When AW was canceled, it was announced on April 12, 1999 & the last work day was end of May 1999 & the last air date was June 25, 1999. These were the ratings at the bottom. Through a special agreement between NBC and BEACH they got a 6 month extension even though they had a lower rating. (And NBC half-owned them.) Their last air date was 12-31-99. (I use BEACH for Sunset Beach since I use SB for Santa Barbara.) 

#9 AW 2.4

#10 PC 2.2

#11 BEACH 1.7

After the pre-emption hiatus PSSN debuted with a 1.9. 

Does anyone know any demos for AW April '99 or for PSSN at their debut (July something '99) or any of the few early weeks? Thanks for anything!

ANOTHER WORLD PRIME TIME SPECIAL, JUNE 1992 DEMOS:

Recently started work on the rest of 1992. Won't be ready to post for a bit, but I noticed this AW primetime special, so here are the demos. Audience dropped some in the second half hour. First half hour got a 6.3.  Last half hour got a 5.9.

Not just an episode of Baby Talk. A REPEAT of Baby Talk. Beat AW by 2.1 points.

Since the Nielsen books don't do the rankings, you have to refer to a chart for a quick check of the overall ranking. Here's the Broadcasting chart for that week. AW came in 78th place. The Daytime Emmys, which followed AW, actually came in # 1 for the week.

The only thing that I still remember about GL's primetime anniversary special is when several of the show's actresses sat around and talked for an entire segment about all the "hot" men who were on the show at that time.  Like, seriously, ladies, take some cold showers, lol.

AW's primetime special was like most ads that NBCD's marketing department would make for GENERATIONS: they gave the uninitiated a show that was far more racy than what it really was.

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.  
    • What else? #May4th

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
