Exactly!! You are right in every sense of your post. Telenovelas last between 3 to 6 months depending on the telenovelas. A telenovela which was not doing well in the ratings on Telemundo was cut short to 2 months or less.

I'm not sure what ratings scale they're using for these ratings, but they're definitely not comparable to the ratings for the daytime soaps. I'm guessing they're ratings for a very specific demographic group.

If these were based on total US households (which they're clearly not), that 21.0 rating would mean that more than 1 in every 5 households watched that show. That's just not possible, lol.

I believe it is hispanic/latino households only. But soon to change is what I heard. Telenovelas are beating regular programming during the night. Univision had higher neilsen numbers during the night of the Daytime Emmys. ABC was being beaten by Univision.

Yup, there have been times when Univision has beaten ABC and Fox channel. And this is only the hispanic/latino market. Imagine what the ratings will look like when all of nielsen households is counted. Telenovelas have always been popular. I cant recall the telenovela at this moment...but its series finale got a 36.0 plus in households.

Let's say Y&R gets a 3.5 and AL Diablo gets a 23.0.

Are you really saying that about 6-and-a-halt TIMES more households watch Al Diablo than Y&R????

If Y&R has about 5 million viewers (just to simplify...I realize there is no direct relation between household and # viewers) are you really saying in excess of 30 million viewers watch Al Diablo???

If this is true, this is a whole America I know nothing about... <hangs head in shame>

I don't get these channels. Well, I think I get Univision, but that is the only one.

If they would close-caption these in English, or do a SAP in English, I'll bet they'd get some non-Latino ratings too.

I think there needs to be a company that comes in and challenges Nielsen. Why should Nielsen be the premiere standard for ratings? They're outdated and can't keep up with the times. I think the new company should be inclusive of EVERYONE who wants to participate (barring those who can't participate in Nielsen due to whatever rules).

I'm tired of a select group of bitches deciding what shows are canceled and what shows succeed. <_<

Non latino ratings for the novelas are coming soon Mark. Nielsen will start coutning non-latino households too. I would recommend Al Diablo...its a good soap opera. Guy and girl want to be together but cant because no one wants them together..ie..Mom, Dad...etc.....So they are told they are related..whic his false....The guy marries another girl and gets her pregnant. The girl marries another man...at the wedding the guy's(the one she truly loves) mother gets up and while drunk tells everyone at the wedding that the bride and her son are not related. Son hits the roof and bride runs after the man she truly loves. Thats where we are at with Al Diablo...LOL.

    • I agree. For now. I am sure in a year's time...a new family (or old) will start to appear on the show. 
    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her. However, I don't get what gives her the authority to turn down EJ's offer.  I understand that they need a hospital figurehead to show us scenes of the competition to buy the hospital.  But, unless the entire administration has been let go, the Chief of Staff wouldn't make those choices.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
