there is a reason I liked $ale. If I tuned in and heard Jay Stewart(or later on Don Morrow) say a champion had the chance to win $50,000 that was a big deal to me back then I was too young to remember Scrabble ever straddling but I do remember them doing it from watching USA reruns

Regarding the soaps, a good number of them had the backing of Procter & Gamble, which kept them on the air for as long as P&G wanted them on.

I'm sure they wanted Another World and The Edge of Night not to get shitcanned.
