You are beyond amazing!!

4/19/93 seems a little questionable. I wonder if this is one of those rare cases that they preempted an entire show and just showed the next day's episode instead. Based on other sources it seems like a show did air that day?

Yeah it’s a little confusing

 I’m just gonna go with this being one of those extremely rare cases they decided to skip an episode and just move on to the next one. If that’s the case the official B&B channel that has every episode so far up to 1995, this would be an extremely rare and new episode never seen before for 4/19/93. It seems like nothing is missing based on the episode #s and airings for B&B 1993.

Per a script online, 1575 taped 6/14/93 and aired 7/1/93. So, that's a good starting point. Count how many possible airdates there are for BB since its premiere in 3/23/87, and that will confirm how many preemptions there were of BB as of June 1993.

So 260 episodes per year would bring you to 1560 episodes as of around 3/19/93,  and then another 69 episodes as of 7/1/93 would make it 1629 possible airdates, and 1575 airing that day would mean there were 54 preemptions total as of then??

Not overstepping at all. It's fun!  I figured these out for Days many years ago, so it's nice to help with another soap. Checking the Nielsen BB preemptions for what's available so far (excluding July 1989-December 1991), I have the list at 40 preemptions as of July 1993. So there has to be 14 more preemptions between July 1989-December 1991 to get the list to 54 preemptions as of July 1993.

If you have another list you are working off of, what preemptions do you have listed for July 1989-December 1991??

Thanks for this! Also, thank you for separating out the preemptions and special airings for each show - it's so much easier to read!

B&B's preemptions have always been a bigger mystery than Y&R's. I'm working off a spreadsheet that someone else sent me a while ago and revising it. The numbers for 1993 were just not adding up since it had 1994 starting at #1704. Taking that 7/1/93 script date, even accounting for an extra preemption, was ending up 5 episodes off. So I decided to restart from the beginning with 1987... and so far, have discovered that year ends at #187, not 188 as previously thought. I think the person who made the spreadsheet had some wrong dates for Iran-Contra, but the overall number of preemptions right, but then that 12/8/87 preemption no one knew about threw everything off! I won't get up to 1993 tonight, but will continue to delve into this!
