Yep and in his house too you shoot a cop in your house?

a real mobster would never do this they would orchestrate a hit but

not in their house...

[NYC123]

Good for AMC. Still the ABC's top rated soap even with GH promoting Sonny shooting his son. Also a nice little move for AMC in the key demos.

Ouch to DAYS. I thought it would actually move up.

[Adam]

Ok AMC, keep this up during sweeps! Its nice to see some shows stringing together consecutive weeks where they gain. Its been happening alot lately.

[Mr. Vixen]

Glad ABC soaps did good...

OUCH to DAYs

[JaneAusten]

Sad about Days but happy about AMC. Good for them. With all the promoting that Dante Crap on GH got, they got, still only a tiny bump. Didn't Days get a huge bump for the baby reveal and I don't think that was promoted as heavily.

[Toups]

DAYS is lying low right now getting ready for the wedding, so if they stay above 2.9 million and 1.3 in demos, they should be okay.

[jdawg1077]

Took the words right out of my mouth. I don't see any "ouch" here for Days. Not every week is going to see gains, and they didn't suffer that big of a drop in total viewers. And all during a relatively quiet week on the show. I'm still in awe of how this show has turned around its ratings/viewership.

[Saving ATWT]

I really thought World Turns would have gained some traction by now. These are the best stories they have done in three years but back to last place we go and -370,000 for the year! They just can't hold that 2.0 and 5th place.

[Guest dc cubs]

I'm not surprised Days didn't hold their 2.3 HH rating. It's only hit a 2.3 a couple of other times since the Sami/Nicole slapfest. Too bad Thursday dragged the week down as the rest of the week had good numbers. If they had done better on that day they could have maintained their rating. I agree that this isn't a big ouch for Days.

I am surprised all the other soaps increased in number of viewers resulting in a rise or staying the same in HH rating.

[PhoenixRising05]

Days had one bad day on Thursday with the 2.0 so how is that an "ouch?" Losing only 84,000 and staying over 3 million for the week is not an "ouch" LOL. Losing like 200,000 viewers would be an "ouch."

Anyone know of any preemptions on Thursday? It's weird how Days was getting 2.2-2.3 every day but one day. That was a massive drop from Wednesday to Thursday followed by a massive recovery from Thursday to Friday. Just makes me wonder.

[Steve]

I'm really thrilled to see AMC doing so well lately and making these gains every week. Just think, this is before the move to LA and the change in headwriter! I'm optimistic that AMC may eventually return to its longstanding #2 spot in the ratings again.

[Soapsuds]

I thought ATWT was for sure going to hit 2.0 or better for last week. I thought it was the best week in a long time. When I see AMC tied with Days on Monday I know the ratings are unrealistic. Days is far better than AMC right now. AMC is poop!

[amazing7]

I agree with about Days being the better show right now. The writing sucks for AMC. It has been sucking for over a year now.

Kudos to Y&R. Kicking butt and taking names in the key women demos. Despite the complaints here, the reguar viewers are tuning in.

ABC has got to happy with GH's start to February sweeps. A couple hundred thousand people turned in for Sonny shooting Dante on Friday and most of them appear to be in that 18 to 34 demo. GH's remaining casual fans love the gun violence. We need to accept that truth.
