It appears that DAYS is gaining mostly in younger viewers, so the former Passions stars being there had to help somewhat, not to mention many high school and college students being home. Also, in September, DAYS switched back to its 1:00 PM timeslot in the NYC tri-state area (the biggest television market in the country). For the 2007-2008 season, they had switched it to the 2:00 PM timeslot, where it was in direct competition with OLTL and ATWT. It also switched back to its original timeslot in a few other affiliates.

Anyway, Higley will be writing the show's finale, that's all but set in stone.

It's hard to explain but the HH rating has a different formula, I think and someone correct me if I'm wrong, the HH is how many people where watching TV during that particular hour and the share the particular program had of that viewership. I could be completely wrong.

HH's only measures how many Households are watching and has nothing to do with how many people are watching.

1 household may have 5 or 6 people in it but it only counts 1 time but in viewers it will count all 6.

The Viewers can be higher this week for the same Household number than last week simply by one week have bigger households viewing. Last week it may have been smaller households.

*********************************

So that has nothing to do with ABC spinning it. Viewers are calculated by the size of the household. ABC can't change that or spin it.

I wonder if the people who laugh about stuff like above will be laughing when their show is gone and they can see their faves ever again.

Oh and one more thing. Stagnant is not always bad.

Remember just this year alone Days remained stagnant at 2.0 for weeks and weeks and weeks. Look at them now.

Ratings have got to stablilize before they can go up. For quite awhile now the ratings have slowly been going down for both AMC and OLTL just like they did for DAys.

The stablilzing and getting stagnant with no big fluctuations is actually a good thing. It means that more of the fans are actually sticking with it. AMC needs that. OLTL does too.

Frons and Valentini viewing this weeks ratings.

Frons: Damn, Dena that [!@#$%^&*] is beating us in the ratings!!!!! She never got high ratings for us on OLTL!!

So nice seeing a 4.0 for Y&R on Friday!!

My other show got a 0.6 in the 18-34's just above GL- PATHETIC. All of its demos are PATHETIC. Its viewership numbers are, you guessed it- pathetic.

Once again, That Valentini must be the budgeting MASTER for OLTL to be making any money for ABC. Not one good demo, other than teen girls.

But Soapsuds you certainly are enjoying the gawd of soap's failure, I am sure! Well with his ratings, We will probably be getting Jean Passasante has our new headwriter soon.

Days must be somewhat watchable! My god its the only show with significant ratings bursts. Its crazy. I have to assume that Dena's writing is not that bad? It actually makes me ill that her writing is bringing in the viewers- but so be it. She's doing something right.

When I look at GH and OLTL- I really do believe that ABC is just waiting for all of their shows to die.

And I am actually glad to see GL hit 1.6- I feel bad for those poor actors freezing their asses off.

The only one of Frons' shows that I feel deserves bad ratings right now is GH. I just cannot watch it. It is also the only one that has not made any changes.

Both AMC and OLTL have gotten better with their balance and changed many other things about the shows such as stories not being about the same damn people. GH has not done that.

GH is still not stablilzing their ratings either. AMC and OLTL are. Them staying stagnant as I said is a good sign.

I am enjoying both shows more than I have in a long time. They are not perfect and still need some work but compared to a year ago AMC esp. is miles better.

I wish I could say the same for GH and ATWT.

Yup!

And you can have Jean Pissy.

The only story I have noticed is Nicole's story and the baby. I dont get why Samantha is at that place hiding. And I love seeing Eric Martsolf on the show. Thats all I know. But since it isnt my show I am enjoying it for what it is.

:lol:

    • 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.
