Toups

LOVE them, they're the only two soaps I watch daily - but I just don't see any other network or netlet picking them up - maybe it's the economy, maybe not, but I don't know that the budget would be there for anyone since everywhere I look it's all this reality show trash that probably costs next to nothing to make and people seem to swarm to.

UGH!!! Does the Neilsen Family have something against CBS and P&G??? I just can't believe that few people watch these shows that swirl around the bottom of the ratings heap - everything is digital this and hi-def that, isn't there a more accurate way to measure viewership? I'd bet dollars to donuts that Neilsen ratings are off by at least a few million per show if not more from how many people are actually watching.

I agree about everything you said. I just hope there is someone out there that will pick them up before they keep hitting new lows like last week a very bad week again. I hope toups was playing around, but he is not about the new lows for the 3 cbs soaps.

I think your right they have to be a few million off there is no way they can keep going this low, I know the writing is bad but come on it isn't Passions 2.0 like how there ratings went down. I don't want any of them canceled, I like all of the soaps now they are all good right now even tho the writing is bad for some of them.

They really have... and I hope the ratings start to reflect that a little more. I know ratings and HH aren't the be-all-and-end-all, but it would be nice to have somthing to point to when the nay-sayers get a bit much.

It shouldn't surprise me that all three dropped again. They are all horrible to watch right now. Bradley Bell didn't get any genious genes from his papa, William J. Bell. The show is boring and dull.

Goutman and Pissanante continue to clusterfuck ATWT with horrible stories/actors in the roles. Why these two are still in power is absurd, ridiculous and outright stupid.

GL just treads along until its cancellation in September.

So I guess CBS is in major trouble. At least Y&R is moving along hopefully in an upward direction number wise. I am NOT a fan of ATWT but I feel badly for GL for so many reasons but the dropping ratings is just how is goes when a cancellation is announced. For the past couple of weeks I have been watching AMC, B&B, DAYS, OLTL and Y&R. I happen to be enjoying them all at the moment.

    • 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.

    • Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.
    • It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.
    • I cannot believe there is a whole storyline about the Abbott house renovation. They really are grasping over at Y&R. I don’t see a big difference in the set. It is refreshed. Why make a storyline out of it? 
    • Cady is using what sounds like a transatlantic accent which is so odd these days. Sharon's hostility is entertaining already. That look she gave Anita when she opened the door was pure attitude.
