Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 29, 2011 Members Share Posted September 29, 2011 Oh and congrats AMC! I'd love to see (just out of curiousity) how the AMC jump compares to other soap finales. I also hope it sends a message to PP, amidst all the rumours of them focusing more on OLTL and AMC being back burnered, that there IS an audience out ther who has some interest and love for AMC and that the longer the wait the more that will fade.

Members Jonathan Posted September 29, 2011 Members Share Posted September 29, 2011 Sad that all those viewers tuned in yet there was no call to action mobilizing viewers to follow the show in January at http://theonlinenetwork.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 29, 2011 Members Share Posted September 29, 2011 Very true--it's too bad there was honestly no feasible way to start the online episodes the following week to try to capture *some* of the momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted September 29, 2011 Members Share Posted September 29, 2011 Tina going over the waterfall hit #1 for sure and I think Clint/Viki in the Wild West did too once. But by the time Rauch left, OLTL had fallen out of contention. Malone/Gottlieb's did manage surge OLTL back to #3 a few weeks in 1994. Nice to see AMC finale surge so high. +10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 Sorry Eric but I highly doubt that the ones that returned would have gone online to watch it. I think what will happen is the ones who watched regulary wont be waiting to see it online in January ..especially if they dont know about it.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 Oh by no means did I mean, or think, that even half or a quarter of the returned fans would continue on--but I do think *some* of them would--and hopefully will. And at this point every extra viewer for the online venture really does matter. Yeah, while some longtime fans still dislike what Gottlieb did to OLTL, I definitely get why ABC told her that what they wanted was a complete house cleaning. It seems like they brought in DePriest briefly to try to restructure the show, the way she came in to AMC in '89 to do the same, but it wasn't catching.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 Is 2.99 million the week average? If so, then I'm freakin' psychic. Somebody call Raven-Symone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks Toups Interesting that GL and AMC both generally got the same amount of uptics in viewers at the end while ATWT and Passions did zip for the most part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CouchTomato Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 Unfortunately, OLTL lost viewers in the week before AMC's last week: 9/12-16/11 Total Viewers 2. OLTL 2,668,000 (-148,000/+341,000) Households 3. OLTL 2.0/7 (-.1/+.2) I'm almost positive it got a boost as the lead-out from AMC's finale episodes but that's JMO. How will OLTL do now that it's famous (notorious?) as the campy soap between The Spew and GH? When can ABC's O&O's start asking to have The Chew's hour back to air more profitable programming like reruns of statue dedications, State Fair giant produce competitions and past holiday/sports victory parades?

Webmaster Errol Posted September 30, 2011 Webmaster Share Posted September 30, 2011 Looks like it BTW, based on averaging AMC's finale did 3.5 million viewers. Just thought that should be clear to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CouchTomato Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 There was a writers strike during the Old West storyline. ES has talked about TPTB having to stretch it out (using Miss Ginny who had become very popular) beyond its planned end-date. It was exhausting for her. I think the next writers strike (when Tomlin was the HW) screwed up RC's initial storylines and he was never able to recover from that. JMO.
