Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 It looks like Pratt's sweeps stunt can't come fast enough for AMC, ABC better promote it as much as they do with GH's stunts, but I somehow don't think it will get as much attention. Eh, nothing too big this week ratings-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 AMC doesn't deserve to be that low. I guess it will take awhile to gain back those lost viewers. Pratt, do your stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 ^ Sorry but yes AMC DOES deserve to be that low. Reading various boards and letters in soap mags, there's NOT much that's working for viewers on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wendy Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 What stuff? Being a sleazy Guza clone? Take it from someone who had to suffer with Pratt and Guza on GH: Pratt is as much of a savior as Guza is. In other words, AMC is screwed. ABC Daytime is running on fumes, and the other networks aren't far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members operagirl1 Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'm not impressed. It's NBC Olympic's ratings. Lets see if Days can hold. I"ll be very surprised if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KevC1980 Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 Go John and Marlena, that wednesday episode featuring them was the highest of the week, while it looks like the film noir was the lowest..Glad to see Days in 3rd place in the overall ratings..It probably won't last, but its just nice to see..

Members dragonflies Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 It's sad though when a show in 3rd place means they're only managing a 2.2....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EastMA2 Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 RE: GL Way to go Ellie Wheeler. Let's try for under 2 million next week. It's almost criminal what she has done to this show. I am convinced more than ever that she should have let the show go off the air last year with some dignity rather than become the laughing stock of the tv industry.

Members Jane1978 Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 Oh, looks like the Olympic was watched mostly by older fans. DAYS overall ratings are great, 18-38 demo not so bad, but the 18-34 numbers are still the same even with the help of Olympic. I quess this is another reason why Ed was let go, I´m sure NBC wants its young demos back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 Oh, whatever. I've watched AMC for 20 years, and I HAVE seen an improvement. I'm not familiar with Pratt, but I've read his story plans and they seem better then what we had under B&E. Can can hope, can't I? I stand by what I said, that AMC doesn't deserve to be that low. Under B&E, yes, but not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knowjack Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 While I will admit AMC has been better the last week or so, it's still a far cry from being fixed. I'm hoping Pratt will work some magic, but I don't know if the damage McTavish and B&E did is fix-able. The only things IMHO that can fix AMC are to get rid of Annie, Aiden, Ryan and the Carey Hos; make Erica a mature (but kick ass) woman; get Kendall and Zach into their own storyline; bring back Brooke, Dixie, Bianca, Reggie and Skye; destroy Fusion; undo the 'unabortion'; recast Colby (preferably with Amybr Childers); the list could go on, but it's time for me to have another gin and tonic.

Members jcar03 Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 When did Pratt's stuff start airing? Wasn't it just like the 21st or 22nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 Well his first half week has already been (and I'm shocked) a marked improvement. I really didn't want him at AMC but maybe I'm gonna be cautiously optimistic. jcar it starte don Wednesday but the whole last week felt very different in tone and pacing so his influence at least started then. I'm with Pine here--and trust me I still would much reather someone like Broderick had been hire.d But AMC has been my soap since 1991--and so far--so good. Of course it's easy to make an improvement in the first week. Let's see what happens. BRING BACK BROOKE (it's nice that Brooke has gotten several mentions lately but I feel Pratt may just be doing that old "new HW" ploy of droppigna lot of references to history in their first month back to make audiences think they knwo their show Seriouslyw hat AMC needs is Frons to stya out of stories, a new EP with a vision and hire someone like Broderick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RalphOrtiz Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 GL was great a few weeks ago with the Remy/Ava/Bill storyline - but it didn't last. And that's one of their many, many problems - not being able to sustain a good storyline. Just one reason why they're crashing fast. I just read that one of their actors has just signed a new three year contract - here's hoping that GL can make it for another three months!
