Members bellcurve Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Exactly. I really enjoy this show, as most can tell from the shameless avatar. Alot of people who have utter contempt for the show probably have never seen it. I have yet to hear anyone bark a valid argument other than "It replaced ATWT," "Les Moonves got his wife in charge," "It's a ripoff of The View." It's no secret that this show is doing "good:" women who watch soaps are sick of the misogyny and tastelessness that runs rampant on the soaps, and women who don't are probably looking for an afternoon alternative to the The Shrews. And again, thank you for the ratings, marceline/Lskreet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Very happy to see that last weeks' cliffhangers and the drama had an impact on the ratings, as I hoped they would! Thank goodness, sometimes quality does get noticed, although not often. Monday through Thursday were stronger in the ratings for AMC and that was from great cliffhangers and storytelling Monday-Wednesday. Thursday's cliffhanger was weak, and Friday was weaker in the ratings for AMC compared to the other AMC soaps. It is almost too perfect a correlation. Yes, all ABC soaps did better, but AMC was beginning to be seen as something of a particularly struggling soap, so this is still great. And not only good news in the overall, but also in the demos! However, the negative is, if this was Damon/Liza and Annie-driven, then that's not going to help when a couple of those characters are off the show. I prefer to hope it was cliffhanger and story quality-driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TeamEric Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 It's not cynical to acknowlege reality, marceline. BIG bumps across the board have little to do with soaps contents. Last week in December was the perfect storm for soaps with combo of holiday break AND bad weather. No surprise ABC soaps spiked up big last week as the Northeast had a major blizzard and that's its most watched area of the country. Anyhoo, that's why I like to look at the MONTLY trends: Over the last 6 weeks GH is UP 430,000 viewers and trending above it's pre-Brenda averages. Thus far Jan 2011 is beating its Jan 2010 viewership average but under performing in key demos. Trends watching July's pre-Brenda averages: Jul 2010 2,538,600 806,400 Jan 2011 with Brenda: Jan 2011 2,795,000 826,000 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 ----> #12 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 Dec 2010 2,580,800 780,000 ----> #3 Jan 2011 2,795,000 826,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 OLTL's Dec 2010 barely beat its 2009 viewership but was slightly down in demos.

Members bellcurve Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Oh surely you have something better to post about other than my "sweeping generalizations" and "judgments." No, "OMG! Hope OLTL went up this week! ON FIRE, BABY!"? No, "Let's see what next week's numbers are gonna do on a non-bad weather week before we start calling The Talk a success."? No, "Great work! Valentini, Carlivati, and co. are really putting their foot into this FAKE HD stuff."? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Good point. I had all but given up on AMC weeks ago. The only story I tuned back in to see was Damon/Liza because I wanted to see how the actors played it. Once they hit the sheets I tuned out for good. I'll come back for the birth of Baby Hubbard but other than that I've moved AMC onto the junk pile with OLTL. I'm done helping Frons keep his job.

Members marceline Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Okay, can we not have a OLTL/Talk smackdown this week? I was really enjoying the brewing Becky Herbst battle upthread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 a. ) I didn't start it. and b. ) I was looking forward to seeing more of that too. I wonder if they both skipped back over to SoapZone to continue the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 These shows really dont skew demo like theyre suppose to. While total viewers are good, the key demo should be a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Shrugs, I've never gotten all that excited about one week fluctuations which is why I post the MONTHLY AVERAGES. And sorry, I'm just NOT going to be impressed by former soap viewers dripping with contempt for fans who are still watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 The soap fans are aging and shows aren't attracting younger viewers to replace them. Even when AMC has a big spike up its demos rarely rise as they just merely attract former OLDER viewers. OLTL is in same boat pretty much. However, GH is the one soap who has had some pretty wild demo swings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 From what I can see it hasn't beaten OLTL as of yet. Will it? Hope not, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
