AMC is back in the crapper after the wonderful Angie & Jessie wedding and aftermath. I don't know how anyone can say the show's having a creative upswing, all I see is that horrible sextet every time I tune in. That's not helping things at all.

CBS can keep falling for all I care. No one seems to give two shits about those shows anymore. <_<

DAYS, well, we all knew this would happen so...

[ATWT/GL deserves the last 2 spots. Both SUCK! P&G soaps are in ALOT of trouble.]

What do you expect when you get rid of most of the writers? There's no longer any range of input, it's coming from so many fewer heads than in the past. That's the crappy economics biting everyone's ass.

Aww...Celia....bad memories. :lol:

I was the biggest Luke and Noah fan. Then I got bashed here....yes unbelievable...but I digress......then I would say something I didnt like about them at well that board..and the Nuke fans bashed me. I was a fan but just pointing out the bad stuff. So I got turned off real quickly. I'd rather see Luke with another guy. The actor who plays Noah sucks an a actor. Sorry....LOL.

Seriously, Paul is the same loser he was when Craig was around. And Insane Meg still wants him??? Meg is being written so [!@#$%^&*] stupid!!! This story is just being used to bring back Paul and Meg together. No other reason ....but who cares...I dont care for the pairing.

Casey and Emily are so ewwwww.......I just want Margo to slap the [!@#$%^&*] out of Emily.

Holden and Co. story is just a mess.

Seriously someone named Goutman needs a reality check!! I am so sick of EP who develop these big egos!!!

This week has been kind of rough on AMC with a couple of bright spots. I enjoyed the scene with Tad telling Kathy that she was his daughter. When he told her she could try calling him Daddy again and then choked up when she did got me. I couldn't help it, it just got me and I appreciated they thought to bring in Joe and Opal (wish we could have had Ruth too but I guess that's greedy). I appreciated the Adam and Erica scene. Those two are magic on the screen together and I liked the Krystal and Adam scene even though I do not like them as a couple. I thought their scene was brilliant and DC was stellar.

The rest was crap including Jake's high handed way of interfering with Angie treating Ryan as a patient. It was just wrong and I didn't like it. I don't expect a bump for this week.

Not for nothing but this is a classic AMC fan move. AMC fans (not all and do NOT mean to generalize here) always hate it when OLTL is on fire, as it was last week. They can not take it when OLTL is in a better place than AMC and often strive to kick it when its down. This is total stereotyping but you're just proving it right, ya know? Lots of love!!

Not all :) Just some. Actually a few on the internet.

It's no skin off anyone's back. OLTL is in a GOOD place. In fact it has been for a few years now, ups and downs, but it is definitely in a good place. No one is calling its imperfect. 80's soap was not imperfect. But it's in a good place, that's it. Clearly everyone will never agree with that, everyone will never find it as awesome as others, but that doesn't change that it is in a good place.

This ABC ratings news release is laughable yet beyond stupidity. It's amazing of how many of you believe such crap while ABC boasting GH beating GL in every category since GL does not air in many television markets opposite of GH.

So let's look at the facts here:

As of January 2007, stations in a number of markets air GL in the morning either at 9a.m. or 10 a.m. Eastern: Miami, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston, Detroit, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Orlando, Fort Wayne, Ind., South Bend, Ind., Portland, Me., Albany, N.Y., and Scranton-Wilkes Barre, Pa.

At noon GL is aired in Honolulu, HI and there are two markets that GL does not air which are Sacramento, CA and Flint/Saginaw, MI.

Elsewhere GL is normally aired at 3pm eastern and 2pm central which are smaller markets.

The top 25 largest U.S. television markets with the Nielsen Research Market are (which GL airs):

  1. New York City --10am
  2. Los Angeles --2pm
  3. Chicago --9am
  4. Philadelphia --10am
  5. Dallas/Fort Worth --2pm
  6. San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose --2pm
  7. Boston/Manchester, NH --9am
  8. Atlanta--3pm
  9. Washington, D.C./Hagerstown, MD --3pm
  10. Houston --2pm
  11. Detroit --10am
  12. Phoenix --2pm
  13. Tampa/St. Petersburg/Sarasota --3pm
  14. Seattle/Tacoma --2pm
  15. Minneapolis/St. Paul --2pm
  16. Miami/Ft. Lauderdale --10am
  17. Cleveland/Akron/Canton --3pm
  18. Denver --2pm
  19. Orlando/Daytona Beach/Melbourne --9am
  20. Sacramento/Stockton/Modesto --Not available
  21. St. Louis --2pm
  22. Pittsburgh --10am
  23. Portland, OR --2pm
  24. Baltimore --10am
  25. Charlotte --3pm

Differences of the time slots has a lot to do with the overall ratings and share especially for GL. ;)

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
