Members Kryptonite Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 It sounds like from many reports that I was reading that there was a glitch on Friday in a number of systems listing GH as a rerun. I kind of had a feeling there was a mistake made because there was no way GH would've dropped like that with Blair from OLTL coming in. I would like to see an adjusted number of this date next week. DAYS the last couple of weeks has been doing pretty well lately now up to 2.5 million for the first time in months. With Lisa Rinna back next I'm expecting DAYS to have a pretty good month of March.

Members Kryptonite Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 Interesting article guys that was posted on TV Guide today about how Katie Couric appears to be admitting that her new talk show needs the GH lead-in to succeed. Katie and Jeff Zucker wants ABC to cancel The Revolution and move GH to 2pm. The article explains this might be one of the unique things that saves GH if ABC still had any immediate plans in cancelling GH. On Katie's part this is actually a smart move as this gets some heat off of her show and it keeps GH fans and soap fans alike happy. Katie will actually have a decent lead-in instead of a dead one. This can help ABC throw away some of their negative image in daytime in the future if their able to keep GH for a number of years. It's amazing how important it was for The Revolution to bomb as it has and for GH to have this recent resurgence in the ratings. It looks like Katie and Jeff are putting pressure on ABC to move GH to 2pm and they'll likely listen to them since they have to keep them happy. Personally I think it makes Katie look smart and selfish at the same time as it looks like she refuses to have her show only be known as another soap replacement but if this keeps GH on I don't care I'll be happy.

Members DRW50 Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 I have a hard time believing that Katie would ask for that, mostly because she would have no idea of the ratings GH would get after a new timeslot, and because ABC says the soaps are too expensive to keep. If GH is more expensive than The Revolution, will she pay the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 The cynic in me says that this is a smart PR stunt by Katie and her team to stop soap fans from attacking her show like they have the other soap replacement programming.

Members DRW50 Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 I could see that, although when the show is canceled some fans may blame her even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 But with this story out there Katie can claim that she tried to save GH. It is the network that would not budge so don't blame her and watch her show. If ABC does decide to keep GH, Katie can claim credit. Leaking this story is win/win for her.

Members DRW50 Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 I just feel like people will either blame her, or hate ABC even more and be less likely to watch, due to false hope. I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of those fan rumors which blew up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yup, that's what happened to me. GH didn't record on Friday because the description was the same. I had to make the effort to catch it on Soapnet (a luxury that will not last much longer...). Too bad for them, cuz that's not an accurate report of what could've been.

Members Eric83 Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 I love how GH's ratings got better as soon as RC started running. Their dailies have gone from almost below 2 million, to being able to pull 2.5 million three days this week, and who knows what Friday could've been.

Members aMLCproduction Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 Who was angry? Honestly I do think GH will be saved. Esp if Ron can pump up those numbers in the next few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 While virtually everybody else here was saying "GH is dead in 2012," I had always predicted that it would limp along until 2013. The almighty Frank and Ron have little to do with this; rather, one didn't have to have a crystal ball to realize that The Revolution was a poorly thought out show which would have horrendous ratings (thus sparing GH from the axe for one more year).

Members JNewt Posted March 11, 2012 Members Share Posted March 11, 2012 I think GH is saved as Anne Sweeney was going to cancel the lowest rated program on the block to make room for Katie and that's The Revolution so bye bye Revolution. I think ABC ends up making a temporary move of putting GH there at 2pm but still looks for a replacement for 2013. It'll be real interesting because Frankie V. knows how to make GH cheaper effectively. I can't imagine ABC is still not profiting with AMC and OLTL out of the picture. GH might also end up becoming a ratings force by the fall where its consistenly challenging B&B for 2nd place like OLTL was this past year. One last thing can somebody fix that unwatchable mess over there at Y&R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gina90 Posted March 13, 2012 Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 someone said that GH has 2.9 million viewers (the week of march 5) I dont know if that is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted March 15, 2012 Members Share Posted March 15, 2012 Where r the ratings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JNewt Posted March 15, 2012 Members Share Posted March 15, 2012 I heard about it but I'm not sure if its true yet as that's insane considering The Revolution only had 1.4 million viewers last week. That's like 1.5 million viewers for GH. INSANE GROWTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
