[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 416243, member: 27"] Those are the only ones I recall, as well. Some soaps like [I]Port Charles[/I], [I]The City[/I] and especially [I]Texas[/I] were spin-offs that got ample setting-up opportunities on their parent shows. When [I]The Edge of Night[/I] transitioned from CBS to ABC in 1975, ABC wisely produced a 90-minute episode that introduced all the characters to its new ABC audience. Rather than air it in primetime they just pre-empted one of their regular daytime shows to accommodate a triple-sized EON episode. However, when [I]Search for Tomorrow[/I] went from CBS to NBC, they only got a separate ad campaign to herald their arrival--no expanded episode or anything. [/QUOTE]
