Wow, both "The Young" and "The Restless" have been No. 1 for 22 years? Haha... I don't get why they capitalize all of "AND"

Fearless Predictions

Y&R 3.5

B&B 2.2

Days 1.9

GH 1.8

OLTL 1.7

AMC 1.7

NY Times recently ran an article about the recent drop in cable subscription and the rise in younger viewers turning to rabbit ears. You've got to wonder if this sort of thing will help soaps. I more or less doubt it because close to 10% unemployment has done nothing to boost ratings.

So good week for CBS and bad week for ABC?

So good week for CBS and bad week for ABC?

Or maybe just a bad week for GH. Wishful thinking on my part. I want OLTL to be rewarded for showcasing its vets and older actors. I desperately want this to start a trend. I want I want I want!

Looks like I'm in for disappointment...

Oh well. Maybe I'll finally get that Lionel Train for Christmas this year.

Happy Hannukah

Well I am thoroughly enjoying OLTL, even actors I have never much cared for! But it is clear that OLTL is once again on a ratings descent... I hate to say it but the ratings do not lie. Hope I'm wrong.

From TVBYTHENUMBERS related to "The Talk"

“The Talk” POSTS ITS HIGHEST RATINGS TO DATE IN WEEK SEVEN

So, CBS is boasting about Y&R and The Talk and ABC has nothing? Must've been a bad week for them.

The ratings are just bad...I am surprised the ABC soaps are holding on to the 1.8's considering their dallies are so bad for the week. It's sad that The Talk has...households (1.7/06), viewers (2.32m) and OLTL is barely beating it in HH's(1.8/6) and 2.34 in viewers.........

The spread for the bottom four has increased but AMC/OLTL are pretty much interchangable. The Talk will beat them both soon. Remember when cold weather meant a ratings spike?

I remember when New Year's week meant big numbers for soaps! That hasn't happened in years!

Monday was a good day for soaps but viewers tuned out by the end of the week.

I honestly dont get all the praise for OLTL. Yea its good the vets are on more often but the show is all over the place. No consistency or balance at all.

The Talk will beat them both soon.

After seeing this weeks ratings ...I do too!
