Soapsuds, are those the ratings for 15-20?

Nope John , they are for the week of Oct. 1-Oct.5.

Oh, OK, thank you.

I'm confused, don't know which data to take as official...

I'm confused, don't know which data to take as official...

SOW ratings only reflect Live watching and no DVR same day watching. SON ratings include DVR same day watching. I dont know why SOW doesnt use the added DVR watching.

Ratings mean nothing to me anymore. I know that fans are gone, and they're probably not coming back. I will continue to watch what they are missing, because it's damn good! I know that the ratings are what matters when it comes to keeping a show on the air, but I'm done getting upset over the low ratings. I'm enjoying what we're seeing and if that means that I can only enjoy DAYS for the next year and a half, then that's fine by me.

Damn good, Drew? I think that's a bit of an overstatement, it is, however, your opinion, and I respect that.

Look at this:

4. B&B 2.8/10 (-.3)

5. AMC 2.7/10 (-.2)

the ratings weren't so good 3 years ago; I didn't know b&b hit 2.8 in 2004!

Where did you get these, sacha?

Oh, thanks! I updated the data, and here's what The Young and the Restless look like from the end of 2003 until this latest week:

And this is the chart for Days of Our Lives:

The difference in the Y&R slopes (a bit steeper now with 2003...but pretty shallow still) and Days is BREATHTAKING.

Poor Days! It really has not gotten the creative love it deserved.

This is The Bold and the Beautiful:

Believe me, b&b ratings are soon going to rise...
