TV Guide Canada calls Y&R worst soap on TV

[sheilaforever]

Finally, some publication tells it how it really is: that the once great Y&R is nothing but a stinking piece of garbage.

Contains a mini-spoiler (?) perhaps, anyhow:

I disagree with tvguide Canada.YR is almost my favorite soap

Finally! Someone noticed how bad the soap got. I can't recognize the show anymore. We've been trying to make people notice that the original and amazing soap has turned into a horror show. And now finally someone noticed it.

I havent watched Y&R in over a week and I dont miss it. How sad is that?

I caught an episode the other day. It's a lifeless, unprofessionally written, silly mess. At least on the other (admittedly) flawed soaps there's usually something going for it - ATWT has Luke and Noah, OLTL has the Tommy McBain saga, GH has a host of hot stories, and even GL has Ashlee and Doris. Y&R has...nothing.

AMEN!!! Well said TV Guide.

This is only going to fall on deaf ears, I'm afraid. I doubt anyone at CBS is going to do anything any time soon, unless LML really does something that Barbara Bloom really does not like.

In their 2006 year in review column, TV Guide Canada named Y&R as most disappointing show.

With Bob Barker's retirement and all the changes at Y&R, I'm wondering what's going to happen to CBS daytime as a whole.

Loving this!

The article won't do much as long as the ratings are good. And sadly, they are good.

Y&R sucks!

[jcar03]

They are only "good" ratings by comparing it to the other shows ratings. Compare Y&R ratings to 5-10-15 years ago NOT so good anymore. They losing like everyone else just the bleeding hasn't been as bad.

I haven't really watched Y&R in a month. I quit with that whole moronic Treasury agent mess happened.

[skiman12082004]

I totally disagree about Y&R being the worst soap. That is definitely not true. I actually enjoy the show very much. LML has been the only writer to get me watching the show everyday.

[Graciecat]

I know Y&R is in a horrible state right now, but I hope ratings don't drop too much, because I'm worried it could have horrible effects on the rest of CBS daytime. CBS's ratings are already dropping much faster than ABC's, and I don't think they can afford to have their central show tank. Here's hoping they get a new HW soon, and things start looking up.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I hope all the soap magazines follow suit and in their year end lists, Y&R is ranked as the worst soap on television. That ought to be a serious meassge to those idiots at Sony and CBS.

FINALLY! I hope so to Y&RWorldTurner.
