FLASHBACK: Missing Videotape Aids Slipping Soap 1983

MISSING VIDEOTAPE AIDS SLIPPING 'SOAP'

NEW YORK -- A press agent of the old publicity-stunt school couldn't have planned a better TV promotion.

Last weekend, somebody stole -- or misplaced -- the only two videotapes of Thursday's episode of NBC's bottom-rated soap opera SEARCH FOR TOMORROW.

Police were called in. Rumors flew like New York litter in a March wind. Some said the tapes were simply mislabeled, but lost forever among thousands of tapes at the West 81st Street studio. Others said a disgruntled employe stole them, or was it the scorned boyfriend of a cast member?

Whatever happened, the show would have to go on at 12:30 p.m. EDT, and would be played live for the first time in 14 years. There simply wasn't time to retape.

The news media smelled a good story and descended on the broadcast in a way usually reserved for No. 1-rated GENERAL HOSPITAL on ABC or the Who Shot J.R.? days of CBS's DALLAS.
