@YRfan23 February 19, 1990 was President's Day and CBS broadcast a regular season NBA game that afternoon.

Thanks, it seems Y&R aired, but B&B didn't that day

It's so much fun, and we've gotten so much from your research we never thought we would get  

I'm kind of going off on memory, but for Y&R and B&B these should be what days on preempted from July 89-December 91  I'd love to see if you agree.

9/3/90 US Open
9/7/90 U.S Open
11/22/90 Thanksgiving
11/23/90 
12/25/90 Christmas 

1/1/91 New Years

3/15/91 March Madness
9/2/91 U.S Open
9/6/91 U.S Open
10/11/91 Clarence Thomas verdict
11/28/91 Thanksgiving

That would be 24 preemptions when I thought we'd be looking for 14 preemptions. So perhaps I was two weeks off in my count? I only did a quick math problem yesterday, but if someone wants to check the actual calendars from 3/23/87 to 7/1/93. How many weeks is that in total, and then you multiply by 5 for the total possible number of episodes to air. If I was off by 2 weeks, and it's 24 (not 14) expected preemptions, then that looks to be the correct math.

If I was off by 2 weeks, and it's 24 (not 14) expected preemptions, then that looks to be the correct math.

I just did bad math elsewhere I guess, but I found this website today where you just put in two dates and get how many weeks are between them, so that's a cool site for helping confirm preemptions. But I did have the 1640 correct (328 weeks x 5) = 1640 possible episodes to air between 3/23/87 to 7/2/93. And, from the script, we know 1575 aired on 7/1/93, meaning 1576 aired on 7/2/93.  So 1640 - 1576 = 64.  That confirms BB had a total of 64 preemptions as of 7/2/93. The 40 I have listed from the Nielsen books, plus the 24 listed earlier today (which will eventually be confirmed when I type up the rest of 1989-1991). So it looks like BB fans now have a complete (and correct) list of all BB preemptions for 1987-1995 (I'll be adding in 1996 soon).  It also means any "partial" preemptions from March 1987-June 1993 were just that (none triggered a full preemption and re-air the next day).

So, using those 64 preemption dates, BB fans can now list the correct airdates and episode #s from at least # 1 through # 1575.
