Toups, on behalf of all posters, I urge you to abstain from eating tomorrow so that you will be able to post the ratings in a timely fashion.

I second this request.

I can't wait to see Y&R's Friday ratings. It was probably my favorite episode of a storyline in YEARS! But it will probably get bad ratings, like every Friday episode of Y&R lately...

Word on the street is Toups will have his jaw wired shut every Thursday.

I think its gonna be a huge bore ratingswise this week.

I am sensing stagnation in all the shows from Y&R to OLTL.

Y&R- 3.6 or 3.7, last Friday was outstanding on that show but that doesn't mean anything anymore.

B&B #2, of course

Days- 2.2, no brainer

Stupid, unwatchable GH will be #4 with a 2.1

AMC will probably be back to a 2.0 or once again at 2.1

OLTL will be at a 1.9 or 2.0 (I am always expecting the bottom to fall out at OLTL for some reason, it seems to be holding the 2.0 though)

ATWT, 2.0

GL, 1.6 (Always curious what happens to a show once its cancellation has been announced, they generally fall by .1 immediately)

Last week was really Otalia heavy so I'm hoping that GL shows big gains!

It would be awesome if GL would buck the trend and hit 1.9 or 2.0- that show has never gotten so much press either!

Please let everyone go up.

Good idea.

It would be hilarious if GL scores big ratings during its final month on CBS. I want them to go out with a bang!

Rakesh if ER can get big ratings on its last day like it did last thursday then I think Guiding Light should too, I hope so that would be great.

To bad ABC doesn't do the press release anymore. At least we get a good laugh at what they try to spin.

LOL. You do. I think it's logical to assume that the shows ratings would reflect the quality of the show, no matter how many times it's proven otherwise. We just can't seem to let go of the idea that a bad (or good) week will show up in the ratings. The truth is the ratings are more about trending and what airs this week doesn't impact this week's ratings that much. So I fully expect the OLTL ratings to start trending downward soon, based on what's airing these days. It just takes awhile to impact the ratings.

Here are my predictions

1. Y&R- 3.7

2. B&B

3. Days- 2.3

4 GH 2.0

4. OLTL 2.0

4. ATWT, 2.0

5. AMC 1.9

6. GL 1.6

Amazing- are you the poster who always cracks me up with your AMC predictions!???

I would love to see OLTL knock AMC down (and not be ABC's lowest rated soap) but AMC is a strong #1 in alot of big markets and it seems to have stabilized (Are there a Gigi and Stacey on that show that I dont know about?)
