I can't help myself

I can't stand Frons for his micromanagement, and Guza for his repetitive story telling! I foresee some new ABCD lows and I couldn't be happier! I hope the mouse ears, start sending out some pink slips

I'm right there with you. AMC drove me away with its baby rabies years ago and no matter how many people scream "Isn't it wonderful?" OLTL is a boring dud. I'm actually enjoying watching its ratings fall.

I hope OLTL does show an increase, it was great the week of the 24th-28th, very balanced, even if a .1!! AND now that it is finally finishing up with the Marcie Kidnap s/l, I expect to see a consistent rise with everyone returning to Llanview. At least I hope

With the writers strike going on, it must be soooooo much worse!

Glad DAYS got a bump, but it's still down more than 600,000. (Last year DAYS drew 3,612,000 during X-mas week.)

The holiday bumps aren't what they used to be.

Thanks, Lskreet!

Aww...[!@#$%^&*]....LOL...GH is #3 now.

Thanks Lskreet! You're a doll!

Eh, not too bad a week I guess. Looks like GH is barely back to third place. Good to see Y&R rise, that was the beginning of their recent upswing. It should tell TPTB something that a classic Y&R episode drew almost as many viewers as a regular Y&R episode.

But it's really sad seeing so many soaps tied for 5th place with a 2.1....

Very true. Five soaps went up +.1 and Y&R went up +.2 while ATWT and GL stayed the same.

Few. AMC went up.

The sad thing is, we should probably expect some massive drops next week....

Only 3 days will be counted again. And GH has gone up the last 2 weeks. Meaning it will mostly likely drop on Thursday or Friday when the ratings come out.

OLTL went up, as did DAYS.

Or is that your wishful thinking?
