That is true though.

The preemptions and interruptions have been out of control, especially in these last few years. Plus, a lot of them were just for pointless crap anyway that could have waited.

Reading through Jason47's preemptions, I was surprised by how many times Days wasn't preempted for news stories in like the 60s and 70s. You would think that in the decades where there were only 3 channels, there would have been more preemptions than there are now, when there are countless channels, streaming sites, etc.

You know what? I was watching DAYS on Peacock yesterday and I was skimming through what they had. Of course, nothing appealed to me, but I was trying to be open-minded for the most part, lol! I guess what I didn't understand was that you had to pay premium in order to watch a football game, and yet, I could easily watch the football game live on NBC 5. Oh, you can watch the football game anytime you want, right? I keep forgetting I have a DVR that I don't use. Sheesh. The things I keep forgetting.

Now here's a topic upon which we can agree.  I signed up for Peacock earlier in the week and have yet to open the app again, because I forget it is an option.  And, I tend to either browse the web or watch YouTube, because i want a more passive experience when I am watching TV

Anyone who has Amazon prime for shipping, but don’t use it for programming counts as a streaming subscriber…and one person may have Appletv on their devices only but not on their tv so the family can’t watch. In multigenerational households who knows if the soap fan controls these subscriptions.

Jason47's full list of all DAYS preemptions since 1965:
https://www.jason47.com/days/preemptions.html

It used to be that NBC would consider an entire episode preempted due to news ... if a certain percentage of the episode didn't air in the main east coast timeslot (which usually starts at 1pm for most of the east coast, even though NYC and a few other cites start at noon) and/or Central Timezone slot. (or something like that).  Basically if a certain percentage of an individual episode didn't air in most of the major markets ... it would be ruled as officially preempted.

If they called the episode as officially preempted, then it would air in full on the next weekday airdate and all subsequent episodes would be pushed to their next airdates.

But DAYS hasn't done that since April 2013.

Since May 2013, NBC has officially preempted DAYS *only* for the following:  planned sports coverage (including dog shows), and presidential inaugurations.  And that is all. Since May 2013, if an episode was partially or fully interrupted, you'd have to watch online or ask a friend what you missed.

---

In contrast, Y&R still does that rule -- if more than half of an episode doesn't air in the major USA markets, then they consider the entire episode officially preempted and it airs in full the next day.

SID e-mail indicated they would pre-empt nationally because of the death of Queen Elizabeth II & that the episode would be shown in its entirety the next viewing day.

Have you seen the 10 minute montage a fan & a tweeter did? It's what NBC should have done.

I tried watching the final episode for history's sake. Caught the pre-empted parts online. Excuse me but that was trash. Pathetic as a regular episode; disgraceful as the final episode. 57 years and those are the characters they end it on?  Wow. They couldn't even do something as small as insert a picture of Tom and Alice at the end that said something like "thank you"? Again, truly disgraceful.

Did you ever use it? Was there some time when you couldn't watch something live & you did use it & now that's just not the case any more? Do you ever watch something a second time? What movie or show have you watched the most times? Pardon the brief interrogation. I'm just interested. Why do you have it?

I think I still have a DVR. I'm pretty sure I know what closet it is in, covered up with other stuff! I have no idea if it still works, so clearly I do not use one & haven't for some time. But, there was a time when I used one daily.

I used it for Days of our Lives, CBS This Morning, The View, and Stephen Colbert. The reception for my local CBS affiliate can be a little wonky and I have a really cute Mohu Arc indoor digital antennas that goes well with my interior decorating. Long story short, I did some remodeling and I put the tuner away. At that time, I had Sling TV too, but I only used that to watch Morning Joe (that was and is my morning ritual as I love Mika and Willie). During Covid-19, while we were all held captive into captivity inside our homes, I've found easier (and free) ways to watch cable news as well as other programs on different streaming apps. After this discovery, I had forgotten all about the tuner as it was stored near my shoe closets. Have I watched recorded shows twice? I have with Stephen Colbert and The View. I also have with the Grammys and Golden Globes, but for the most part, I have my own music, movie, and television library. As far as the tuner, one thing I never knew is that I can watch recorded shows on-the-go. That's a nice little perk while commuting downtown or watch in the office I suppose. Now that I have my DVR hooked up, it's all about the digital antenna at this point. But, it needs to look cute and positioned perfectly.

Oh, God. Listen to me. I sound like some big fat slug who watches television 24/7 with a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. With grease stains all over my upholstery.

To get off the subject and back to DAYS, I wasn't that surprised that they didn't do something small or big for Friday's (9/9) episode. Perhaps they thought another marriage proposal (for a couple who barely know each other) and an intimate kiss between a mother and a kid (who's prefrontal cortex isn't fully developed) was clearly enough to get long-time viewers subscribed to Peacock.

      That'a an interesting comparison, and might be a parallel.  But i also know too little about sports  to really comment on it's accuracy.  It might have something to do with a "closed" system, and the consuming nature of producing or writing a daytime drama and coaching.  Both in football and daytime, those factors make it hard for new talent to break into the system.  And even a very talented coach or daytime writer or executive producer can only do one team (or one show) at a time, limiting that person's impact on the entire system.

      Despite most of John’s family not being in this episode, I like that the ripple effects of his death are still being felt across Salem.  Welcome back, Jack and Jennifer!  I really enjoyed their scenes with Julie. Little family moments like that on soaps are always a good thing. And I agree, Julie. As great as it is to see everybody, I wish it was for a better occasion too.  I’m glad that we finally got Tate’s POV regarding John, though his scene with Cat did seem a little random. But I love that Holly rushed to the apartment to comfort him after she found out about John. Despite everything and despite the chemistry that they have with other characters, I like the two of them together. Btw, is Cat looking so closely at the pictures of John and Sami going to mean something in the future? Her date with Chad seemed a little unnecessary though.  I also do like the idea of Ari and Holly being friends, mostly because of the mess that it could lead to with Doug III. Tying that mess together with Tate, Sophia, the baby and the guy stalking Doug III could all be pretty good. And yeah, we really should’ve seen Ari talking to Will about John. Hopefully, they have scenes together coming up. And also, Doug III still needs someone much better to confide in about his problems  Speaking of that someone, we’re really lucky that Ron was sent packing before John’s death was written because y’all know that if Ron was writing it, Leo would’ve been front and center in all of this, and comforting his “bestie” Marlena

      His scenes with Jack were unnecessary too. Honestly, Jack should be beating the holy hell out of him for what he did to Gwen.  And, I’m really interested in the mystery of who Gabi heard EJ arguing with the night he was shot. I don’t think it was Johnny.

      Remember when we used to talk about homoerotic subtext on GH? Like this Bromance? Sonny & Jason! I remain somewhat amazed that ABC used it as a promo https://www.instagram.com/p/DH3fKzjJyy4/

      To be honest, moving Murder, She Wrote to Thursdays probably did seem like a good attempt at counterprogramming (they did the same thing with some success with Diagnosis: Murder the next season). They had hoped it would appeal to a different audience to the Friends juggernaut and wouldn't crash in the way it did. They also programmed Mary Tyler Moore's new show after it, so they clearly went with a "vibe" for the evening. With that said, I think MSW just have that end of the weekend vibe. Something you'd cosy up on Sunday evening while preparing for a new dreaded week.

      I recall someone suggesting that football coaches have the same kind of situation where people who are clearly NOT good at the job get rehired over & over. I don't begin to know enough about that sport to evaluate this as a truth or not. But, I do hate how much damage it has accounted for in soaps.

      She had two Hannah Swensen movies and a Christmas movie released since this was recorded in September (?). So yeah, I'd assume Alison was just booked and busy when these episodes were recorded sadly.

      But why is everybody telling the attempted murderer that they have evidence of her attempting to murder someone lol is Leslie gonna target Andre or Shanice now?  I did kinda feel bad for Hayley though. It makes me think something may happen as a result of her realizing that Dani is always going to be a part of her and Bill’s lives
