Did the complete numbers and demos ever come for last week's ratings post? Did ABC release a statement?

[sheilaforever]

No statement I know of. I guess Toups will add last week's ratings (in the ratings archive) as soon as he gets the new rating's info for this week. At least that happened in the past...

[BadAddiction]

ABC released its report late Thursday (9/21/06) evening.

Thanks all. I love the spin. One uses Live and another Live Plus.

Thanks Lskreet, going to go and post on the abc board. You rock.

[allatwitter]

[sarcasm] I'm shocked the combination of boxing and McDud's death didn't bring the viewers back in droves to OLTL [/sarcasm]

Thanks Lskreet

[Manny]

I thought Jack/Jen leaving and Shawn finding out about Claire would definitely raise DAYS ratings, but nothing...

I guess there are no rules today when it comes to raising ratings...

[Ponz]

Christ...what more does DAYS have to do to get the numbers up? There were 3 different stories that reached climaxes last week plus good Bo & Hope scenes.

[SarahJoyBrownFF]

Spinning OLTL's 2.5 for Monday and Friday

Monday the beginning of Todd/Evangeline

Friday the ending of John in the kiddie pool

Lk, thanks for posting........

[alwaysAMC]

Wow - so there are 4 shows at #3. That hasn't happened in awhile - but what is sad is the rating of 2.5 for the #3 spot!

GH still didn't do well in dailies - that 2.7 helped them out...else else it'd be sitting at #6.

I'm surprised AMC did that well - since the week before was better than this week...oh well.

[Manny]

I know, Ponz! I can't tell you how dissapointed I am that DAYS didn't go up...

Maybe it was the lack of promotion? Did they promote Jack/Jen exit and Claire reveal?
