Can you tell me the address or name of the web site? I'd love to see an episode. It has fond memories for me. I used to watch it in the early seventies while expecting my son.

This is the show where I first saw Mr. Mitchell as Professor Hathaway with Diana Van Der Vlis & Louise Shaffer as his sisters Kate & Allison, respectively. They both would appear a few years later on <i>Ryan's Hope</i> as Dr. Nell Beaulac/Dr. Sherry Rowan & Rae Woodard, respectively. Thanks For This Wonderful Information, Roger. These years take me back to my high school soap-viewing days! :)Greeneb2https://www.blogger.com/profile/16466719799496320519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-15405652644805267992010-01-24T16:11:23.990-05:002010-01-24T16:11:23.990-05:00The late 1973 CBS daytime schedule was as follows:...The late 1973 CBS daytime schedule was as follows:<br /> (this would be 3 - 6 months after WTHI and LIAMST were cancelled and Y&R started.)<br /> 11:30 Love of Life<br /> 11:55am CBS Midday News<br /> 12:00 Noon Y&R<br /> 12:30pm Search for Tomorrow<br /> 1:00pm Local affiliates<br /> 1:30pm ATWT<br /> 2:00pm GL<br /> 2:30pm EON<br /> 3:00pm The Price is Right<br /> 3:30pm Match Game '73<br /> (apparently, Match Game's premiere as delayed, according to what I read because of the televised Watergate hearings)<br /> 4:00pm The Secret Storm<br /> and then, in Feb. 1974, when SS was cancelled, I believe the game show Tattletales took its place.<br /> I'm old, but I still have a memory.Old and Curioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496735912822900799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-23803875013189702602010-01-24T15:59:17.061-05:002010-01-24T15:59:17.061-05:00I will try and answer some of your questions.

Apparently, according to what I have read, in research, back in those days, they would re-use videotape, thereby erasing over previously done episodes. Only a handful of tapes are available for viewing at the Paley Center (formerly known as the Museum of Broadcasting).<br /> WTHI was owned by CBS.<br />In Setpember of 1972, P&G wanted a 'block' of CBS, but did not want to compete with their NBC shows, AW and Somerset. Therefore, the 1:30 - 3:00 line-up consisted of ATWT, GL and Edge. LIAMST was moved from 2pm - 3pm in September 1972.<br /> Both WTHI and LIAMST were cancelled on March 23, 1973. From what I understand, both shows were given only a few weeks' notice.<br /> Y&R replaced WTHI, and to the best of my knowledge, 'The Price is Right' replaced LIAMST in the 3pm timeslot, because, I remember TEON nnouncer saying 'stay tuned for The Price is Right over most of these CBS stations.' <br /> The following year, in February 1974, The Secret Storm was cancelled. I believe it had the 4pm timeslot.<br /> As for LOL. It was at 11:30am, and it was abbreviated to 25 minutes for the 11:55am CBS Midday News with Douglas Edwards.<br /> That's what I remember.Old and Curioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496735912822900799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-1569854678916808362010-01-24T13:27:44.779-05:002010-01-24T13:27:44.779-05:00Does anyone recall who produced "Where The He...Does anyone recall who produced "Where The Heart Is"? Was it a CBS-owned show or some other production company? (My gut is telling me CBS produced it.) Did Y&R take the timeslot for WTHI or LIAMST? Since Y&R was only 30 minutes when it began, it didn't replace both shows. I wonder what CBS put on in its' place? Lastly, Old and Curious mentioned that WTHI was a 25-minute show due to CBS midday news (ah, newsbreaks--for those good ol' days when they didn't have to have hours upon hours of news on all day long!) would that have meant Love of Life was moved out of its' midday slot? Wasn't LoL on at 11:30AM for 25 minutes to allow for the midday CBS newsbreak? Somewhere, someone must have a spreadsheet of the CBS schedule year-by-year?<br /><br />Rest in peace, Mr. Mitchell.

His absence from All My Children - although I believe he was still on contract (opening credits)- was noticeable. His whereabouts according to Opal on the show about two weeks ago, was that Palmer was in Switzerland I believe along w/Petey. At least we got to see him for the last time on the 40th Anniversary Special. God Speed Palmer.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17764976158924513612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-62249922612022919022010-01-24T01:38:58.221-05:002010-01-24T01:38:58.221-05:00I have seen one or two on some web sites, but, unf...I have seen one or two on some web sites, but, unfortunately, that's about it. <br /> But, when you think about it, out of that show, we got not only James Mitchell, but also Louise Schaffer, Joseph Mascolo and Delphi Harrington among others.<br /> To me, the show was the like 'The Little Engine That Could.' It was only 25 minutes in length (for 5 minutes for CBS midday news). I really don't think CBS put that much faith in the show. It was cancelled in March of 1973, along with 'Love is A Many Splendored Thing,' as we all know, the show's timeslot was taken over by Y&R.Old and Curioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496735912822900799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-12510283806950726242010-01-23T21:06:08.829-05:002010-01-23T21:06:08.829-05:00What wonderful photos.
