I don't think it's a fluke. The teens probably tuned during ATWT slasher storylines and decide to view more of CBS daytime. That's a good sign that more teens are tuning in to CBS. Whether or not they drop the following week.

Nope I didnt say that. It is just nice to see them up there in that category. Passions constantly hogged up the #1 spot and now they dont even have that. :P And not much teen stuff was on ATWT last week. Y&R and GL have had a lot of 20 something storylines for a while now. The one thing that would me happy would be for CBS to be on top of the 18-49 category. But then again u will say it is a fluke. :P

Btw, thanks Rugrat for your breakdowns of the daily ratings....Top 9 shows of each day. :) And Lskreet for having those ratings bright and early on Thursday. :)

Well, ATWT has been #2 in 12-17 before not sure about AMC. I dont recall. Refering to lately in the ratings. Use to love AMC but I cant get into the new teen scene. And the whole Babe/Josh/JR is stupid. One day JR is jealous for no reason and the next day he is dumb as dirt. The writing is so bad.

REALLY GREAT POST PONZ.

I sincerely hope that NBC is savy enough to give Hogan Sheffer at least a good YEAR before they expect to see big payoffs.

The show is instantly much better and it's moving really well, but it takes time for word of mouth to really spread with the Non-internet, Non-political majority of soap viewers.

Time is needed and NBC needs to really stay back and just put some trust in this man's track record. He's won a bunch of Emmys and raised ATWT from cancellation. I hope NBC doesn't screw up.

I'm not worried in the least. Corday is an excellent EP and since he has gotten his power back from NBC he has shown that he knows what is best for the show. There is no way he is going to screw anything up now.

from about.com

http://daysofourlives.about.com/od/news/a/10000episodes.htm

The concept and inspiration for Days of Our Lives came from Ted and Betty Corday with loving help from Irna Phillips. The shows rights and legacy was been passed down from Ted Corday to his devoted wife Betty in 1966 after he became ill and passed away. Then in 1981, their son Ken Corday officially came aboard, as the second generation of the Corday family to produce the show. It is the longest running family owned and produced soap opera ever.

I think there are many that will disagree with you there. Corday is an okay producer (not an excellent one at all). I fully believe he is one of the big reasons why the show has faltered. He made a great decision by hiring Sheffer, but many of the mistakes he made before JER has caused great problems for the show. Many say that JER is what ruined Days and put it where it is now. But Days problems started with Langan and Corday who turned Days into daytime's version of Saved By The Bell. They just continued on through esp. with Higley. Much of Days core audience left during the Saved By The Bell years. I know I and many I know did. Many of them never came back. I did and enjoyed alot of things after that esp. the Brash/Cwikley time. Hated Higley's time. Even enjoyed the majority of JER (not all but most). The show lost me again this summer while in transition and with some proposed decisions I won't go into again. My main point here is about Corday. His Mom and Dad were excellent (even great), but their son did not get their gift.

You look at the numbers and the age breakdown and you can see how dominant Young and the Restless is. What is really amazing with ABC is that Frons invests so much in those 23,000 12 to 17 year old viewers -- and to no avail. The fact that he goes out of his way to piss off older viewers -- which clearly makes up more than half of ABC's total fanbase is even more amazing.

The chart of ABC declines is Frons' legacy. He has failed as ABCD president.

    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex? 
    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
