I think people are expecting too much where the ratings are concerned for AMC. Declines in the ratings are about offline viewers who give up, it will take a lot to bring them back, if that's even possible. All this short-term buzz doesn't matter.

On another topic, it looks like OLTL's reign with the tween girls is over.

A 3.9 for Y&R on a Tuesday...like Victor Newman would say, "Well I'll be damned!" Y&R has improved substantially and is very enjoyable, I hope, someday soon, the show can creep back into the 4s...dare to dream right?

B&B is stable...some would say stagnant. I find it enjoyable and the fact that the ratings haven't gone down says that other people think so too.

GH, well my my my, it FINALLY hit 3 million viewers on Friday. I'm sure Frons pissed himself with glee...unfortunately, the show has still lost a boatload of viewers compared to last year, ditto OLTL and AMC.

AMC needs all the promotion it can get. La Lucci being on DWTS is the best thing that can happen to this show...with decent promotion and some decent writing AMC could rise.

I don't watch P&G soaps anymore (it was AW for me) but the GL numbers are HORRIBLE! When will the show hit a rating to deserve cancellation? PC and PASS were canceled with higher numbers that GL!

LOL. I'm just shocked I tell ya that viewers aren't tuning in to see pregnant Reva. :lol:

We all know that GL will be gone next year. There's no hope left. The only interesting thing to see between now and then ratings wise is how low the ratings will go. How Ellie Wheeler could possibly think that viewers would tune in to this drivel shows how out of touch with reality she is.

I think the Sonny/Carly romp was revealed to their respective significant others, I could be off by a week or so there.

Could be that as well as possibly bad storytelling. AMC was bad in the summer/fall of 2006, but the numbers didn't start hitting all those new lows until the shaky cameras took full effect.

ETA:

I don't know when the diff. camera work started, but prior to this point GL had only hit one low in each category in 2008:

5/19/08.......8.....1.7.....05.....8) 0.9/06.....8) 2,245,000

5/26/08.......8.....1.6.....05.....8) 0.9/06.....8) 2,293,000

6/2/08.........8.....1.6.....05.....8) 1.0/06.....8) 2,216,000

6/9/08.........8.....1.6.....05.....8) 0.9/06.....8) 2,275,000

6/16/08.......8.....1.6.....05.....8) 0.9/06.....8) 2,288,000

6/23/08.......8.....1.5.....05.....8) 0.9/05.....8) 2,112,000

    • 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)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.
