Members Angela Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Katie's show will probably get better ratings than the Chew and the Revolution. With the weak lead-ins, I don't know if it'll be enough to justify her paycheck. OLTL's surge started during Spring 2011. So "last year" would be much more accurate. They were regularly in 5th to 7th place overall before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think she will better The Revolution but I'm not sure about The Chew. Katie is one of those personalities who is despised by many, and I don't think she has the fanbase to balance that. I think many will avoid her show like the plague.

Members Angela Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 We'll see soon enough. Rosie and Oprah had those type of like it or hate it personalities too. I don't forsee 3 million viewers but I also don't forsee less than 2 million. I think overall Talk shows, Game shows and Doctor shows would fair better than Style & Living shows no matter who is hosting. It was a stupid decision by ABC to do Style & Living shows to replace the soaps. ETA: I think the ABC cancellation may end up saving DAYS or at least making it's death walk less shameful. ABC cancelled a lot of soaps in a small period of time and the displaced viewers appetite is not for the shows they replaced it with. A portion of these viewers will give the NBC, CBS soaps a chance for a while helping lift their afternoon line-ups more for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Not surprised about GH. Figured it would tank with how low The Revolution was going. Good for CBS especially B&B! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Angela Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Unless we're in 2013, it would be closer to 6 months than 2 years. The surge started in March 2011 and the show went off the air in mid-January 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Rosie had the whole "queen of nice" makeover when her show started, and then her ratings fell. The problem with Katie is she became a lightning rod for those who feel the media is unbalanced, and I don't think she retained enough of her fans from the "perky Katie" days. I do prefer talk shows, although I miss the old days of talk shows, not what we've had in recent years. Panel shows don't do a lot for me either. Someone wanted me to watch The Doctors because they showed an episode about people who take off their makeup. I get the idea behind this, but I just don't care about seeing it. It will be interesting to see how long the boosts for the remaining soaps last. B&B seems to have a head of steam lately. DAYS just can't pace a story to save its life - they undercut themselves constantly and many of the characters are bizarrely unsympathetic. I do think they've done a very nice job with Marlena's return, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Poor GH I knew ratings would crash after OLTL left the airwaves. Hopefully TPTB can do SOMETHING to save it. I hope the upcoming returns and OLTL cast members joining can help but at this point we are probably down to only 3 soaps. Never thought Days would outlive all the ABC shows lol.

Members Eric83 Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Have there been any major snowstorms? Could the other shows bumps be from OLTL viewers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 There was snow last weekend (east coast), which effected things Monday of this week....so not included in these ratings. This group came from MLK on Monday, and the storm that was in the east over this past weekend was in the midwest earlier (Friday or so)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 I used to catch at least the beginning of GH sometimes as I left the tv on following OLTL, but I dont even watch ABC daytime anymore. Not surprised to see a drop. I would say so. On this board, there's already several new people in the B&B threads, so Id imagine people are migrating elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm waiting for ABC to say they wanted these drops because those weren't the right kind of viewers anyway. I'm sure Frons would have said that if he still had a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 Ditto...GH is toast. That's a huge drop from last week. Although they only went up because of the OLTL lead in. Glad to see Days go up a little and B&B with still strong numbers.....ugh...Y&R went up.....It looks so weird to see only 4 soaps in the ratings.

Members Cyberologist Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 I read some OLTL fans are boycotting ABC so? not sure if its true but the writing isn't helping GH either. Very sad to see it last out of only four shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm not surprised to see it drop either. And it will probably only get worse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
