I saw the ratings in Daytime Royalty and Y&R is definetly not looking good

Those are the not full ratings they do not count DVR viewing and those are the same that soaps.com have have which are always lower.

These differences only matter to people who watch soaps which most people don't. To the "outsider" like Franco, OLTL, DAYS and B&B are all the same.

I'm not sure if they are all the same to the average viewer or not. Franco isn't exactly the average viewer. I know people who don't watch a lot of soaps and they can tell that those three shows have little in common.

From what i can see comparing our numbers here from last week (same day dvr) and those posted elsewhere (without the same day dvr), once we get the numbers it looks more clear now that Days is up (2.2 at least) in Household and amount of viewers,OLTL is up in household and amount of viewers , AMC is a bit up amount of viewers or same in Household numbers,GH same in Household numbers or bit up in amount of viewers , BB same, ATWT same, YR same,

I predict Days breathing down BB's neck

NBC +

ABC +

CBS = or -

Without a doubt, GH is the most violent show on TV. Whenever Guza runs out of ideas, he blows something up or someone dies in a hail of bullets. Obviously he's been running out of ideas a lot lately.

If Y&R falls this week, this will make it 4 weeks in a row that it's decreased in viewers/households.

That's not good and probably lays the road for yet another ratings erosion. But then again, Y&R deserves it for the sh!tty creative state it's in. Pretty bad, especially during a sweeps month.

It's the most violent show on daytime TV in America. But frankly that bar is set rather low.

well can we get a link so we all can see?

Y&R got a 3.2 but SOD numbers are usually .2 lower than the actually ratings. I think Y&R might be down again this week. Looks like ATWT is the same with a 1.9 with AMC and OLTL with a 2.0.

Thanks Ruxton. GOOD FOR Y&R. Keep going down and soon Y&R will making it's own HW change SOON!!!

Y&R went up.

Maria's excuse for falling ratings is probably "it's all by design!"

Her and her enablers deserve to be humiliated with a firing for their arrogance and atrocious storytelling abilities.

Ah, they went up a bit, after three weeks mind you. Oh well, I'm sure they'll be back to the lower 3's in no time.

Y&R went up.

That's sad.

Y&R went up.

How is that possible with SOD reporting a 3.2?? I think the show has hit the shits. I stopped watching all together. The storylines suck. I do like the vets being shown but the stories and pairings are just insane.

I'm sure this won't be this easy.
