I know you didn't switch them around Angie. That's how Lsktreet posted it.

Additionally, AMC fell .1, DAYS gained .1, so wouldn't they go on top? It doesn't even really matter, they're both tied.

IMO the "Greenlee hour" is killing AMC.

I mean seriously a newbie in the role, who's #1 in airtime is just BAD.

No, they wouldn't, lol. Gains don't mean a thing in rankings.

Thank you Ryan. I'll scratch worrying about my short-term memory off my personal list of concerns.

I typically go for the alphabetical order in ties as well, as do many sources. My final judgement (personally) would be on who had the most viewers. But it's not a big deal that AMC is placed before DAYS or if DAYS is placed before AMC, they're tied in rating - end of story. Alphabetical order is not going to change the fact that both shows got a 2.2!

Thanks for posting the ratings, Lsk

Yeah, I don't know who thought the Sabine Singh overkill on AMC was a good idea. Seriously, who makes these decisions over at ABC?

I copied and pasted directly from the site and they listed DOOL first. I didn't realize it was such a big deal as to who was listed first when they are tied.

Neither does alphabetical order.

It doesnt. They are both tied for #5. Usually they are listed in ABC order. But since Days went up and AMC fell they went with the soap that went up.

Thanks for posting!

ABC just continues to drown itself. The rating next week should be interesting. GH is again investing to much airtime into their new baby project Night-Shift. Yesterdays show was edited so poorly they could hire some local Middle School kids that are more capable then what I've watched. Writing is all over the place, newbie actors that can't act the list of failures just goes on and on.

I was hoping for .1 loss, oh well, maybe next week!

You Suck GH Here's hoping to see DOOL pass them next week!

All My Greensleaze isn't doing so hot in the ratings department!

Great ATWT dropped to #7 in the ratings. Way to go Goutman and Pissanante. But they are only .2 away from 4th. They did get a nice jump from Friday's 2.0 to Monday's 2.3. At least there were no 2.0's this week.

AMC going down to a new low doesnt surprise me. I dont see any improvement in the show. It still sucks.

And still excuses for Days low numbers on Friday. Some soaps stayed the same or went up on Friday. I doubt the holiday had much to do with it.

Lets take a look at that shall we:

So FIVE of the NINE shows went down. It wasn't just DAYS. I'm not sure of the whole holiday thing but working retail we happened to be a little slower this weekend so people could of easily of headed off on vacation early.

Exactly and that was what I mentioned in my post. It wasn't an excuse. I wouldn't make excuses for Days in a week where they were up overall. GL and OLTL were the only shows that didn't stay stagnant or decrease at all. That tells me people took off early for the weekend or maybe people took long vacations this year with the holiday on Wednesday upcoming. It's not excuses. It's just trying to come up with a theory as to why there seemed to be some big decreases on Friday for many shows. That's all. Doesn't mean me or anyone else is right. Just theorizing.

It's strange that I seem to be the only AMC fan not surprised. People are expecting things from AMC and B&E that just aren't realistic, IMO.

These numbers are PATHETIC!

GH seriously needs to get its act together. With B&B freefalling, GH could easily be the #2 soap, yet the show refuses to make any changes. Hopefully, with Kay Alden now at B&B, things will get better and ratings will stabilize.

GH doesn't care. They have been in so many positions to past B&B in the last two years and they don't give a [!@#$%^&*]. They like B&B being ahead of them.
