[BlueLick]

The soap ratings seem to have been really bad for a few months now and its been embarrassing to look at. I mean they've been bad since the 90s but I mean their hitting new lows every week it seems like. This rating system is so outdated, I don't even take it seriously like I used to until they change it which they never will.

Its only a matter of time as I think before the summer ends that DAYS will become the #2 soap marking a first since the late 80s that the #2 soap isn't B&B.

[JackPeyton]

Days was pre-empted again in a lot of markets for several reasons. I hope they are able to bounce back from the fall last week tho.

[baller]

I know it was kind of mentioned last week, but it looks like AMC and OLTL had yet another quarter and big growths in viewers on SoapNet

[Carolyn1980]

I'm pretty sure AMC was #2 for most of the early 90's, and DAYS for most of the mid-to-late 90's.

ETA: Just checked. B&B has been #2 since 1999, 10 years.

[Angela]

Yep. AMC was the #2 soap from at least 1992 pretty much through the spring of 1995. DAYS took over as a solid #2 by early 1996. Then B&B took over #2 in 1999, though GH particularly has been #2 or tied for #2 on various occasions since. GH tied them in January 2007. For short periods in 2002 and 2004 GH was the #2 soap. DAYS also had a patch in 2002 where they beat out B&B for second place.

[ATWT_GL_fan]

I hope all soaps go up.

[typoprone]

I hope Y&R dips to a new low.

[cara mia]

Why would you hope that? Even if I'm not happy with a soap, I want them all to do well because I don't want the genre to die out. Any victory for any soap is good news, IMO.

[Sylph]

"Victory" also encourages them to write crap.

[typoprone]

Exactly. And a record drop in ratings would signal to everyone that people aren't putting up with the drivel. Mediocrity Shittiness should not be rewarded.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

WORD.

[Jess]

I agree with this.

[DRW50]

I'm afraid with a ratings drop, they would just decide we aren't seeing enough of the quad and random psychos.

I don't want any of the soaps to drop, although I won't be too sad if AMC (which is confusing and run by those who can't tell stories to save their lives, it seems) or GH (which is now all about Sonny's spawn) fall a bit.

[remos]

I don't think any of us should be looking forward to a drop for any show, because there isn't any real difference between most of them and they will sink as a group.

Personally I'd love to get my hands on the Day +7 ratings and see what kind of story that tells. I think we'd all be breathing easier with those numbers.
