I'll be interested is reading your thoughts Errol but I don't think the Greys or even DH examples are comparable because those shows are, were anchors you build your lineup around. The shows have lost viewers for the same reason ER did and other strongholds. They have grown long in the tooth. Law and order was a powerhouse on Weds for years am I to believe the show lost viewers and was cancelled due to poor lead ins. How about American Idol or DWTS who have both dropped. TBBT is a perfect counter to that argument. It lost it's lead in and was moved as the lead show on Thursdays and blossomed.but it had a strong lead in as it built it's audience. If GH were a new up and coming show I'd buy that. And if GAA draws as many viewers and ends up equal to GH in viewers what exactly does that say about GH.

I concur that some folks probably watched the entire lineup of soaps and they likely lost some viewers as a result of that but anyone paying close attention to GH over the years knows it was the once a sweep stunts

that drew viewers in and those numbers always eroded in between sweeps until the next stunt. And dont forget up until recently GH always got promotional money and more cross promotion than the other shows did something they are not getting now.

To me it's all an excuse to avoid passing some blame to ABC and yes Cartini for just airing the same stuff and focusing on the same people the show has for years. I don't blame Cartini for the state of GH but i don't buy their hype as this generations bill bell.

I agree...all those shows Errol mentioned are old and need to be put to rest thats why the ratings are low for them. It didnt help that they moved those shows to compete against other powerhouses...cough...CSI..cough.. CSI still has better numbers than Greys. Grey is getting crushed by Person of Interest. The only reason they had higher numbers this week was because POI was a repeat.

As for GH ...I think its a combination of ABC soap fans leaving after 2 of the soaps being cancelled and its terrible lead in and GH is just old/worn out show.
