Members metsfan5 Posted July 12, 2010 Members Share Posted July 12, 2010 That is what I keep saying. How does that man still have a job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve Posted July 12, 2010 Members Share Posted July 12, 2010 ICAM! AMC has been great lately and it's nice to see the ratings rise in all the demos. It's been so long since I watched OLTL regularly that I really don't care when it gets canceled or how low it sinks. Imo, it's gotten higher ratings than it deserved for the last 10 years!

Members Saving ATWT Posted July 13, 2010 Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 Agreed--ATWT is still very much in the game ratings wise. All shows move up and down in the ratings from year to year and World Turns happened to hit a rough patch. This is the third week in a row that ATWT has made year to date gains and the show certainly has the potential to keep moving up. CBS sees that the genre is almost dead and wants OUT; otherwise, the network would have demanded PGP replace Goutman and Pissy last year. What bothers me is that ATWT can not hold onto the Y&R/B&B lead. It is as if viewers flip off the TV after Bold and refuse to sample World. I'm pretty sure that this explains the cancellation. I think ATWT will be up to a 1.8 soon as gains continue. The show has actually been good as of late with lots of vets, returns, and decent writing. I would have to guess that Lucky Gold has taken over a lot of the writing because the show feels very different than under DK's pen. Kudos to Lucky Gold, guy is a good writer.

Members LoyaltoAMC Posted July 13, 2010 Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 Lucky Gold was terrible at GL. My guess is that Goutman essentially steered the ship for the last few months of taping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AS THE WORLD TURNS Posted July 13, 2010 Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 Actually it's the 4th straight week not 3rd. I can't believe ATWT went up 5 weeks in a row in viewers. B&B can't hold Y&R lead either. Y&R is on at lunch time in most area's and has the best time slots in other areas then any of the other soaps and other shows in daytime.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 13, 2010 Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 But this has happened with canceled soaps before--the last 3 months of The City's run it was the ONLY soap on ABC Daytime that was gaining viewers (the others back then were all steadily dropping them).
