Ouch

Is there something about the last week of March? Last year most soaps dropped as well?

2006

ATWT/Y&R stayed flat

B&B 3.3/11 (-.1)

GH 2.8/9 (-.2)

AMC 2.5/9 (-.2)

OLTL 2.5/9 (-.2)

DAYS 2.4/8 (-.4)

GL 2.3/7 (+.1)

PSNS 1.4/5 (-.3)

What's really sad is that not one soap is up for the year in total viewers

A 2.3 gets you in the top 4. That's INSANE! Sadly, I don't think we've seen the worst of it.

What's the Wednesday rating for Days? It's missing.

winterguy, I think you could interpret ATWT's ratings in more than one way. The way I see it is that fans tuned in on Wednesday hoping for more Lucinda and Lily and got all teens so less people were inclined to watch on Thursday and Friday thinking it was going to be all teens.

I guess we are living in the last days of the soap opera as we know it.

Who wants to make a documentary??

Wow!

Trassions is doing alot better than I thought it would. I just knew the show would be at a 0.09 by this time... Keep up the great work, Reilly!

BTW, at what point are ratings so low that they don't register?

TIA!

Considering the way almost all the soaps are free-falling in numbers, is it possible that Neilsen implemented some sort of internal/algorhythmic change a couple of months back?

oh no! AMC went down.

hope it gets better next week

Alot of things could have to do with Spring Break maybe, plus also March Madness in some parts of the country may still be taking its toll.

And Roger I agree with you that might also be another good reason of what may have happened with ATWT between Wednesday and Friday.

B&B was the only soap not to go down: who would have thought it?

Y&R getting 3.9? OMFG

DAYS on 2.1 - Corday's latest campaign to save the show can't come soon enough.

It's a sad day for the daytime soap genre.

Women 18-34 Rating

1. Y&R 1.4/9 (-.1/-.3)

2. DAYS 1.3/9 (+.1/-.4)

Oooh, so close for DAYS.

I agree, It will get worse. We don't matter anymore.

lol yeah thats crazy about B&B, but admittedly I have been enjoying that show a lot lately. was that the week Ridge gave Rick that black eye? ah well. B&B uses the same characters, recycling the same stories, but it works for them. i guess as long as the characters the audience knows and loves are still there, people will watch. other shows should probably take a lesson.
