If All My Children being SEVENTH (7TH) in Women 18-49 during Sweeps doesn't force changes, then I have lost all hope of ABC Daytime ever having a brain.

All My Children was BEAT by The View, Passions, One Life To Live, General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, and The Young and the Restless in the demo. AMC only managed to beat The Price is Right, Guiding Light and As The World Turns.

ABC even managed to tout that GH and OLTL were up in viewers (1 % each, lol), while AMC is barely worth a mention AT ALL in their press release.

Errol, you would think that ABC would take action and get rid of Mctavish and Frons but I bet they take a "let's see what happens with the Zarf storyline" attitude. McTavish has more lives than a cat. She keeps going and going and ruining the show in the process.

Maybe Errol meant they beat AMC in 18-49 total viewers?

AMC has 921,000 women 18-49 this week

PSNS had 890,000 2 weeks ago, so it's quite possible that with PSNS +.1 gain that they beat AMC in 18-49 viewers.

For as angry as Passions can make me, that would be so sweet if it actually beats AMC in the prized 18-49 demo. I have actually enjoyed the show this week, so a ratings increase would be great for the show. I have to admit that Passions is so much better than it was in 2005. I think that was the worst year for the show IMO.

Well, I think you're on crack. 2006 was *THE* worst year for the show EVER. Vendetta much? BARF.

As for PSNS beating AMC, I couldn't really care less. AMC is clearly the worst show on daytime right now. I don't see how that's a big feat. It is not a rise because PSNS had a great week of storytelling and received a bump in the ratings. It's PSNS doing the same AWFUL crap, and AMC falling below it.

If OLTL is #5 in the 18-49 at a 1.5 and AMC is #7 at a 1.4 doesn't that mean someone is tied with OLTL at 1.5? That would also leave #4 open given GH and YR tied for 1 and DOOL at 3 or someone tied with DOOL for 3.

Actually Mike, It would be Passions having a good week because it would mean that PSNS had to gain in 18-49 just like they did in HH this week.

Also if they did beat AMC with 930,000 viewers it would be their biggest 18-49 women audience in over a year ;)

    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • 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.
