I can hardly wait. Only not. <3

[Toups]

Beginning next week, I won't be able to post ratings on Thursday afternoons anymore. Ratings will be posted on Friday afternoons.


As for this week's ratings, very happy for DAYS! The show continues to rock!

[Jonathan]

I'm depressed. So sad for All My Children.

Toups,

Does that mean if ratings are released on Friday (as they certainly will be next week, with the Labor Day holiday), you won't be able to post them until Monday?

Or is it just that you won't be able to post on Thursdays, but you'll post them on Friday whether they're released on Thursday or Friday?

Thanks

GL may be able to beat AMC for their last week on the air.

I'd love to say these aren't ratings/numbers AMC deserves, but I can't. I will say, deserved or not, I hate seeing the numbers so low.

DAYS has their little engine on their, hopefully they can maintain it long enough to get an extension wuth NBC.

[Faulkner]

Wow, the demos are just tragic for AMC. THIS is the show ABC is investing tons of money in?

[Ann_SS]

Nice job by Days. Hopefully, this rebound is the start of an upwards trend.

Ugh, OLTL and AMC. The move cannot come soon enough. These soaps have to become cheaper to produce if they are going to stay on the air. There is a rumor than Frons asked Valenti to cut OLTL's budget by 20%. I am sure that Frons has asked Phelps and Carruthers to do the same. We'll have to see how the budget cuts play out on our screens.

GH is treading water in the 18-49 women demo. ABC must be pleased. I look forward to seeing next weeks' ratings from the carnival stunt.

The one.

[Carolyn1980]

The one.

Thanks!

I don't think I could wait until Mondays, lol.

[marceline]

Once GL is gone, the bottom spot will always be occupied by an ABC soap. AMC and OLTL will switch off with GH occasionally hitting the spot when it hits new lows.

[Soapsuds]

Nice to see ATWT go up in total viewers and at #5 in total viewers. Also good to see a 1.9 and 1.8's for the week. I can't believe I am saying that...LOL...but compared to the 1.7...1.6's and even some 1.5's...it's better. I guess feature more vets gets you higher household numbers..and possible high ratings.

[aMLCproduction]

Good for Days. Haven't watched in a while. Did the Alamian's already make their return?

[CarlD2]

Wow at DAYS! I know they usually go back down after a gain but they are still the comeback story of the year.

I wish OLTL were doing better. I am torn between thinking the ABC soaps, especially those which are not GH (the golden goose for Frons), will never improve in ratings, and thinking OLTL would improve if they finally realized how disgusting the constant canonizing of men like Todd and Rex and the endless Stacy coverage is for some viewers.

Frons will probably say it's because of Kyle and Fish, or because of those icky older people.

Well I'm not sure what excuse he'll come up with for All My Children, because his pets, Kendall and Zach, were on all week.

[Cyberologist]

WoW GH promed super super heavy guess it didn't pay off. B/B took a dive
Go DAYS!!!

Way to go DAYS!

[UKBoi]

THIS is the show that ABC will probably cancel OLTL for next year?! Seriousky?!

Nice to see DAYS rising and the only soap up on last year. I guess when you stop trying to do big, shocking storylines or gimmicky events all of the time and just focus on good, old fashioned soapy storytelling, the viewers will come. And stay.

[Billoltl]

Have you seen ABC's prime-time ratings?? ABC is having a horrible summer. I expect the soaps to tick up once the fall season starts. GMA & World News are down as well. Nightline may be their only program up over last year. Whoopee...

Quick, someone send this to Maria "No Mistakes!" Arena Bell!
