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.

[alwaysAMC]

LMAO - Wow those ABC soaps just have some major shitty ratings.

GH never hit a 2.5?

AMC never hit a 2.4?

They both have their lowest ratings in history...this is sad, but pretty much expected, as they are pissing off all their fans with the writing.

Hopefully this will clue in Frons and everyone else so something major happens.

Nice to see the ATWT ratings held steady - the Slasher stuff was good for them.

[Ryan]

Hell yeah ABC!!! Keep on airing the trash you've been airing. Keep those ratings falling. Oh yeah, let's go! You can do it Frons, Guza, Hackley, McTravesty, JFP, Valentini. Keep it going and soon Passions will be higher than your ratings!!

As an lifelong (all my 19 years) ABC fan, I should be ashamed for wishing more bad ratings. But I'm not. I am disgusted and hope that the ratings fall even further. I hope GL and Passions get higher ratings and that all of the ABC soaps own the bottom 3 spots on the charts. Maybe then, and ONLY then will [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] change.

As far as the other are concerned, GO DAYS!!! You guys are on a creative upswing and when you've been as low as JER could take you, there's only room to go up. Keep up the good work.

[Toadstool]

I right there with you so we can share the shame... or not. I'm actually disappointed ABC's aren't lower; they deserve it for the [!@#$%^&*] they've been shovelling us. The shame is theirs.

[Cheap21]

As an ABC fan and mainly an AMC one, I never want to see them this low. It is a shame and an embarassment but at the same time they deserve it bc the shows are that terrible. Why isnt anyone doing anything about it? I can barely stand to watch what I once called my favorite show.

[ZaraB]

You are hardly alone. I'm only disappointed OLTLs weren't lower, so that at least Higley (and Valentini) would be fired. As it is, they are only average for ABC.

[wiccachick_1]

Have I mentioned lately how much AMC sucks??? hehe...

Oh, I didn't have to. The rating are saying it for me! Sucks for those actors that are pouring their heart and soul into a show that is being written down the toilet!

[King]

I never thought I'd see the day where mighty GH has fallen. But it has. Officially, for me. And I'm glad.

I am disappointed in DAYS' numbers, but at least they didn't fall, which, I guess, is good news these days.

[Toups]

Damn, I thought for sure DAYS would go up for the wedding. Weddings *always* go up. We'll see if Total Viewers went up or not.

And ABC soaps hitting lows again, it's a GOOD SIGN that this is happening. Things are happening backstage at ABC daytime. It's only a matter of time better Frons makes his move and makes things official.

[Pine Charles]

Wow. Those AMC numbers are simply shocking. Everything on the screen is so interesting and fresh. I thought the Sweet 16 party was really going to bring in the viewers. I'm perplexed.

[Manny]

Wasn't DAYS 2,7 last week?

[Toups]

DAYS fell -.1 in HH, Mike.
