I honestly feel badly for Guiding Light. Those ratings are atrocious and during a sweeps no less.

I don't know what can be said about GL. Old Yeller's got rabies. He's suffering. It's time for someone to grab the shotgun, go out back and put the old dog down.

Damn ABC keeps on a bleeding viewers. Way to go Frons

I don't know what can be said about GL. Old Yeller's got rabies. He's suffering. It's time for someone to grab the shotgun, go out back and put the old dog down.

Ugh. I can't believe you said that! Clever lady, but eviscerating!

when will the new ratings be out? I knew due to TG it would be late... Monday? This batch will cover what I personally felt the weakest AMC week since Pratt took over, so I hope the show doesn't lose viewers (the following week was strong again).

I am particularly excited for this weeks ratings. I am really feeling Y&R and OLTL right now and I have high hopes for both... I am expecting OLTL to drop like a stone just like AMC did after the tornado- but it will be a shame because the show has been consistently outstanding AFTER the big reveals... And Y&R is just plain wonderful. I am hoping for a 2.1 for OLTL and a 3.7 for Y&R. And I would LOVE for OLTL to be #1 in Total Viewers for ABC again. Won't hold my breath.
