Thanks Lsk

I see ABC came back down to earth.

[Lskreet]

They sure did.

GH was still able to hang on to some of it's audience, but I have a feeling their numbers will go down now that Genie Francis is gone. The other two shows are still pulling in the numbers they normally do.

[bellcurve]

Poor GL.

[Ponz]

I'm pleased DAYS held steady and moved into third. It wasn't as big a week as the one before so that's a solid rating.

[whyamcwhy]

I am disappointed that Y&R didn't go up but its not surprising since it was Thanksgiving week. Congrats to Days for maintaining their better ratings!!! It is amazing what better writing can do! Hint...Hint...ABC/AMC. And I am not surprised AMC went back down. The show just doesn't have anything going for it right now.

[winterguy125]

I see ATWT is finally dropping, maybe when they hit 2.0 maybe something will change

[rsmith2k2]

To AMC and all of ABCD, I say, " ."

[Angela]

Thanks Lsk

[kmoss]

ABC will never learn that the people want to see people they have invested interest in and not the children.

[Chris B]

Lskreet, do you have the ratings for InTurn as well? It aired in Y&R's timeslot on Friday.

Overall the ratings were pretty bad, maybe it was an extreme week because of the holiday? Do they generally go down during holiday season? Hopefully December is stronger because I know Y&R has some big stuff coming.

[Lskreet]

Lskreet, do you have the ratings for InTurn as well? It aired in Y&R's timeslot on Friday.

InTurn 1.9

Do you mind telling me what exactly it is?

[whyamcwhy]

ABC will never learn that it takes more than shocks and gimmicks to bring the ratings up and maintain them. It takes, and this is a novel concept to Frons and TPTB, GOOD WRITING!!!!!

[Steveo4]

Really glad DAYS stayed steady at 2.6. If the show can hold its rating there on a week like last week when not a whole lot happened, I have alot more confidence on what DAYS' ratings will be through December. ALOT more is gonna be happening, and I could see DAYS getting a few weeks at 2.7-2.9 during the next month. Here's hoping!
