B) I have a question bout Y&R's ratings

Y&R

Monday: 3.4/4,612,000

Tuesday: 3.7/4,897,000

Wednesday: 3.7/4,981,000

Thursday: 3.4/4,759,000

Friday: 3.4/5,059,000

Y does Friday have a 3.4, but more total viewers than Tuesday which has a 3.7, but the 2nd highest in total viewers? Thanks in advance for the answer :)

Let me explain..or try to. There are just more viewers watching. On my Nielsen diary book it asks to put what shows you watch. Then next to it you have to fill out how many people were watching that show on that set(meaning TV). So say I watched Y&R in my living room on Tuesday...but on Friday my Mom, Dad, Uncle, neighbor join me...it adds up to more viewers...I would include them.

Thank you...I knew there was a reason Friday was at 1.4. I was about ready to canvas some message boards to find out what affiliates aired Days last Friday. Don't the networks make allowances for things like that? Well, the French Open just cost Days -.1. There were two 2.0's and two 1.9's the other days. They're sitting with a 1.8 now.

I swear to you, Ken Corday will continue to get covers on "The Plan to Save Days!" even after NBC finally gives him a cancellation notice. The man is unbelievable. Heart in the right place, perhaps, but so consistently knee-jerk impulsive and wrongheaded in his every approach to a problem.

As for OLTL, I am pleased by the ratings and have to again stick up for its dialogue. I think it's now some of the best on daytime, rivaling the dialogue people at GH, Y&R and others. For years, OLTL had very stilted dialogue under Higley, Tomlin/Whitesell/Broderick and yes, at times, Malone, but now it's getting a naturalism and realism back, as well as some poetry to it. I'm going to be the bitch and say that the scenes everyone unfairly compares BW's last week to - the Days scenes last winter with Marlena and Belle after John's death - were waaayyyy overrated due to the high emotions of fans at the time. When I finally saw them I was extremely underwhelmed, and I think part of it was DH's performance and the overall distracted nature of the show, being pulled in many directions by both the writers and Corday. Despite Sheffer's team's good intentions, I have found RC's OLTL and its daily dialogue much more natural and well-written than the Sheffer regime at DOOL. Sheffer's people were very capable of doing great dialogue, don't get me wrong. The problem is, they often had to shoehorn in new stories or crazy last-minute ideas or mid-stream plot changes constantly.

Also, I felt Bree was amazing last week. I've often found her to be a limited actress but she really surprised me and did amazing work.

Oh, and one more thing: I feel bad for Y&R. I think very highly of Josh Griffith despite his last stint at OLTL, but to me he never seemed to be a right fit for that show at all. His work is less formal and austere than Y&R tends to be, more visceral, more rock and roll, skewing younger. He's not the right man for that kind of show and I don't think Sheffer is either.

People tune out a show for a number of reasons. I, personally, can't say what happened, but it's kinda funny how after that story was settled.....the ratings started tanking.

I think it's a multitude of things why DOOL is once again falling in the ratings, but I can't say now nor in the future what makes a fan tune out. :)

    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex? 
    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
