Members Ilovemydays Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 That you are watching Days watching IS a good thing. As is comparing it to Primetime. Take AMC. I'm so disgusted with AMC that I used to get annoyed with myself if during a Days commercial I took the time to just surf past AMC. I always regretted it . Thank God I've broken myself of the bad habit. Now while watching Days I just patiently sit through the commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 Wow - I'm really UPSET by these ratings. AMC deserves to be higher - I guess no one cared about who killed Greg Madden? The lowest rated day was the best episode where the killer was announced DAYS deserves to be higher - I watched a little that week and it was really good - especially Friday! Having a tie for #3 with a 2.5 rating is just SAD. Poor daytime TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members whyamcwhy Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 Funny, I am surprised that AMC's ratings are that good. The show is in the crapper right now. It just doesn't have enough going for it. The writing is just horrid. Every character has been destroyed on the show. I just can't believe Frons is considering keeping McTavish with a co-headwriter. She has got to go and so does Frons. I really think AMC/ABC is going to have a difficult time regaining their audience. They should have made changes sooner before it got this bad. That "let's wait and see" attitude is just brilliant for daytime (slight sarcasm there). And maybe they should go ahead and wait to see what November brings before they take any action.

Members winterguy125 Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 And to think I thought ATWT was really good last week, though it has been better this week, WoW for DAYS even with the great(not really) Hogan in charge the ratings still fall.

Members dawn9476 Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 The ratings for Passions make me happy. It won't be long before 1.3 becomes their average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 I agree! When will PSNS, NBC, and JER get a CLUE!? It's time for major creative upheaval for this show. It's been on a gradual spiral for about 4 years, but this is ridiculous already. The show is hanging by a feeble thread. As for DAYS, I'm very disappointed! Why was Thursday so low for all the show's? What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 Okay... I am going to cry as promised... This is awful... why are DAYS ratings dropping?!?! I hate this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZaraB Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 It looked like most soaps dropped a bit. It was a holiday weekend, still the numbers aren't all that good. Even as a soap improves, it takes time to regain trust. I am hearing about good individual scenes for OLTL, and ironically, the teen story shows promise -- but I'm more than reluctant, especially after many of Frons' recent quotes. If David and Dorian were hot, what is the long term plan, or isn't there one? Viki may have had one or two scenes -- but come Nov. 30, will she still have scenes, or will it be back to McBainsville? The only hope for change is for the ratings to sink lower than they are for ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darcy Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 I am so disappointed that Tuesday's AMC episode (the 6 person episode) got such a low rating. I thought it was the best show of the week and the acting was excellent, especially MEK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steveo4 Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 Question....when does the official new television ratings season start?? Cause every year around the end of September, doesnt Nielsen up the amount of viewers/households that a ratings point counts for? So if we are in the new season (which we should be, right?), that would mean these low ratings still might mean viewership isn't down as much as it seems. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm probably just wishful thinking, haha. Toups or anyone else, any news on the new season and what ratings points equal?

Members Jess Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 There is nothing that would make me every watch OLTL again. That show cannot be trusted. The Jessica and Antonio getting married and Kevin getting dumped really just sealed it for me. The show and network cannot get past their focus on putting people up front that look good in a picture. It will return to the McBoring hour. It never stopped being the McBoring hour. I am shocked about DOOL. Days has always been weird though. It gets huge summer bumps for some reason. IN the fall it seems to drop off. I really hope that changes because I do think it is a very good soap right now. I am a little suprised that it hasn't taken greater advantage of Steve and Kayla's return. It seems they are averaging about one day a week now. Perhaps they are saving them for November. GH is obviously benefitting from the Luke and Laura story. AMC continues to suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 I don't know what Days has to do for good numbers. Bope had good scenes and last Thursday and Friday were amazing yet it drops and GH beats it. Give me a break. If Days does not go up for this week then I am not sure if I even want to look at ratings anymore. They hardly reflect quality. Days traditionally has awful Fall seasons ratings-wise but this has been a very good Fall. Days has had almost two months worth of payoffs and nothing. The only positive here is that it was a holiday weekend and every soap did bad on Thursday and some on Friday so that suggests that maybe holiday vacations and other things played a role. Nevertheless, it still sucks for Days and all shows. Please oh please let Days go up next week. It deserves a 2.7 at the very least. Steve and Kayla were huge at the end of the week and we had some awesome Belle/Phillip and Lexie/Abe stuff and the ratings don't reflect how good the show was. Ugh this ruins my day .

Members ademption Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 This Days' news is really disappointing!! Hopefully with good word of mouth, lapsed viewers will return to Days. I just hope that TPTB give Days the time to increase its' ratings!! The show is getting so much better. I just don't want them to pull the plug!! Given these poor ratings, yet positive feedback from people watching the show, maybe we need to start a letter writing campaign to not only the show's PTB but advertisers to say how much we're enjoying the show? Notwithstanding the crappy ratings, maybe viewer's positive reactions to the show will help alleviate some of TPTB's concerns about the ratings?
