Will be interesting to see how the soaps did last week without GL on the air.

Will the ratings come out today?

[Toups]

Got the ratings....great week for Y&R......might be able to do the ratings this evening.

[Ann_SS]

I knew Y&R would rebound. Fluctuations are to be expected. I am looking forward to see how GH's demos are doing.

[Ky_D]

I hope Days increased!

Toups, can you at least share how Days did? I'm hoping they stayed the same or increased.

[MoTheGreat]

I was hoping for bad ratings for Y&R. & good ratings for B&B.

[Jonathan]

Toups is such a tease.

[CarlD2]

A ratings boost for Y&R means more slaughter on the way

We have to accept that these stunts bring in viewers.

Yup, if they do for GH then Y&R is possible as well or any other soap for that matter.

[CarlD2]

I accepted it a long time ago, but it still saddens me. This is the type of idea that slaughtered the entire Quartermaine family and Georgie, among many others, on GH. Now it's all over Y&R. And it's not even done well. It's just month after month of sheer crap, punctuated by violence and death. And oddly enough this is happening at a time when GH is, at least briefly, moving away from that.

Look where those stunts got GH in the ratings.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Y&R is such a dissppointment, it saddens me that their shock driven and stunt driven crap gave them a ratings boost.

But anyway, these stunts have very little long-term value, so I expect a massive falling soon.

At least this rise didn't occur during a sweeps month, you know, when it actually matters.

I've never understood the point of these stunts. The shows that use them religiously get a bump in the ratings for a week or two, then their ratings fall back to the same pre-stunt levels, if that. If these kind of things were well thought out, the writers would have enough compelling story to hold new and lapsed viewers, but they never do. It's all for nothing really, and the shows wind up harming themselves by destroying core families, or characters which trace their history back to core families. I'm also concerned that soaps now see death, and the emotional fallout by the hospital bedside or funeral as a way to snag an Emmy. Y&R did it with Cassie's death, then John's death. B&B did it will Storm's suicide. It's almost become a formula. I hope it's not a trend but it sure seems to be.

[LilKatie24]

I wonder how CBS did without GL actually I want to see the ratings for the gameshow in its place.

[CarlD2]

LMAD hasn't started yet.

[CouchTomato]

If it's not too difficult to find out, could someone please post the numbers for the game show that replaced GL? I'm curious to see its results from all the markets and different time slots that GL had to put up with. Did the # of markets increase for the game show after GL ended? Did the time slots become uniform across the country now that it was no longer GL? IOW, how much was the replacement for GL helped by the network/affiliates so it would hopefully do better than GL right away and did that help produce a good result? Thanks.
