Guza does know his stunts. All the stuff about children and parents seems to be catching on (far more than Franco stuff, which was IMO most interesting when we only knew of the graffiti.) I like Dante and Lulu and agree with those who say it is Dante as well as Sonny who is making the story. I also really like JJ as Lucky.

That is really an interesting chart. It looks like the ratings were stable from about mid-2004 until 2007.

It's kind of sad to see how CNN has fallen. They were the first. But they also deserve it. Fox - well they have the more colorful personalities on the air. That IMO has alot to do with their success, like them or not.

NBC Universal has one light and that's USA. I am actually surprised to see them doing so much better than TNT but then I think TNT has had a bunch of original programming of recent that hasn't done well. USA's original programming added with reruns of NCIS, L&O SVU, and House during PT along with their original programming seems to have caught fire. Maybe NBC the network will catch some of the luck and success USA has had.

The CW no clue. More reality shows? And Soapnet? The soaps rebroadcasting must be very inexpensive.

I agree with you on Fox. If you look at it as entertainment, it is pretty interesting. Fox does have more colorful personalities. If I look at it as news, it makes my hair curl. CNN does deserve it. It has become lazy. I admit that I am a news junkie. I once loved reading Sunday newspaper. I guess newspapers and daytime soaps have a lot in common.

USA does have some shows that I enjoy. I really like Burn Notice. Like you, I surprised USA is doing so much better than TNT. TNT has some good original programming IMO, but also some stinkers. You are probably right about soapnet. It probably is pretty inexpensive. I do wonder what it will do two or three years from now when there are fewer soaps to rebroadcast.

Speaking of cable channel rankings....here is a listing of the winners and losers for 2009 from The Hollywood Reporter:

That is very interesting. I read all of the comments about cable news networks. And while Fox is growing with its obvious one-sided appeal to the very conservative, network news blows away all of the cable news channels. Even CBS, which is by far the least watched of the network newscasts averages more than six million viewers per night which is about 3 times Fox. Judging by the ads, I suspect network news is skewing pretty old.

You know, Fox news for example averages 2.2 million viewers during its peak. OLTL, which could be on the verge of cancellation, averages the same.

In regular programming USA averages 3 million viewers, less than Y&R. Of course, everything on the networks is on a negative trend line and everything on cable is a positive trend.

I have to agree with an earlier poster. I do not know how CW, soapnet, ect. stay in business. Nobody watches those cable networks.

I think come February, RC's detractors will be singing a different tune, if any, whenever a stunt he does pays off. Just sayin.

I guess it is possible the RC's detractors (e.g. me) will be singing a different tune. Or perhaps his apologists ( e.g. MichaelGL) will be singing a different tune. Or perhaps, and I think more than likely, February will not change anyone's opinions about the "quality" of RC's work, and the show will continue along its merry or dismal (reader's preference) path.
