Thanks honey and you are missed.

[Cheap21]

Im surprised AMC did so bad on Friday bc it started to get better towards the end of the week. I hope it does well for this week bc the show has actually been good

[upsy_daisy]

Wow, a solid 2.6 all across the board for ATWT, which makes it a clean 3rd place. WTG!

[upsy_daisy]

Deleted because accidental duplicate post.

[juniorz1]

It looks like we'll have a new #8 soap this week (or a tie), but GL's ratings are definitely better than AMC's. OLTL built on AMC's lead every day but Wednesday (where they just held it). WOWZAs to ATWT getting 2.6 across the board- well deserved! Last week was pretty damn good.

[skiman12082004]

What the hell is up with Passions' ratings?? A 1.2 on Thursday???? I really enjoyed the show last week. I'm devastated.

[cal3]

OLTL should be terrified at those ratings. Last week was their HUGE stunt with John's death and they are still at 2.4. What we saw last week is pretty much the basis for the rest of the winter and that doesn't suggest happy times. Especially with the big departures still left.

[ZaraB]

I expected a spike for OLTL for John McBain's death. Instead, it remained relatively flat, maybe a slight increase if those 2.4's were rounded down instead of up. That can't be good news for OLTL, but the worse news for OLTL is that AMC is worse. If any action is even being planned, it's either going to go to GH (because it ALWAYS does) or to AMC (triage to where there is the most bleeding).

Thank you Lskreet!

[Steve]

WTF is it going to take for ABC to announce the new headwriter for AMC? How low do the ratings have to sink?

Imo, people will tune back in to catch up if they know McT's work will stop airing in the near future. As it is now, this show is just going to fall further every week.

I know some people thought this week was better because of the reveal that Tad killed Madden, but even that was a ridiculous plot twist. Tad/Dixie can't keep carrying the whole show. Imo, they're the only part worth watching.

[alwaysAMC]

I'm upset by AMC's ratings - bc Thurs and Friday were awesome and MEK gave an Emmy winning performance on Friday.

Next week's have to be better as the Madden Murderer was revealed.

Congrats to ATWT - the Perfect Storm worked...I liked it.

[Skin]

Wowza to AMC's major decrease!

They lost over 200,000 households and went from a 2.5 (2.46) to a 2.3 (2.26) and slid from 3rd place back to 7th.

I wonder if the Madden reveal will make AMC gain. The 28th and the 29th were the best days out of the week IMO. It seems that since Colby was caught the ratings decreased. There right back where they started when they had Colby's awful sweet 16 party.

[Tzelkos]

Wow I was not expecting that for AMC.

The big culmination of its biggest story and it drops like a brick. It can only get worse from here.

As for the new headwriter, what will it take for people accept it may not be true?

I can see it a year from now, AMC is below Passions, MM is still in place, but have no fear cuz "Burton's comin, any day now".
