That is why Guza will be there till GH goes off the air(unfortunately)

And the implosion of OLTL continues. If only they had more promotion.

Oh, keep it in your pants, you angry relic.

I don't know what the hell happened on Y&R to cause it to go up, the show put me to sleep most of last week.

Maybe people are letting the TV stay on while they sleep. Like my mother would say when I sleep with the TV on. Why I'm letting the tv watch me?

Or people doing something else while they leave Y&R on.

I know your enjoying the downfall of OLTL. So am I. But the icying on the cake would be Y&R losing viewers too.

Jill Phelps has said it too. Obviously they don't want a 0.5 in total viewers, but it really is the demos that count for ABC. The 18-49s, and even better, the 18-34s, are all the advertisers care about.

I don't care what Phelps and Burton claim for purposes of public consumption. GH's demos are down from last year. There is no way that the network and the advertisers are happy that GH is still in 2nd place with these declining demos. The advertisers are paying ABC less money for commercials because GH's demos are lower which in turn means less profit for ABC in turn GH's budget is squeezed and there are more black out weeks and cast and crew cuts. Phelps and Burton can blabber on that things are good because GH is in 2nd place, but ABC very well cares that their profit is down. I can see Phelps and Burton touting GH is no. 2 in the younger women demos on the day it is cancelled. Fools.

Even if Burton said this, I seriously doubt that this true.

I don't either, and I seriously believe the Burton (and the people at GH are delusional), Burton and NLG try to convince people that GH beats Y&R in 18-49 demos back in September. I think they are living in la la land.

The best part about it is that GH is not even in 2nd place anymore.

I am not going to criticize Y&R last week, the show had some good moments and I liked that the ratings went up and I like that we had a lot of the veteran actors on during the week. Hopefully we can get away even for a little bit from the bloody Daniel/Amber/Deacon malarkey (and someone please assasinate Lame for me) that I think is boring and has gone on far too long and dragged the ratings down toward the end of the week but not by much.

I think the ratings are going to start to go up even if it is by a small amount once we get into the new year. At least I hope the # of viewers pick up. Frankly I think MAB is probably getting more input from CBS & Sony now, because the blooming show is so stale..so I am expecting to see some tweaking - starting to see some of it already. I do not believe for 1 second that Leslie Moonves just felt the need for "speed" and came out with his recent comments.

Nick walked in on Sharon with Adam then punched him out the following day.

That was the big draw? I guess I didn't find that nonsense of a storyline riveting at all.

Wow,this kinda debunks the argument that people are switching off Y&R in droves!

And the highest rating episodes of the week feature the much maligned Adam/Sharon pairing - who would have thought it?

Yay for Y&R and B&B!

Yes, because declining ratings is exactly what daytime needs right now.

I don't either, and I seriously believe the Burton (and the people at GH are delusional), Burton and NLG try to convince people that GH beats Y&R in 18-49 demos back in September. I think they are living in la la land.

IA. This demos nonsense they continue to profess to me is ridiculous. I'm not saying it's not important but as Y&R while losing viewers has seemed to gain in those demos, Days is bouncing back, how can they claim to be content with this. They have brought back a key actor, have a famous actor who is supposedly "hip" with that coveted demo and they still drop. And if things are rosey over there, why did THEIR actors also take paycuts, why did they goto a 4 day a week shooting schedule, why have they had blackout weeks. Certainly not because things are doing so well. And GMAB Days and Y&R have both cut also.

Y&R is actually the show that surprises me. For as bad as it is now, they've actually gained in those demos from last year. Why? no idea.

ATWT only has 10,000 less viewers than GH. It should NOT be going off the air.

Good for ATWT! Hopefully another network will pick up this show.

Yay for DAYS!! I'm so proud of this show.
