Members dragonflies Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 That's the thing though, Pratt is cleaning up B&E's mess, and that's gonna take a few months to wrap up their stuff. So I stand by what I said, AMC DESERVES these ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 I totally agree with you. I've watched AMC for 28 years and while this isn't the best it's ever been, it's certainly much, much better than it's been in several years. So, I'll hope with you that the ratings will rise next week when Pratt's work officially started airing (Aug 27th, for those who didn't know).

Members dragonflies Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 But what has Pratt done so far that's really amazing? The editing on AMC sucks big ones, I know sometimes with the editing it makes it hard for me to watch, don't know about anyone else. I don't know if that can effect ratings or not.

Members RalphOrtiz Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 Twenty years ago (heck, ten years ago) - there wouldn't have been a discussion about the 'editing'. Soaps are trying too hard to be 'modern'. Write a good story, get some good actors, direct them well, stop trying to be cool......and all else should follow (yes, even in this age of declining ratings and a bizillion other cable networks..)

Members wiccachick_1 Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 How in the heck does GH hang in there above a 2.0? It baffles the mind. AMC is in a holding pattern and has been for a while so I understand why they dropped. I'm liking the Jake and Amanda stuff lately though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nell17 Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 I agree. I'd bring back Jamie too for Brooke. I think the show needs more of Adam and Erica's families on canvas. Sometimes I wonder about recasting. It's been a while since we've seem any of them on screen. Would a recast work for any of those characters mentioned? A soap vet who could act? The only reason I ask is because I remember watching Ryan's Hope and remember then recasting almost all of the major characters several times with little opposition. Maybe it's because the writing was so good, you didn't notice as much, I don't know. Just thought I'd put that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 ABC has lost more than 2 million viewers since last year. That's shameful, just shameful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 Loving recast nearly every single Alden like 4 times it seemed... Well the rumorus of Skye returning migth help this--Eden Reigel has said many times she'll return to the show whenever they want her--but maybe she just means in short term? It was odd that she said she'd love to return to see her mom in jail yet the show never took her up on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cyberologist Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 I was about to post the identical thing its minusing out and they just carry on like all's well so I don't even see for GH trying to flip the script its the same deal. I mean do they even care? For me its like someone is "designing" it to fail accidently on purpose (doesn't have to) They could be surprised that its still around its like every week maybe if I do this I'll get another 30,000 to stop watching. The good news is for me they have stepped up their settings they are really nice and wardrobe has been kind to some, others not as much. But the settings are really well done so Kudos to those set designers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members foxhunter Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 the abc average is really scary. "passions" had some better averages. there is no way the networks and studios can afford these shows. 2.5 million people? infomercials would be a cheap way out. bad news ahead...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 Infomercials are NOT cheaper. and don't have loyalty. I'm not too worried--I think it's what's happening everywhere (*hides head in sand*) with cable channels. Or maybe I've just been too excited by AMC's Mad Men actually almost breaking a mill sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
