taps foot for RC since hes sleeping...

[jimmyk311]

Since most the ratings from the non-serial syndication (talk shows, court shows, and etc.) and wrestling tv shows were down across the board last week, I predict the soap numbers will either stay the same or go down so much so to record lows.

Things don’t look good for any of the soaps (or the rest of daytime for that matter) leading into May sweeps.

The question remains is how bad is soaps ratings are going to be during May sweeps and the upcoming summer months?

As I keep saying, all that I hope for is the soap writers, the EPs, and the daytime industry itself get off their asses and make soaps for the 2008 era and not for the 70s-90s era for today viewers or they’ll be out of a job sooner than later.

[koos]

Agreed. I was watching Days episodes from 1985 on YouTube and thinking, "Wow, this was really modern." Some of the scenes looked more like an action movie, and the music was dynamic '80s rock. Now it's all quaint and old-fashioned in comparison...

[JackPeyton]

<~~has long thought soaps need to stop going backwards and go forwards... yet they dont.

[dm.]

My prediction for this week will be that the soaps will either go up, down or stay the same. I'm good at predictions.

[marceline]

Hey you! Let's lay down some ground rules! You stay out of my head and stop saying what I'm thinking and we'll get along just fine.

[NYC123]

I hope AMC goes up! It has been better lately!

[wiccachick_1]

Time for the weekly foot tapping and nervous idle pre-ratings chatter.

That's my favorite part since the ratings tend to be on the depressing side.

I'm hoping for an AMC bump (crosses fingers *please*please*please*) because the show has actually gotten pretty good if you subtract the stupid 6 plot point. Let each couple have their own story (like say Ryan rebuilding his marriage because I'm enjoying Ryan and Annie together or Zendall dealing with the fall out from the 5MS, or "Five Minute Stand" - thanks Kate from Eye on Soaps) and it's all good.

Still loving Jessie and Angie and I sorta like Uncle Rob...or love to hate Uncle Rob. AMC got two good lover to haters with Rob and Ritchie. What's with all the bad guys starting with R?????

[MoTheGreat]

Come on AMC you can go up.

[Ryan]

Here's to hoping for a good week for soaps

*is tempted to tap foot....but thinks of Toups and afraid of doing it*

[Noel]

And while there are people hoping for an AMC increase, I'm like the little person who kind of hopes that GL jumps just a tad notch because the recent ratings for GL have been extremely horrible. True, the show sucks and wish that there would be some kind of regime change to happen for this show, but these ratings for GL are so sad to look at. And with former Guiding Light actress Nicollette Goulet who just recently died due to her battle with breast cancer and looking at some old Guiding Light video clips on YouTube when she played Meredith Reade, I was just saddened to see the passion the show had as a whole back then. And it's gone now... it's just... so sad. *sniffs*

[ I was just saddened to see the passion the show had as a whole back then. And it's gone now... it's just... so sad. *sniffs*]

It's hard to muster up passion when there's no money supporting you...no money for writers, sets, actors...yet they keep soldiering on (same with ATWT). I have to give them all credit for trying so hard under such dire circumstances.

[Noel]

^^I'm aware of that. But it's still sad to look back.
