Sheila disappearance, Victor collapsing and Jack leaves for Victor dead. B&B had Sheila arrival, Brooke learns she is pregnant, Ridge and Taylor get married.

Guiding Light April 30, 1992 Hamp and Gilly get married and Monti Sharp debut, and May 1, 1992 Roberta Flack guest appearance.

So much jockeying for position.

@JAS0N47 Again, thank you so much for bringing this part of daytime television history to us. You should be knighted

    • Nothing makes sense on this show. I wish there was a garbage can emoji. That sums up 90% of the show right now.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though.
