:lol: I guess so! Last week we did have vets on ATWT. But the numbers did not budge. We had Meg slap Lucinda on Wednesday. Barbara finding about Paul being alive on Friday plus the explosion with Carly and Jack. Luke was on for 5 seconds on Monday which had a higher rating except for Tuesday. I just think the storylines stink and viewers arent tuning in. It has been a while now that ATWT has been struggling in the ratings. It is time CBS do something about the HW job and fire this hack!!

You are the best and thank you for not laughing at my dorky question!! hehe

I would also be interested in cumulative totals. Now, do the "live" watchers still have the old Nielson boxes and are registered Nielson families as with traditional ratings? and for the DVR numbers, do all dvr providers (i.e. TiVo, Comcast, etc) share dvr recording data? how readily available are those numbers to Nielson?

Those day to day ratings for AMC are all over the place, 2.6 to 2.2. Seems like most the shows drop off on Friday's but that is a huge drop especially with all the drama that has been going on. I wonder if these storylines of the new writers will hold the audience's interest and keep it or if they are going to fluctuate?? Maybe the audience is tired of Greenlee and baby storylines. And I still think that they need to bring back vets or characters that have more history with the show than these two newbies that are joining the show soon. Anyway, I can't wait to see the ratings next Thursday to see how AMC does.

And how is it possible that Y&R increased as the week went on??? Is the show improving that much?

Your welcome! It wasn't a dorky question at all.

Let's see....

ALL households included in the Nielsen ratings have Nielsen people meters, basically boxes that require input of just who is watching a particular show in the household (diaries are only still used in local market ratings during sweeps, not on a national level). The DVR numbers are only from households with those same Nielsen people meters. If you don't have a Nielsen box, your DVR recordings are NOT included in the Nielsen sample.

The Nielsen sample is not really that big; right now it's less than 10,000 households nationwide. But based on the laws of statistics, it should be pretty accurate, especially in measuring total households, and the larger demographic groups (like 18-49 and 25-54). Where it gets trickier is in measuring the smaller demographic groups, like teens 12-17, because if a few teens in the sample skip a week of their show, it really shows in that demo's rating (i.e. one teen in the sample represents too many teens nationwide). That's why there are so many fluctuations in the teen ratings, and I don't put too much stock in those being particularly accurate.

Agreed. I grew up watching AMC in the 80's and the early 90's. My mom watched the show since they started and I started watching with her. I stopped watching AMC a few years ago because they kept bringing new characters on the show and pretending that the core characters didn't exist. Thankfully, I'd already stopped watching before they did the Unabortion SL and Death by Pancakes so I'm not scarred by that.

I watched AMC for the first time in a few years this past week, and I agree that the car crash story compelled me to watch. It was nice that they bought out a host of core characters in that story and the actors were all excellent. I also thought that Zach and Kendall are awesome as an on screen couple. But it was also nice to see the story because of Kendall and Zach's connection/relationship to core characters like Erica, Jackson, Mytle, and Adam. When they added these characters, I felt connected to the AMC I grew up with.

That being said, I was completely turned off by the way they were showcasing all of these newer younger characters like Greenlee and Ava (who the heck is she?), while at the same time you only get small glimpses of characters like Adam.

I'm hoping with the new writers they will integrate more of the foundational characters into the storyline. At this point I think I'll at least tune in to see whats going on with Zach and Kendall (unless they mess that relationship up), but I just cannot connect with the rest of the newer characters. If they keep with the Ava, Greenlee, and Fusion stuff they probably won't woo back their lost audience.

I can at least say that I watched AMC for the first time in years and really enjoyed the show. There are other long time viewers that I know who have been so turned off by the show that it may take them a while to come back.

    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
