Members NYC123 Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 These ratings are very volatile. One week AMC is last, then GH, now OLTL.... Yeash.... UGLY numbers in the demos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 4, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted December 4, 2010 Thanks for catching that! It's been corrected to +30,000 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 GH deserves the ratings it gets. The show has sucked for years and they deserve those ratings for using one of their biggest stars ever as angst to prop up those losers Sonny and Dante and be the pawn in their lame father and son wuv/hate story. That makes me wish Vanessa never came back. She and the character of Brenda deserve better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 They havent mentioned their ratings in a long time which means they are sucking ass ratings....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Yeah, last I heard, and I don't know if it's true, was that they were doing worse than GL in total ratings and in demos, which, even with less of a budget, isn't great. I can see why they canceled GL but they should have put a better quality show in its place -- LMAD, like today's Price is Right, just seems like no one gives a damn. The total silence which comes from that show doesn't tell me it was a great move. They might as well just show reruns there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 The ABC soaps are essentially in a statistical tie in HHs and demos. I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news. The bad is obviously that the numbers aren't good at all, but the good is that there is a very consistent audience who watches the ABC block from start to finish. Despite its struggling numbers, the lineup is dependable, which I wonder actually counts for something with the ad guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Over the last 4 weeks GH is up +140,000 viewers. However, GH remains below it's July pre-Brenda ratings and demos. GH 2010 Monthly averages: Jan 2010 2,707,250 880,750 ----> #2 Feb 2010 2,864,500 1,000,000 --> #1 Mar 2010 2,575,250 887,250 Apr 2010 2,666,200 878,600 May 2010 2,560,750 854,250 Jun 2010 2,397,750 789,250 ----> least viewed month Jul 2010 2,538,600 806,400 Aug 2010 2,562,000 829,250 Sep 2010 2,573,400 851,000 Oct 2010 2,439,250 772,000 Nov 2010 2,425,250 776,000 ---> 10th Meanwhile, OLTL lost ground from October which was its highest viewed month since Feb sweeps. 2010 Monthly averages: Jan 2010 2,489,000 708,000 ---> 2nd Feb 2010 2,599,750 772,000 ---> 1st Mar 2010 2,395,266 716,400 Apr 2010 2,326,818 662,800 May 2010 2,375,000 725,250 Jun 2010 2,300,467 665,600 Jul 2010 2,358,524 653,400 Aug 2010 2,273,000 657,250 ---> least viewed month Sep 2010 2,344,750 675,250 Oct 2010 2,427,250 663,500 Nov 2010 2,368,000 643,250 ---> 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Of course GH is lower than pre-Brenda ratings. Her return story has sucked from day one. GH fans have been screw too many times regarding return stories the last few years. They were not going to come back for Brenda's knowing Guza was writing it. GH fans had enough after seeing Laura, Robert, Anna, Holly, and Noah get screwed with their returns. Not to mention you have a show that as a whole is horrible and was horrible before Brenda came back. P.S. Turning Jax's brother Jerry into a homicidal maniac with a new face to yet again prop up Sonny and Jason as heroes didn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Well, even if the numbers suck, I am satisfied with GH for the week. Monday's usually have pretty good ratings on GH, and the ratings sucked this week. Tuesday's ratings were a joke. But the show jumped 179,000 viewers betwen Tues and Wed. So I am satisfied to see that the Thanksgiving episode (with the Q's Spencers and Davises) was the highest of the week (up 11,000 from Monday and 179,000 from Tuesday). If you average their gains for the week, they gained an average of 95,089 viewers between Monday and wednesday (adding the 11,00 gain from Monday-Wednesday and the 179,000 gain from Tuesday to Wednesday). So if they can gain that many viewers for an episode featuring veterans with NO advertisement or announcement, don't they see how many people would tune in of those people got a STORY that was written well and PROMOTOED?

Members TeamEric Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 No argument Guza's written VM a horrid return story. However, take a closer look at the numbers, in August and September GH was holding its viewers pretty well. The show started to lose viewers in October: Aug 2010 2,562,000 829,250 Sep 2010 2,573,400 851,000 Oct 2010 2,439,250 772,000 Nov 2010 2,425,250 776,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cyberologist Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 The major storylines on GH are newbified in top tier story you have Lisa dominating the Robin / UnFatal Attraction storyline and now the story seems to be more about her than Robin and Patrick...Everyone on the hospital end has been dummyed down you would never believe she is Anna/Robert's daughter...Lisa is cunning, diabolical and outmaneuvering a screeching totally off the rails Robin. Nik and Robin who have been good friends forever who helped him several times he's siding up with Lisa. Thus far the whole hospital storyline revolves a character that just came on the canvas last year via another actress. I don't even see her uncle the police commissioner actively investigating Lisa on or off the record no one is. LnL2 fans got baited and switched with JJ's return they thought they were going to get old school LnL2 only to see them demolished Elizabeth written fickle to pine after a Lucky who comes off smelling like a rose. She is the heavy with a double triangle with Nik/Brooklyn on the otherside and Shiobhan leeched to Lucky them using Enations song for their scene didn't help matters ... Brooklyn isn't new but she is a return...who is isolated from the Qs holing up at Wyndemere, with few scenes with Tracey or her Godmother Brenda who I don't even think has seen Emma yet. If she did I missed. SnB two newbies Dante / Claire eating up serious air aren't needed in this story Sonny and Brenda have enough history to carry them....now here we go with a secret with this awful uneeded backstory w/Dante and the Balkan...All the vets are written like crap against newbies who are getting the writing. No matter how much you root for the vets they are going to get thrown under for them... Then there is Maya and/or Ethan storyline I can't even figure this one out yet... yep the #s were holding two months of her return and when Sonny banged Claire they lost 263,000 so I guess that was the last straw some of the fans of old-school SnB fans bailed. Them having Luke marry Tracey on Laura's birthday and have her daughter as matron of honor fine and dandy with it has ticked off some veteran LnL fans I post with. It is no need for this so I can only ask myself why? I mean the show kicks oldtimer's in the ass at every turn. And these are just a few examples there is so much more a series of perfect blunders e.g., dropped storylines, continuity but hey SOD says its the most outstanding soap of 2010; the best one out here so? Who am I to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 I swear Guza holds a big grudge against the L&L fans that fled his show years back and panned him in the mags. He spits on L&L every chance he gets in retaliation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
