Members Rocket Man Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 WOW! Something's not right as "Guiding Light" has more viewers than AMC and OLTL and yet they get lower ratings. The daily viewership is yet mind-boggling as well when on Thursday GL got a 1.6 rating with 2.4 million viewers as OLTL got 1.8 with 2.1 million viewers--shouldn't it be the other way around??????. Talk about fuzzy numbers!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jackal Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 I'm hoping the Marci on the run s/l is coming to a close. 188,000-723,000 viewers lost within 1 year!! That's SCARY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 ATWT didnt do too bad in the ratings. Glad it remained #3 in Total Viewers. Thanks for the ratings Toups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NYC123 Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 I feel bad for OLTL. Frons needs to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 At least Days is not in last place. ABC is a hot ass mess. What's going on over there. As much praise as I've read about RC why is OLTL hitting lows these last few weeks Days has been awesome these last two weeks. It scares about Dena coming on. Just when Days was getting there feet on the ground this bitch comes along and messes it up. My only question is why is Ed Scott letting Hackley make all these changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members David_Vickers Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 I cannot understand why ONE LIFE's ratings are so damned low. ONE LIFE is the best soap on right now. It's kicking ass. AMC & GL should be the bottom 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RalphOrtiz Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'm confused. Aren't these the previous weeks ratings, and not last weeks? Aren't last week's ratings coming out on Monday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 The fact is these ratings are bad. And I don't say that just because of the HH's or the Demos but because of how many viewers have left in comparison to last year. Y&R has the best viewer retention but the show has still lost nearly 200,000 viewers. B&B has lost 240,000 (earlier this year it was closer to half a million) so it seems that their audience has returned somewhat (or like the new creative staff the returning viewers were actually Y&R refugees) DAYS has lost more viewers than any other soap and it remains to be seen if the Ed Scott revival will bring enough of them back. The ABC soaps: GH, AMC and OLTL have all most close to 500,000 viewers or more and those viewers aren't going to be back as the ageist trend on ABC continues. The P&G soaps have also lost a tremendous amount of viewers but less than the ABC soaps or DAYS so they look good in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 It does seem ALL the soaps are losing ratings big time. Esp ABC these last few months. It's like the rest of the soaps will be taking a ratings slide just like Days did last year. Days is still up a bit. GL and ATWT remains somewhat steady too though with writing changes over there I wonder how things will pan out. Whitesell imo sucks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cal3 Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 I"m not a DOOL viewer but over Christmas I was visiting relatives who are and caught a bit of it. It was a pleasant surprise. ABCD deserves what it is getting and that includes OLTL. Jess already said it but I join her in not feeling the OLTL love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jess Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi Cal. I hope things are well with you. I found DOOL very enjoyable, particularly during the holidays. As I said in my previous post, it has people interacting who should be interacting and every character has a storyline. Ed Scott, is really doing a good job IMO. I don't watch it every day, but do enjoy it when I tune in. As far as OLTL, I guess to those people still watching, it is the best show on television. In my opinion, it's ratings are well-deserved.

Members cal3 Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi Jess. Hope all is great with you. I don't know enough about DOOL to know who should be interacting but it was still enjoyable. I guess that says something. Life in general has me busy these days. I tend to check out YR if I check out any soap. I don't know what to say about OLTL other than reading in the news section that Margaret is making a return doesn't inspire a desire to run to ABC.

Members Vee Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 OLTL doesn't deserve any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 IMO, OLTL has been doing what other soaps haven't been doing; displaying it's vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RogerNewcomb Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 ATWT is the only soap doing better year over year in the 18-49 and 18-34 demos. That's good news for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
