"B&B and GH are really getting close - most of B&B's dailies are 3.0 and GH got a 3.0 and mostly 2.9's. Is this the year that B&B finally loses the #2 spot???"

Well, I was hoping that Days would boot B&B out of the #2 spot, but even though I don't watch GH, I hope it does knock B&B off. It's time for Bell to realize that he can't write the same story over and over again, rewrite history to suit his terrible storytelling, constantly shove characters down our throats, have a rapist as a leading man, and force us to watch the constant partner swapping before people start tuning out. The minute Brooke forgave Ridge, I tuned out. There's nothing that is happening on the show now that even makes me remotely want to tune in. I don't even tape the show anymore. So all I can say is go GH and Days, stick it to Bell.

LSkreet, you list the numbers as Jan 8-12... did we miss a week? Ought these be Jan 1-5? Or did I lose a week?

LSkreet's correct. If you look in the Ratings Archive section of the board they have the ratings from Jan 1-5.

7. ATWT 2.3...........Wednesday 2.2

Congrats. to Jean Passanante and Christopher Goutman. Truly deserved ratings!

If this isn't a clue she must go. I don't know what else needs to happen for her to get fired!

Its finally nice to see people seem to be tuning into the Zarf/Zoe storyline on AMC.... but with Cady's firing.... how many people will they lose? I think quite a bit.

Thanks! I must have had a week of amnesia in there somewhere!

Nope I feel the exact same way. I don't know what GH did to deserve a 2.9, did they feature Patrick and Robin more or something

They were on 3 days, though not prominently. I do know that those are the only 3 days I watched.

Wow - ATWT is finally getting the numbers it deserves - I hope they see this and make that show more entertaining and less boring now!

I disagree. Of all weeks, last week's ATWT did not deserve low numbers.

In the past two months, ATWT had been dark, twisted, and repetitive. I'll certainly agree to that. I have little faith in Jean Passanante.

But last week was the first week in a long time that the show was actually good. If you look back on the board, you will see that we were praising last Monday, Wednesday, and Friday's episodes. Stories finally moved, and it wasn't all Craig all the time.

To me, ATWT turned the corner on Monday, January 8th, was generally decent-to-good last week, and was good on some days this week too (especially Tuesday the 16th).

I hope TPTB does not take the ratings drop for last week, as evidence that they should go *back* to the horrible repetitiveness and dark twistedness of December.

WOW I"M really surprised at the numbers for AMC last week. They are really rebounding for some odd reason.

Robert

No odd reason...it's one word: ZARF!!!! (Or if you prefer, ZOE!!!)

Joint,

I prefer niether I absolutely HATE this S/L and I"M not watching AMC for it either. I would love to see Zarf/ZOE killed by the Serial Killer.

All I can say for AMC ratings is the will fall once Dixie Dies.

Robert

ATWT was somewhat better last week, but being better than horrendous is still bad IMO. The writer is terrible and every single week it's the same people over and over. I'm actually glad Simon and Carly are gone now. Although I read the spoilers and it's still all Paul, Katie, Meg, Emily, Craig, etc. Enough of these characters. They would be ok if not ALWAYS on the frontburner. Give someone else a chance. The ratings are in the toilet. Come on.

Tom was in the hospital this week and we still didn't get a Nancy, Bob, Tom and Casey - FOUR generations scene. This show has something special but doesn't even know it.

Am I the only one who is not enjoying GH now? I just don't understand what is so compelling about it. I think it has gotten a lot worse. I still can't get over medical professionals believing that Maxie was preggers and then not realizing that she wasn't when she had her "miscarriage". And that tatooed twin priest of the Manny the Psycho is ridiculous as is Carly marrying Sonny (and I actually like them together but this wedding is so contrived). I guess it shows they don't need Jax or Luke to bring in good numbers (don't get me wrong I like Jax and love Luke) but according to the numbers it doesn't matter that they aren't on.

Nope you are not. I hate the show. It sucks. I hate that all the women are tied to murders. Carly is up the ass of Sonny, Sam and Liz are up the ass of Jason. Skye is up the ass of Lorenzo. It is so boring and stupid. I can't stand Mucky. The only thing worth watching is Scrubs. The rest of the show is godawful.

I doubt it. GH and B&B have been close to before and GH has blew it each and everytime.

I don't think anyone can that for certain. I think there will be a dip in the ratings, but they'll rebound. Unless every single person who stops watching is a Neilsen viewer, it won't make one lick of difference

I think Frons believes that any viewers lured back in when Cady returned will stick around to watch the Tad/Kathy story. Some probably will but I think most will tune back out AND there are those who didn't stop watching during Cady's absence but will stop watching now because they are absolutely furious.

AMC doesn't have much going for it right now. Zendall, Zarf/Zoe.....and really that's it. Not good, especially if Thorsten leaves.
