Ratings for the week July 9-13, 2012

Remember back in the day when dozens 'n dozens of people were on pins 'n needles waiting for the ratings to be released? Sigh... those were the days...

Now it's just a ghosttown.

Well with 4 shows it's kind of anticlimactic and of course the AMC vs OLTL discussions that plagued this thread in more recent times is gone

Yeah.... I guess I was thinking back to the DAYS Salem Serial Kiler days...

A lot of the AMC/OLTL stuff was ugly fighting just for the sake of fighting (although I was a part of it too), and I think it covered up how little interest there would be in the ratings. The only interesting ratings stories beyond that in the last few years have been the rises for AMC under Pratt, the DAYS rise during the baby switch, and the B&B rise, which no one talks about because B&B isn't seen as a hip show like "Cartini" shows are.

Cartini is hip? Ugh.

SOAPY GOODNESS SOAPY GOODNESS.

Cartini is hip? Ugh.

I dont know you tell me....lol

That's Valentini? everyone says he's gorgeous, so not in that pic LOL

I dont know you tell me....lol

That doesn't tell me they are hip just dorky looking.

I was right there with you but I think it was about something else. I think it was people fighting for the type of soap they wanted to see. It was the Carlivatians vs the Nixonians.

I seem to recall it being more about the "right to survive". And in the end, it really didn't matter.

And I eagerly look forward to ratings every week. But it always pleases me when they're late.

I am enjoying GH more than I have in years. I would never say Carlivati/Valentini are the Saviours of daytime soaps but they are doing a damn good job at keeping my interest. I hope they increase. DAYS is a trainwreck and so uneven. Tomlin/Whitesell can't come soon enough IMO.

Those new writers can't come soon enough for DAYS. Just awful awful ratings.

Days numbers are scary. They look like GL numbers from a few years back. What happened on Thurs and Fri for such low numbers??

Remember the days when Y&R got 1 million viewers in the demos. Now they can barely break 800,000 viewers. Looks like the whole Phyliss rehash is a dud. Congrats to MAB for another ratings grabber.

I doubt the ratings will change much under Whitesell and Tomlin. They were failures before and will be again. Days is on life support just waiting for the plug to be unplugged.
