WOW AMC got a 2.8 on Wednesday. Good for them! I haven't really followed ABC religiously since they canceled Port Charles. I have been watching General Hospital a lot more recently. What I've seen of One Life to Live hasn't really impressed me at all. I don't see what all the die-hard OLTL fans see in that show at all. Can't wait to see how the rest of the soaps did.

[Angela]

So that's 2.6 for AMC (same), 2.7 for GH (-.1), 2.4 for OLTL (-.1).

Thanks for the numbers, allat!

This week they're giving us right now (nicely cliffhanged on that Wednesday), is the best they've had in a long time (entertainment value wise), so I'm crossing my fingers they can atleast maintain (2.6) when this 5 day week comes back into the picture in next weeks ratings.

[cal3]

So OL ties it's series low with a 2.4.

I'm an OL diehard fan and I think the show is pure crap at the present with a few moments of gold sprinkled here and there.

[alwaysAMC]

Yeah AMC's Wednesday was the best episode of daytime I've seen in a long time. Followed with another great day this Monday - I'm hoping AMC can climb this week. I thought most shows get a bump during holidays though?

Thanks for the numbers everybody, I guess these are how the officials might look.

While I thought last Wednesday was a good cliffhanger episode, this Monday/Thursday's episodes were the best of AMC I've seen in a very long time. I do hope they get a little payoff next week (in the ratings) for it - even if it is another 2.6.

[CSW]

I haven't watched AMC in years, what happened last Wed and this week to make it so good?

[Angela]

CSW, it's just since last Wednesday the show has started to feel more lively again, something it hasn't felt most of this year. It's not even that I like the story that was unfolding, Greenlee outing that Kendall's carrying K/R's baby not G/K's baby (K/Z, JR/B "romance" stuff - I'm using initials, but maybe you hear enough about the show to know whom they stand for) - it just was good acting and entertaining to watch. It might only be a moment that lasts just a week for AMC, but I'll give them credit for it.

[Mitchapalooza]

Told yah guy thats GH would overtake DAYS in 18-34.

So looks like this for DAYS this week then:

HH:

5.) 2.6 (Same)

18-49:

3.) 1.9 (+.1)

18-34:

1.) 2.0 (+.2)

Good week for DAYS.

[ATWTfan1]

yay ATWT back in 3rd I have a feeling GH will re-claim it next week so I'll just enjoy their tiny bump this week

Thanks for the dailies allatwitter

[Adam]

I haven't been this energized about AMC since probably March/April of this year. November started out slow but just kept building and now has snowballed. I am loving everything except the Ryan pimping but even that has sorta gone down a notch. This past week has been AMC's best in months with Greenlee/s emotional exit and the Thanksgiving fallout, Jack/Erica alone time ALONE TIME. Somethinh we have barely seen since they tied the knot. Zach and Kendall KISSED!!! Which I as a long suffering Zendall fan savoured the moment only to be crying when Kendall threw Zach out. While I understand why she did I was just screaming ok rip the clothes off rip them off! Hopefully I will get that at some point and then today with babe and JR. And Janet plotting and I like the Amanda/Babe rivalry. I know AMC still has its critics but when you look at what we got in May-September, all of the sudeen this show looks recognizable again. Now just get Brooke on there and we will be all set.
