[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 393911, member: 673"] It’s interesting that NBC even bothered to try a spinoff at that time. On paper it sounds OK - a spinoff of an existing soap, starring one of its biggest stars that taps into the current [I]Dallas[/I] popularity. However, ratings wise it doesn’t make sense. All of NBC’s soaps were in the bottom half of the ratings pack at that time. The year [I]Texas[/I] launched, [I]Another World[/I] rated 10th of the 13 soaps on air that year. So even if it was going to carry over some viewers from [I]AW[/I] as its lead in, the ratings were never going to be huge. [/QUOTE]
