Either lower them or raise them??

I'm going to guess lower them, unfortunately. People are creatures of habit.

Will the new time slot affect the ratings? God, I hope so. If the ratings fall, then maybe ABC will think Frank and Ron are the problem and either can them or just cancel the f'ing show.

Bear in mind, of course, that if the ratings were to fall, it would be because of time slot changes. ABC, though, might blame the decline on the production regime. The suits always do.

I say lower them for a week or two. As the people who care adjust their DVR's and whatnot but it might be good for the streaming numbers.

In my market...Days second half runs up against GH first half hour now...well starting today.

"Let's see: I can watch the crappy soap opera...or I can watch the OTHER crappy soap opera. Decisions, decisions!"

If you have a schedule set on the DVR, there will be no need to adjust the DVR. The poor souls who can stomach either live will have a decision to make.

I think lower them for a bit. I don't see people either remembering or even bothering to change their day to fit this new time slot just yet. I get that FVRC are doing their best to get people to tune in today with this blatant location shoot, gun play and explosions gimmick starting today, but I don't think people are going to say "OMG! GH is going to have MORE shootouts and explosions! I have to get home to see this!" or what has become my personal favorite, "I have to adjust my recording device like Nancy Lee told me!"

Yeah, lose the losers!

You know, I love Julia Wainwright as much as the next SANTA BARBARA fan, but that bitch is starting to bug.

I hear you, boo... But I won't even let myself think that will happen. Not with this big, huge ABC/GH daisy chain going on, anyway. Which, from the looks of it, is currently being hosted on NLG's twitter.

No, seriously. She is working my last damn nerve. She, and Robin "Hollaback Girl" Strasser.

I get it. I understand she's trying her best to shill for GH, but at the same time, let's leave a little to the imagination. We don't actually need to SEE her performing rim jobs on Valentini and Carlivati.

Especially when they are beginning to affect the spelling and grammatical quality of her tweets.

Goes to show the type of audience a Valentini/Carlivati show caters to...
