Webmaster Errol Posted October 7, 2011 Webmaster Share Posted October 7, 2011 Well I'll take this back just because my friends at Nielsen say 1.9, so we must go with what they say. Sucks, but what can you do. Sorry folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 GO DAYS. Though still in last place its a good start. Days has benefitted the most last week post AMC. I hope they can keep this up. THe show is very good right now. I have no complaints. Y&R still continues to be dreadful but I am watching for this Devon plot as I love Devon.

Members JONNYSBRO Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 That means oltl had big build out of the chew. The chew crashed and burned by end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 I have to agree. In fact I agree with a lot of your post in this thread this week. I agree OLTL is losing steam and will continue to do so. Days is gonna be the hot show next. Y&R keeps getting worse. I am praying for a regime change by the end of the year. Nov sweeps are around the corner. MAB better get all the numbers up across the board. Esp those all time low demos. For weeks now. I think this is week three or four. And FYI Days has been very good. And you're right. The Sonny storyline is pretty much non existent at this point. I mean they said they were going to slow it down but Damn. I don't remember the last time it was featured.

Members dragonflies Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm glad the Chew's sucktasticness didn't affect OLTL's ratings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 It made no sense for ABC to have that press release bragging about The Chew doing the same as AMC, when that stopped after one day. They set themselves up for failure. ABC has set itself up for failure with this show from the start. You can say, "Who cares? It's cheaper," but that's not ABC's spin. ABC's spin is that the show as it is now is a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members skiman12082004 Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 Y&R is in so much trouble with that 2.8 on Friday. Something has to be done and fast. It's actually scary to see Y&R at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 I agree with you but it's not like AMC had huge numbers either...if they were going to replace it with something it should have been something a whole lot better than The Chew...a complete joke of a show. Eh..they dont care anymore..MAB will close the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TeamEric Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 We'll find out when PP launches in January, and not before, how many follow the shows online. This is an experiment with no precedent to predict its outcome. While The Chew is a horrible lead-in, AMC hit all-time lows this summer and yet OLTL surged to 3 year highs. That right there is evidence a bad lead-in shouldn't kill OLTL's performance. Besides, OLTL's demos been sliding down from its August highs for weeks before The Chew even premiered. OLTL 2011 Monthly averages: Jan 2011 2,541,300 619,500 Feb 2011 2,601,316 647,250 Mar 2011 2,447,130 594,600 Apr 2011 2,598,048 670,000 May 2011 2,561,667 647,000 Jun 2011 2,552,636 644,400 Jul 2011 2,679,450 640,250 Aug 2011 2,840,739 735,400 Sep 2011 2,725,190 662,250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shopgurl Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 The ratings for Y&R especially that Friday are well deserved. The sad thing is I don't think MAB cares if the show is going down the tubes and will possibly end up getting canceled under her watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kryptonite Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 The Chew's ratings are way below The Talk right now and there's rumors going around of some affiliates possibly pulling The Chew off their daytime schedules by November sweeps which starts late this month. The Chew is setting record lows for that timeslot in a number of markets around the country. That show is a clear disaster right now and its only going to get worse from here. Good to see DAYS rise big-time this week as I'm pretty sure old DAYS viewers and some AMC viewers were sampling it last week. I think if the quality keeps up then DAYS could be this season's OLTL. Speaking of OLTL their doing a great job of building off The Chew, that was my original worry was that The Chew was going to drag OLTL's ratings and it didn't it built big-time off of it. B&B is like the total opposite of Y&R right now. Y&R needs to do exactly what DAYS did and start a fire sale and rebrand the show because its clearly not working for them right now. Man its weird seeing only five soaps now and soon four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 I can't see ABC giving up on The Chew in just two months after investing a ton of cash into this venture. But I remember what CF said that some affiliates were looking for any excuse to take back the time slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
