Members Ann_SS Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 In other words, the weather improved and everyone is back to their busy lives. It has nothing to do with the quality. I'm glad GH lost in the key demo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dan Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 Ya know, with Gl holding steady at a 1.7, I'm wondering what that means for the other shows. If it truly is as bad as we think and the other shows drop, could GL tie or even surpass a few of the others? Let's watch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 GL: Cancellation Happens Here. Sorry, guys, I couldn't resist pulling out this one... No offense intended to GL or fans of GL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rocket Man Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 Mmmmmmm...what an oxymoron statement that you would say GL would be cancelled but no offense intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phoenix11 Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 I can't say that I wasn't hoping for more.. but I'll look on the bright side in that all the other soaps dropped and GL held steady. If GL can have Otalia front and center with Phillip, the show really has a chance to pull in more and more new viewers. To me, this week was even better than last week and next week looks to be a big Otalia week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 What's funny is, no can take a joke... Soap returns don't work anymore, find me a return, other than Vanessa Marcil, that's paid off in the ratings over the past 10 years? GL staying the same in households and 18-49 is good, but the days of soaps rising significantly are over, deal with it. Oh, and GL walked right into my joke with their tacky promotional campaign, and for that, I certainly have no apologies to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RalphOrtiz Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 Every soap dropped except GL. I'd say that's good news for GL. I'd even venture to say that, given its budget vs those of the other, more expensively-produced shows, and how close its ratings are next to OLTL and AMC, that the ol' gal just may stick around for a while.

Members Rakesh Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 None taken at all. When P&G posted a blog entry saying preemption happens here, that was the EXACT message I wanted to leave them... but I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dan Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 You are right, big splashy returns never work and never really have. However, perhaps it's some weird newfound optimism that I've found, but this is potentially great news. Although I think we all were hoping for some big jump, a one-week splurge means nothing. Nada. But if the show can continue to improve (and make no mistake, there are several areas in which it NEEDS to improve), then I can see the show rising gradually. In fact, considering that we are at a 1.7 heading into March sweeps could be quite good for the show if they can keep it up. Will they? That's for another time. But some of the rumblings have me guardedly hopeful. BTW: In a related note, what IDIOTS the Neilson Co. are for moving the sweeps to March, when typically most shows slump in the ratings, daytime included. If GL can rise in these conditions, that would be an incredible feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbFabGL4ever7 Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 GL Holding Steady at 1.7 is great. Let's just hope they continue to build on that and keep delivering good writing. Eventually David Kreizman's remaining stories will be phased out and JLH will have a firm grip on the writing. With Mindy and Michelle returning and others in the works GL might have fighting chance to survive to 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 Michelle is returning?? The ratings are bad. GL holding is good and bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
