Wow Y&R is really kicking butt and sweeps has not begun yet. I love it.

[PhoenixRising05]

OH I WAS SO AFRAID OF THIS

NBC was on such a role and just going by these dailies Days and Passions will be back down to like 2.7 and 1.7 respectively. I mean its no big deal since both shows have been steadily getting viewers back and having the occasional off week, which is what this is and why I was afraid to see these numbers, but I would have liked to see them both stand pat in HH. Both shows were good last week its just that there was nothing attention getting about them. This weel was far better for both since Days had all the courtroom drama and Hope learning the truth and Passions had the Theresa twist.

I guess its ok-after all they did hold on to most of what they have gained since the middle of fall and you can't go up every week. NBC had a nice roll there and it had to break sooner or later. I think the numbers for this weel will be better.

The other shows don't look like they fared much better either so that makes me feel a little better about NBC. Must just be one of those weeks for daytime I guess .

[xDaysAddict]

Days was boring all week so I'm glad they dropped.

ATWT should be higher.did something special happened on monday? I cant remember.

[PhoenixRising05]

For once I agree with you. Even though I enjoyed it and thought it was good I think alot of people would have found it boring compared to the three weeks preceding it. That is why I was afraid of these numbers and was just hoping both NBC shows would hang on to most of their numbers and do well in demos. They didn't do bad but I guess I was hoping they would stay the same or close to where they were. I knew they were gonna go down though-upswings don't last forever. I do think the numbers will be better this week.

I also agree about ATWT-should be much higher. I am also happy that OLTL looks like it got better numbers then GH. That warms my heart somewhat .

[Ponz]

Looks like the classic JER pattern. The overall storylines are poor so when there is nothing shocking or attention grabbing, viewers tune out.

Maybe Ashford's return next week will give Days a boost.

[xDaysAddict]

except I Think this week was also boring just like last week was

I really want to see ATWT back to 3rd place.it really is a great show.I'm glad I started watching it.thank you JER!

I really dont think so.we have no Idea what will happen with Jack,but I'll be shocked if he has any lines and does anything else other then stare from the window and witnessing the pre-funeral kiss.

[dtchicago]

1. YR 4.2

2. BB 3.4

3. GH 2.8

4. OLTL 2.7

5. AMC 2.6

6. DAYS 2.6

7. ATWT 2.6

8. GL 2.2

9. PASS 1.7 (could be 1.8)

Surprising numbers if you ask me. I watched OLTL everyday last week and although it wasn't bad, I don't understand why it was the only soap to jump... but thats cool. I am surprised DAYS dropped so much.

[sheilaforever]

Huh, these numbers are everything but stellar. Mediocre ratings at best and I think this is well-deserved!

Nice to see that B&B did pretty good while the others fared rather lackluster...

BTW: What's up with the higher than usual Monday ratings? It's getting a pattern and I don't get why the usually hyped Friday cliffhanger always has less viewers than Monday's conclusion.

[pranji]

I'm not. Only the Zack story is worth watching, and it's been crap 90% of the time (IMO). Completely shallow. I've seen more emotion over dead pets and broken fingernails.

[PhoenixRising05]

No its not a typical JER pattern-Days and Passions viewership has been steadily increasing with the occasional slip along the way. Both shows were on such a huge upswing that they were bound to drop sooner or later and last week was entertaing but nothing that would draw anyone outside of the normal fanbase. This week both NBC shows, or at least Days, should get a boost since things are actually happening and they could also get a boost next week too. Not because of Matt but because of Zach's funeral. I will really be pissed if Days went down alot on demos. If their demos are good (same goes for Passions) then its not so bad. I knew Days would drop but never did I think it would drop to 2.6. I was thinking 2.7 or 2.8 but if was just one of those weeks on daytime I guess.

Wow-boy do I disagree with this. You may not like some of the stories but there is emotion all over the place. I wouldn't mind you saying its boring like XDaysaddict but to say there is no emotions is a complete misevaluation. I would like to know how you arrived at that conclusion.

[RogerNewcomb]

I think all the shows got a slight bump last week due to the high numbers on MLK day when a lot of people were at home that normally aren't so the drop this week looks more dramatic than it was.

[pranji]

1. JER and Corday have run the show into the ground. IA that this is falling right in line with JER's pattern. Big Gimmick = higher ratings for a few weeks - if that. Viewers then see the bad writing on the wall and tune out...again. Eventually, JER's shock and awe will cease to make any gains, but I doubt the show will last that long.

2. Gains? Only in a JER skewed world is it considered 'good' to regain losses after you've run a show to a new low of 2.4 (Third new series low to boot!)

3. I knew you would disagree with me, but I stand by my statement that all the stories are shallow. All of them. It is not a "misevaluation".

[dtchicago]

I don't really watch... it just sounds good. Maybe it would be better if it were done on another soap
