Members shawn Perez Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 ok thanks for the info..although how is it that GH was 2.8 with a total viewership of 3,389,000? and if I'm not mistaken it wasn't that long ago that GH grabbed that many viewers back in November sweeps of 2007. but it was around 2.5?

Members dragonflies Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks Angela, I thought in 2007, but was wrong IMO GH's ratings aren't anything to brag about, plus haven't they lost more overall viewers in the last year than any other ABC soap?

Members dawn9476 Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 Glad to see Days 18-49 demo is still in the toilet. Remember when they use to get ice cream when they won that demo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shawn Perez Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 any type of super event AMC/OLTL pull off wont matter to most fans that tuned out in the first place if the writing is boring and not in the least bit capitivating..to them they have seen it all....baby switches. wtd. romance with couples that never last forever..and so on. nothing new. if i wanted to see a husband turned gay killer. I'll watch passions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 You're not off there. GH 4/23/07.......3.....2.8.....09.....2) 1.9/11.....3) 3,604,000 4/30/07.......3.....2.7.....09...*1) 1.8/12.....3) 3,538,000 5/7/07.........3.....2.7.....09...*1) 1.9/12.....3) 3,607,000 5/14/07.......3.....2.7.....09...*1) 1.9/12.....3) 3,611,000 5/21/07.......3.....2.7.....09...*1) 1.9/12.....3) 3,607,000 5/28/07.......3.....2.6.....08.....2) 1.8/11.....3) 3,458,000 6/4/07.........3.....2.5.....08.....2) 1.6/10.....3) 3,394,000 I guess that's because of the annual rise in how many households it takes to make up a ratings point. And I guess the difference in household watching at a particular hour of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shawn Perez Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 no they pretty much stayed the same since 2003/4. it was the 90's when GH was in the 6.000.000 rang. the 80's when GH was in the 13.9' same with Y&R fighting for the number one spot..but GH top the charts with the whole Luke & Laura wedding that grabbed 30.000.000 million viewers in just that one event..however you can't single out one soap when all soaps lost millions of viewers over the years.

Members Angela Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 Let us not forget AMC was the #1 ABC soap from like 92-95. I think it could be argued that AMC was the carrier ABC soap in late April-June 2006 and for a month or two at the end of the babyswitch. It wasn't hands down, but you couldn't outright say that it wasn't AMC helping along it's weaker siblings for those moments. I have to look at OLTL's rating for the time to beat GH to see how long they were doing what for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 AMC was higher rated than GH for most of the 90's... In fact, if we averaged everything up, Y&R would be the #1 rated show of the 90's, AMC would be #2, and DAYS would be #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 No question. The #2's... AMC: Spring 1992 - Spring 1995. B&B/GH/AMC: Rest of 1995. DAYS: 1996 - Early 1998. Was it B&B that took over after DOOL's reign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 I am curious to know how B&B would do in the ratings if it didn't have Y&R as it's lead in. Could it stand on it's own?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TC Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 Never say never about GH being bested by other ABC soaps. I never thought I'd see OLTL be in better shape than AMC ratings wise. And we're only talking tenths of points here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted May 23, 2008 Members Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yes, and didn't OLTL surpass GH for a week or two a couple of years ago when the whole thing about Daniel Colson hit the fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted May 23, 2008 Members Share Posted May 23, 2008 It absolutely did. Took the #3 spot in households (not that HH's matter to the execs) WHich is what makes that story that much more tragic - because it was just a plot point to write three characters out and explain an inherited murder mystery. If the story had continued beyond a Sweeps stunt, who knows? Maybe it could have stayed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted May 23, 2008 Members Share Posted May 23, 2008 Oh but you can. Since 2003/2004 the ratings have gone way down. And yes, GH has lost the most viewers this past year than any other soap on ABC. As you can plainly see from Toups' ratings info GH has lost 658,000 viewers compared to last year. But then, it's not to say that the rest of daytime is swinging with success. In fact, every soap has hit the skids...it's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
