But what else will make them wake up? Letters don't do it. Posts at soap forums don't do it. The viewers they have/had are unhappy, and they are doing a piss poor job of finding new ones.

One in the hand is worth two in the bush, as they say.

I think AMC is in good standing compared to every other soaps. AMC either decreased by like 5,000 or increased! I am glad that AMC is holding. Everyone is bleeding except for AMC! AMC deserves these ratings. I hope they can take the #2 spot! They deserve it cause it is so good! :)

The following questions which hasn't been addressed to the current declining ratings are:

1) How much of a pre-emption has affected the daytime soaps from the Minneapolis I-35 Collapse breaking story? This story interrupted several days in some big markets such as the Twin City market. I know that the story broke out to pre-empt ATWT and GL in the Toledo, OH market.

2) Since CBS.com now offers Inner Tube to watch the entire episodes of Y&R, ATWT and GL instead of taping, tivoing, vod-ing or watching the show on TV, how much of a shift from viewers to the internet? I for one a little over a month ago when Inner Tube started, I now stop watching GL on TV or even taping it, I watch the show on the internet and I love it. There has to be a reflection of how many viewers have left TV to watch GL on the internet. Also that goes for how many viewers watch Y&R, AMC, GH, and OLTL on the SoapNet cable network?

GL is my #1 soap even though I keep up with the other shows periodically to see what's going on (thank you SoapNet and Soap Opera Weekly), but GL's current ratings is very flawed and underrated IMO.

The I-35 Bridge Collapse happened on August 1, 2007 6pm (CST); which the breaking, covering newstory went on for several days which interrupted Thursday (8/2) and Friday (8/3) shows. In Toledo, ATWT and GL was interrupted from time-to-time on Thursday but was back full-time on Friday.

The Twin Cities and the surrounding markets were pre-empting their regular line-up from Thursday 8/2 through earlier this week; and probably pre-empted more yesterday since they've recovered more bodies. With that kind of impact, it does affect ratings in certain factors.

Another point I like to make in regards to declining ratings specifically on the CBS soaps, the primetime ratings this summer on CBS is significantly down compared to a year ago. The cable networks are booming these days such as TNT, Lifetime, FX, Bravo, USA Network, etc. Typically, if the ratings are down on primetime it affects daytime and across the board no matter what, just as NBC has been suffering in the primetime ratings for the past few years since "Friends" left the airwaves it impacted the NBC soaps as well.

I'm assuming once football season is back on CBS, new fall shows, and the new host Drew Carey debuts on "The Price Is Right", it should help raise the ratings on the CBS soaps.

ABC soaps have been holding steady due to the success of recent primetime ratings (i.e. Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Lost, etc, etc).

Why is CBSD falling so hard? This can only get worse when the PIR lead-in loses ratings this fall (and you know it will.) I think 2007 might just be the end of CBS' number 1 streak.

Time to clean house, CBS. Latham, Bloom, Goutman, Kreizman, and Wheeler all need to go post haste.

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.
