Members DRW50 Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 So much of OLTL has been thrown around for the sake of the Fords, because the Fords are supposed to appeal to younger demos. And they get all time lows in 18-49 as a result. I know this will probably lead someone at ABC to blame the older characters (you can't blame the minorities anymore), but I hope, if ABC wants to keep OLTL around, then they can cut down on at least some of the pity the rapists/mouthbreathers hour.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 Not ONE soap up from last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 Damn terrible numbers for all ABC soaps. I had a feeling about OLTL hitting a new low in women. It happened this time last year too. The Fords are really bringing the show down. DAYS is doing pretty good. The only soap to go up this week. B&B has been below 3 million before?

Members dowwwe Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'm glad to see the slight increase in DAYS viewers. I'm hoping it sees an even bigger bump for this week's episodes which have been solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 Well, AMC and GH had a poor October but OLTL's average viewership for that month was its best since February sweeps. Alas, OLTL just can't sustain any growth for very long.

Administrator Toups Posted December 17, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted December 17, 2010 2,972,000 (May 24-28, 2010) is B&B's all time low in viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 I agree. B&B is only like 30K behind GH in Women 18-49 and B&B has never been a 18-49 show... I'm curious as to who on OLTL ABC blames now. Can't scapegoat the gays this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 I think maybe the correlation you find so elusive lies in the number of "quality" soaps that have been cancelled due to poor ratings. I can count AW, GL, among those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bella20 Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 I don't think that either AW or GL were worth anything when they were canceled. It was hard to even call GL a soap anymore, and honestly, it should have been canceled at least ten years before they finally pulled the plug. AW had been in the crapper for a shorter period of time, but it was still bad and almost unwatchable at the end. Soaps have been recycling writers and producers for decades, so it is not a surprise that the stories are stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 Quality is subjective, numbers are objective. ABC's lineup is essentially one 3-hour long soap with lousy ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
