Here's hoping to a boost for AMC this week (fingers crossed).

Heres hoping days goes to 1.1 just before it goes off the air in March 2009. The show is so boring. I dont think I will even watch the final shows in March, it wont be any good anyways.

I'm hoping the complete opposite that AMC's RATINGS will drop to the bottom. The Jerry Springer storyline they wrote for Zach/Bianca/Reese is just plain nasty and disgusting. There is no way long time fans of this show thinks this Torado storyline for the cast was good. It was extremely poor writing for everyone except may JR/Babe. The rest of the show sucks big time and deserves nothing but low, low RATINGS for this trash that they put on my screen these last few days and it's going to get even worst.

I'm a long time fan, and I think this is great soap. I think individual fanbases who want particular stories for their favs might be upset, but the show overall is looking up. The types of stories Pratt is writing are like old style soap stories (with some modern technology).. the same sorts of conflicts, relationships, etc.

I'm no newbie to AMC.. I first watched in the 70s. I took some time off here and there, but overall I've watched it since childhood.

I think the tornado storyline so far has been outstanding.

I also have been a longtime AMC fan (since 1990) -- and I'm definitely enjoying my soap.

Looks to me like all the die-hard Zendall fans are hurt by this Bianca/Zach thing....but thankfully I don't watch the show for just 2 characters!

Uh, Bianca fans are hurt too. Not to mention this Jesse/Angie fan who's simply just not feeling their storyline. And let's not forget we've got to endure Rylee/Aidan/Annie. And it seems they still can't really find a storyline for Tad that lasts more than a few weeks.

I love the assumption that all longtiime soap fans want the same thing. I've watched AMC on and off for more than 25 years and I've enjoyed the tornado storyline although it's had some weak spots.

Bianca's story has a lot of people pissed. So does Jesse's. The discussion of the war also upset some people. I'm not bothered by any of it

‘DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ MATCHES A 20-WEEK HIGH IN WOMEN 18-49 AND A NINE-WEEK HIGH IN WOMEN 18-34

Posted on 23 October 2008 by Bill Gorman

via NBCU press release:

‘DAYS’ TIES FOR #2 IN WOMEN 18-49 RATING FOR THE WEEK OF OCT. 13-17

FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW, ‘DAYS’ TIES FOR #1 IN THE VALUABLE WOMEN 18-34 CATEGORY

BURBANK, Calif. – October 23, 2008 – For the week of October 13-17, NBC’s “Days of our Lives” (1.3 rating, 8 share among women 18-49; 1.0/6 among women 18-34) tied for #2 in the women 18-49 category and tied for #1 in the women 18-34 demographic. This is the second week in a row “Days” has tied for #1 in the valuable women 18-34 category.

“Days” matched its highest women 18-49 rating in 20 weeks (since May 26-30) and matched its highest women 18-34 rating in nine weeks (since August 11-15).

Season to date, “Days” is tied for #3 in the women 18-49 race and tied for #2 among women 18-34.

Ratings reflect “live plus same day” data unless otherwise noted. Season-to-date figures are averages of “live plus seven day” data except for the two most recent weeks, which are “live plus same day.”

So Days tying for second in 18-49 means that GH dropped in the 18-49 demos.

Oh? That's strange cus I am a long time fan and I love the tornado storyline.

It was extremely poor writing for everyone except may JR/Babe.

Well that is your opinion. This long time thought the writing was awesome.

Yeah, there's no way GH got #1 (Y&R did) and GH has been second or tying for second forever, so barring a fall from their home base they probably did the same this week, which would give us this so far:

1.(1) Y&R

2.(3) DAYS 1.3/08 (SAME)

2.(2) GH 1.3/08 (-.1)

This long-time AMC fan has been loving the tornado and fall-out.

That said, I'm don't think the ratings will be anything to cheer over. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if AMC went down. I don't think anything can really change things for AMC.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

I imagine the writers considered dramatizing the scene involving Madison, Chelsea, and Willow but decided it could easily backfire from a medical perspective. Either Willow would've had to go WAY over the top with her observations, or else her commentary would've come across to many viewers as completely reasonable, especially with Chelsea sitting there smiling & encouraging her, while Madison frowned in frustration. The end result, unless Willow was presented as TOTALLY bizarre, would've appeared that Michele Val Jean supported the position that a "smile and a crystal" are more effective than an antibiotic in clearing up an infection, and I don't believe that's the impression BTG hoped to give.
In this case, it was probably better for everyone to discuss it afterwards to highlight that Willow is down in an internet rabbit hole, and Chelsea was encouraging it.
As Anita said today, "I thought Aunt Melba was completely normal and fine in the brief amount of time I spent with her, but I realized Vernon and his mother had FAR more experience with her than I did."

Wow, this is the first time I've seen footage of Elizabeth MacRae on GH, and in color too! She's great!
Lee was such an important character to the show, but you'd never know it watching from the mid-80s on.

I totally agree! Their "relationship" is so pity based... it's almost embarrassing to watch. A guy who got rejected by the woman he reaally wants, and to soothe his bruised ego, he lets his eccentric best friend think they’re an item. She treats him like he’s some kind of deity, acting as if he’s God and everything he touches turns to gold. This is what they call "romance" . And now... after Luna lost everything because of Max's tired penis... she’s still the one going to lawyers to save his precious Serenity Springs. Everyone seems to have forgotten she lost her radio gig too. Why isn’t Max out there fighting for her show? Maybe because it’s not his problem, he is so selfish... just like Blair. And as you pointed out, he’s no prize - just a fading playboy. I actually liked the other actor better, the one I saw during the Alex Olanov hysteria - he was a darker, classier version... while THIS right now is supposed to be this "HOT", cute butt in a denim-guy that makes women lose their marbles with one wink. UGH. Luna should be dumping him and getting back to her radio show. Being the outsider looking in... the role she had in the beginning. Why do we need YET another romantic heroine is beyond me. We have ENOUGH of them.

I agree. One of my initial complaints... and they are still doing it too much... Lazy writing.

There is something to Donna Mills in the same regard. Especially as Abby got more and more power for herself, she played her calmer and calmer as the years progressed. Abby is still calculating, but I can’t think of many times any of the three of them went full Valene or Karen. And I love those ladies, don’t get me wrong. But Joan Van Ark can be very histrionic and mannered, and Michele Lee is very soapy in the traditional sense.
The year after Sid died, before Mac arrived, Lee does a lot of quiet, beautiful acting in several episodes. But she can go balls out and did quite often. The whole Chip/Diana story is when it gets really noticeable to me. That run she does to find Diana has left at the end of season 4 is almost comical in her mannerisms and she doesn’t say a word.

The storyline with Madison feeling unsupported by Chelsea with her mom is actually interesting because it's different and topical without being overly political, but maybe it would have been nice to like, show it? They are getting to be like Y&R, too much narrating. We should be seeing the dynamics of dinner with her mom instead of being told. It could be done at a restaurant if creating a house set is an issue.

I just finished the book! overall it was a pretty good read...definitely more told of the POV and research of a fan which isn't a bad thing (going by JT Cornell is actually clever and hilarious!) and kind of more of a year by year recap of what happen on the show with little anecdotes thrown in. I definitely would love to hear more BTS stuff about certain stories and more of the actors words when it came to doing certain scenes and trying to make sense of the some of the more out there stories. It was good to learn a bit more about JER though. For as crazy as his storytelling was, it seemed everyone in the industry respected his ideas he bestowed upon daytime.

That was crazy to find out how affected Rodney Van Johnson really was at playing the "angry black man" and how he got PO'd at Chris Maleki's Spike for throwing fake punches at him ( I don't recall them fighting on the show though) That's scary he had to really wind down after filming to get all the anger out.
All the love for Ben Masters and the cast not knowing what was really going on with him before his death made me tear up a bit. I didn't realize how much he was involved in Tracy Ross's kids life too!

They even have quite a few paragraphs devoted to the the music having to be replaced on the SCI Fi and Superchannel rebroadcasts which is of course what I always complain about too! LOL That's why I always want to see the original broadcast 1999-2001 episodes pop up more where the music isn't messed with.
