Well, November is the last sweeps period for the year, so lets decide who had the best. Here are the categories:

Best May Sweeps-

Best Sweeps Period This Year for ALL Soaps -

Worst Feb Sweeps-

Worst May Sweeps-

Worst Nov Sweeps-

Worst Sweeps Period for ALL Soaps -

Here's my answers:

Best Feb Sweeps - GH: The Virus

Best May Sweeps- OLTL: Todd's Execution

Best Nov Sweeps- DAYS: The Gloved Hand Reveal

Best Sweeps Period This Year for ALL Soaps - February: Zach dying on DAYS, Virus on GH, Margaret being alive on OLTL, The Madi Gras Ball on AMC....

Worst Feb Sweeps- Y&R...the fact that I can't even remember what happened tells me it was boring.

Worst May Sweeps- AMC. They didn't even put forth effort.

Worst Nov Sweeps- OLTL. I've never been so bored with a soap

Worst Sweeps Period for ALL Soaps - November. This is the worst sweeps period I've seen.

The only Sweep Y&R actually went out for was August (is that a sweep month?).

The only Sweep Y&R actually went out for was August (is that a sweep month?).

Yeah, August is a sweeps month. Sweeps are every 3 months.

Best Feb Sweeps - GH. The virus s/l.

Best May Sweeps- Y&R. Phyllis finds out she's pregnant. Brad really isn't Brad (I know, the pay-off sucked ass, but the begining was good), Jack finding out about Phick's affair, Neil finding out Lily wasn't his biological daughter, but Malcolm's. That was some good drama.

Best Nov Sweeps- GH. Only because Genie Francis came back.

Best Sweeps Period This Year for ALL Soaps - Feb. sweeps.

Worst Feb Sweeps- It's a toss up between AMC & OLTL.

Worst May Sweeps- AMC. I can't even remember what they did for sweeps.

Worst Nov Sweeps- Did AMC and OLTL exen know it was sweeps? I couldn't tell by what they put on my screen. I hate to say this, but Y&R. They usually have great s/ls the month after sweeps.

Worst Sweeps Period for ALL Soaps - May sweeps. The only two shows May sweeps I can remember is Y&R and OLTL.

Best Feb Sweeps - GH: The Virus

Best May Sweeps- OLTL: Todd's Execution

Best Nov Sweeps- GH - runner up GL & B&B

Best Sweeps Period This Year for ALL Soaps - Feb.

Worst Feb Sweeps- Days - the Zach story that was so good in January turned into a big triangle and repeat of Bo & Billee.

Worst May Sweeps- All 9 shows. Not one of them stood out to me that time around.

Worst Nov Sweeps- OLTL. I've never been so bored with a soap. Runner up Days which was boring all month.

Worst Sweeps Period for ALL Soaps - November. This is the worst sweeps period I've seen. The only ones that I even enjoyed at all were GH, GL, and B&B - the rest were terrible.

I totally agree with this...best sweeps of the year. Too bad Y&R couldn't keep up the momentum of that month.

Best Feb Sweeps - ATWT's Luke's storyline starts

Best May Sweeps- ATWT Luke tells his parents he is gay

Best Nov Sweeps- None

Best Sweeps Period This Year for ALL Soaps - ATWT May Sweeps

Worst Feb Sweeps- B&B

Worst May Sweeps- B&B and Y&R

Worst Nov Sweeps- ATWT

Worst Sweeps Period for ALL Soaps - ATWT November Sweeps :angry: With Y&R and B&B being not much better, though B&B is now heating up. ATWT is still in the dumper, and I don't see much changing there in the coming weeks.

Best FEB sweeps: GH with the return of Robert Scorpio. Unfortunately, it was the first of many sweeps month gimmick returns for that show

Best May sweeps: I'm going to go with the return of Steve and Kayla (was that May) I would say Todd's execution, but the aftermath was just so poor and the fact that they shifted the story to John makes it even less impressive.

August: Didn't know they had one

November: Gotta go with GH for the wonderful, wonderful performances we saw from Tony Geary and Genie Francis. Once again, sweeps is over and it returns to [!@#$%^&*].

Worst Feb sweeps: DOOL was so bad in February

Worst May sweeps: GH

Worst November sweeps: OLTL. Dumped two popular characters during sweeps. Let it be know the third would be dumped, married off soap's most boring and disliked couple and focused on strangers and McMummy.

Worst Sweeps period for all soaps. Had to be November. Only shows that were worth watching were DOOL and GH and GH was only worth selective viewing.

For some reason I always thought they changed up the three month thing, and it is July sweeps, not August sweeps. I thought I read about that in a soap mag years ago. I could be wrong....anyone know for sure?

From Neilsen Media:

The term "sweeps" has been around since the beginning of TV measurement. These measurement periods are called "sweeps" because Nielsen Media Research mails out diaries to certain households around the country, then collects and processes the diaries in a specific order. The diaries from the Northeast regions are processed first and then swept up around the country, from the South, to the Midwest and finally ending with the West. The standard sweep months include November, February, May and July of each year.

(emphasis mine)
