Random Article Summary #69

This article provides the daytime television schedule for the three major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States for the 1983-84 season. It includes both weekday and weekend programming from September 1983 to August 1984. The legend explains the color-coding system used in the schedule. Each color represents a different genre of programming, such as talk shows, soap operas, game shows, news/public affairs, sports, local programming, children's programming, and reruns. New series are highlighted in bold. The schedule is based on U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time, but some programs may be shown at different times in the Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian time zones. Local affiliates have the option to change or delay network programs, usually for breaking news or weather coverage or major sports events. Stations may also choose to show programs at different times. During the 1984 Summer Olympics, regular programming on ABC was replaced with shortened versions of All My Children, One Life to Live, and General Hospital. In February 1984, a test week of The New Newlywed Game aired on ABC to see if a daytime version of the show could work, with Jim Lange as the host. The series later returned in syndication with Bob Eubanks as the host. 'In the News' aired on CBS' Saturday morning shows, while 'One to Grow On' aired after the credits of NBC's shows, except for a few exceptions.
