If you're going to copy/paste, please credit. That's all I ask...it's not that hard. I take time to type up these numbers and it takes a while. Also curse to all you mean spirited thieves. I hope you get run over by a truck, but of course I don't wish death on you....a few broken bones will do justice. Curse you!! Thanks.

Numbers are based on Live+Same Day ratings

* Chanel, I edited a little, hope you don't mind - Rug

[GBB]

I'm not going to worry because we're still in transition and so much of what we're hearing from HS sounds great, but Days better be careful. Positions 3-8 are withing breaths of each other.

[Angela]

The Y&R numbers are just FANTASTIC. They were good before, but when was the last time Y&R got a 4.5? wow.

DAYS numbers, eh, not as good as it was for like a 3-4 week period there. Hogan will improve that.


ETA: To answer my own question, 2/21/05 was Y&R's last 4.5! And since March 2004 they've only had a 4.5 or above like 4 times. Impressive they got one in these sufferin'-soap-times.

[Chanel]

Y&R has been climbing the ratings later for months now. Its amazing. Keep this up it might hit a 4.9/5.0, by the end of the year.

And its ok, if you edit the post Rug. No problem. Feel free, to add too.

[dawn9476]

I don't get the ratings for Y&R. The show is an overated mess. I haven't watched in weeks. Phyllis has turned into a pod person. And killing off John before he could find out what a lying !@#$%^&*] is wife is was a huge mistake. The show is overated and unwatchable.

ABC deserves those sorry ass ratings. So does Passions.

Well you said you haven't watched in weeks. The last few weeks have been incredible which is why the ratings are up.

I don't think so. Unless Latham gets her act together very soon, ratings will drop. The numbers were just that high last week because Y&R killed off a dearly beloved character - here quality deserves such ratings. But so far I see no indication which shall keep that many people watching - me included...

[DruRocks]

Wow Y&R is tripled Passions ratings! So John's death did bring in the well deserved ratings. Y&R's best was featured all week long, strong acting and writing. See Y&R cut the reliquary crap and you could see good ratings again!

[RalphOrtiz]

GL got a 2.5 on Tuesday - wow!

[Zendall Fan]

Yay! AMC keeps dropping, and I hope it drops even more with the crapfest we currently have to sit through

[KevC1980]

I like the cosistency of Days ratings..Honestly not much happened last week (besides Bo confronting chelsea about the email and chelsea finding out about Claire)..

I just want Days to hold on to the number 3 spot for a few more weeks till Hogan comes..Because there are major things brewing up at Days that are ratings gainers for sure..

[AbFabGL4ever7]

2.5 on tuesday for GL is great but DK still has to go. Which could be the case, I'm hearing that Josh and Cassie is not going foward and that Cassie may be written out. Maybe CBS/Barbara Bloom has had enough the destruction that DK/EW have brought to the show.

ABCD is in complete downfall and I don't see change in sight.

[irish secra]

Well, I can only speak for myself but I stopped watching AMC because the camera work gives me a headache. I watched it for about 15 minutes on Soap Net last night and I swear all the shaking made me feel sick. I finally tuned it out in disgust and watched Survivor re-runs on the OLN channel.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on Guiding Light you can beat One Life to Live in HH's You can do it!!!!!!!

[KBT]

GL is so close to the #3 spot now! I am not a fan, but IMO GL shouldnt be considered for cancellation if its still competing with every other soap except the top 2 B&B and Y&R. I dont know when the last time GL got a 2.4, but it just impresses me how GL always stays around 2.2 and 2.3 while other soaps are declining.

I would love for GL to jump over an ABC soap and stay there. I think OLTL is in some real trouble with the recent hiring of Michael Easton, while letting go 2 of their best actors on the show. Higley seems like she is trying to ruin a second soap in a span of 3 years.

I am glad DAYS is holding steady, just wish it could somehow get closer to the 3's. Hopefully with Sheffer's material airing soon DAYS will be on an uprise and catch the woeful B&B.

I dont know if PSNS can recover, its been much better lately but know matter what its viewership keeps declining. PSNS was pretty close to going to a 1.4, YIKES!

Y&R is definitely hot at the moment, congrats to getting back in the mid 4's.

GO Days! Frons is probably having a fit. Another big yay for GL. Please, please let it pass an ABC Soap. I don't care which one, I just want ABC to suffer. With that said AMC's ratings make me giddy.
