Since they hae been showing that dog show on Thanksgiving it always gets better ratings than the soaps. A few years ago it was up in the 7's though - so even it has dropped some.

I wish all of us could somehow get hold of some local ratings. I look around for them all the time.

A few months ago a local station out of Knoxville released their daytime ratings and Y&R was in the 7's in HH's.

And these were recently posted at Daytime Royalty. They are overnights for Dec. 1st from Naples, Florida:

#62 Television Market: Ft. Myers-Naples, FL

Overnight Household Ratings

Monday, December 1

1. Young & The Restless 5.0/14

2. Price is Right 3.5/9

3. As The World Turns 3.0/8

4. Days of Our Lives 2.9/8

5. Guiding Light 2.6/7

6. The View 2.5/6

7. General Hospital 2.2/5

8. All My Children 1.4/4

9. One Life to Live 1.3/4

By the way, B&B does not air in this market. In case you wonder where it is at. As you can see just like Knoxville this is a big CBS market.

Oh dearest Rhino. We were on he same page once again! I was going to post the same thing.

OLTL seems to have gained an additional 100,000 viewers 3-4 weeks ago that have actually stuck around.

I have not been this "into" OLTL in a decade. It is very watchable drama. And I look forward to it every day.

GH seems to be shedding viewers very slowly. I would love to see OLTL overtake it, but I doubt it will happen. GH seems to have the most -bounceback- power of all the ABC shows, its gonna take another stunt or something but I can see GH getting back up to a 2.4-2.5.

AMC seems to have kept a small portion of their viewers since sweeps, but not as many as OLTL.

In a perfect world Y&R would slowly edge back up to 4.0 and I would love to see OLTL hit a 2.2 or 2.3

And B&B deserves a 1.9. What garbage. They are very lucky to follow Y&R. Blech.

I hate DOOL (the producers/network,ect) It makes me sick that is does so well in the 18-34 and consistently beats or ties OLTL for #3- Corday deserves to watch his show sink after the way he has treated it and his fans.

It shocks me that it even does as well as it does, and it speaks volumes about the loyalty of its fans. OLTL does not have that kind of loyalty but I think that tide may be changing. AMC and OLTL should be fighting like hell. I would love to see them both kick GH's stunt/mob/stunt/mob ass.

Love this stuff! SOD put out a cool article years abouy the Nielsens in different markets years ago that is still reflective of today's ratings.

CBS kicks serious ass down south. Always has, always will.

ABC kicks ass in major cities, the east coast (NY, Boston, Washington) and west coast.

I live in Boston and everyone I know who watches soaps watches ABC, it was the same way in highschool and when I grew up in New York.

    • 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.
