Ratings for the week July 16-20, 2012

I hope Days rebounds in the ratings this week. I suspect all soaps will go up this week.

Wow none of GH's total viewer gain was in the key demo.

GH

Monday: 1.9/2,496,000

Tuesday: 1.8/2,399,000

Wednesday: 1.7/2,309,000

Thursday: 1.8/2,538,000

I guess we're gonna get a lot more singing.

Not sure why DAYS went up, although their 18-49 never seems to go up.

3.0s and MAB wonders why she was fired

Bc the stories that MarDar told were beyond boring! Younger people attention spans don't last long when crap is shown to them!

Thanks Toups!

Horrible ratings for Days!

B&B is still doing okay. Good for them.

When is the next sweeps period?

November.

Oct 25 - Nov 21 to be exact.

MAB is way down from even the LML days, when the show was regularly getting upper 3's and sometimes low 4's. I don't follow the ratings minutiae as some of you do, but do you think it's the storytelling quality that has ratings tanking, or has the downward trajectory pretty much been proportional with that of the other shows? I know the show is pretty crappy at the moment, but they've always retained their loyal viewers through thick and thin. I always attributed that to the show not being as unfamiliar as others have/had become and that it airs during the lunch hour in many markets.

Unlike DAYS, GH and even B&B, I blame Y&R's fall solely on the creative team. There are so many people I speak with who still watch Y&R and even they are sick of the show and rarely watch these days. That's not because of the rest of daytime, but because of the creative (or lack of) team.

Y&R has sucked for so long and these ratings are deserved. I, for one, am looking forward to JFP and JG taking over the show. And I am thrilled that B&B has remained so consistent and that they didn't go down featuring Marcus & Dayzee. As for DAYS, GT & CW can't start soon enough and I find GH extremely entertaining and I hope the ratings start really reflecting how fun the show is.

I bet the uptick was something to do with the rewrites starting to creep in this week. There seemed to be some actual momentum in the episodes that I hadn't seen in a long while. This doesn't mean it was much good, but it's better than it's been previously.
