How much does this suck!?!? DAYS fell!!! And they are sooo good!!

[winterguy125]

I guess this should tell JP of ATWT to keep the storylines interesting after a major storyline, maybe next time we would not fall .2. I must say the last two weeks have been worthy of a fall, seeing as most days in has been boring and repeitive, but that all changes next week so hopefully that will push the ratings back up again.

[Manny]

Oh, btw.. wouldn't 2,4; 2,4; 2,3; 2,3; 2,3 make AMC have 2,3 average?

[winterguy125]

That's what I was thinking also

[RogerNewcomb]

I agree about ATWT. The show has a big climax and then nothing, nada. The pacing is all wrong. Now they wait until the next big stunt to happen.

[Ghillie]

No dailies for B&B? Were they that bad???? One can hope.

[PhoenixRising05]

I knew they would go down. Days was good last week but it was nothing HUGE like this week. Plus, you had Steve/Billie which I liked but we all know Steve/Kayla fans may have gotten ticked. I am just happy Days somehow managed to stay in 3rd by virtue of everyone else falling. I hope the demos and such are better. I am upset that Friday's Days got a 2.4 as it was amazing and that Tuesday did too. All summer Days had solid dailies and this month they have fallen off. I know Days benefits alot from summer and that September hasn't always been a good month for them numbers-wise, at least I think that is the case, but they are so good right now they don't deserve this. They will rebound though and once Hogan starts this will be a memory so at least they have 3rd place and are in a good position.

These numbers suck for everyone. I knew ATWT would go down as they were boring last week with the slasher story over. ABC stinks so they are where they belong except GH has no business being tied with ATWT and Days because they aren't even at that level.

[Mitchapalooza]

Shouldn't AMC be at a 2.3?

Shitty numbers for DAYS and for ALL the soaps.

DAYS truly does not deserve a 2.5, the show has been the best it has been in years!

As for ATWT falling, totally predicted that...good thing most shows fell otherwise it would have been a mess this week in the ratings for all the soaps.

[Gray Bunny]

Yucky pooey numbers. DAYS deserves better (damn, it feels so good to be able to say that again!). Even GL should've earned another tenth.

[bellcurve]

Wonder how much ABC had to pay Nielsen Media Research? LOL.

[whyamcwhy]

Yeah, I am confused on how AMC could have a 2.4 when they should be the lowest out of all the ABC soaps. I think that it should be a 2.3 or are the ratings calculated differently?

[Ponz]

I agree DAYS deserves better. The show is miles better than it was in the first 6 months of the year. It just seems like the ratings are stuck in a very narrow range which is difficult to break out of at the moment. Hopefully, next week gets a nice boost with J&J's farewell, the paternity reveal and Lucas catching Carrie/Austin together. Those are all big events that should get spikes.

[Darcy]

The daily numbers are rounded. IOW, they could have gotten a 2.34, 2.34, 2.34, 2.44 and 2.44 for a total of 11.9 which when you divide by 5 is 2.38 which rounds to 2.4. This has happened several times in the past with many of the soaps and that is how it was explained.
