So I guess for his many flaws, Sonny brought the ratings back up (wasn't this the week of Comedy Connie's latest embarrassment, which some said was probably MB's better acting display in recent years). That hasn't been the case for some of the rejects like McBain.

Hmm...I didn't even notice that.........It looks like this error was made weeks ago. Both the week of Sept 10-14 and Sept 17-21 both used the week of Sept 12-16,2011 as the year-to-year comparisons. I'll look into it a bit more but it looks like I'll have to redo the year-the-year comparisons for these past couple of weeks. sad.png Thanks for the heads up!

The wedding stuff was good tv. Those scenes were fun and the drama was good. I thought it was enough to be thoroughly entertained for those few episodes. It felt like a sweeps week and that momentum has continued into the current week. Im thinking it'll be met with similar results

same here bc it has been

It's a week off, for now, because the season started a week later this year. Last year it started on Monday, Sept 19, and this year it started on Monday, Sept 24. The networks place significance on comparing week 1, week 2, week 3, etc of a season at the beginning, but later on in the season, the networks will start to compare the correct week. I don't know when that week will be. That was the explanation I was given was. So I will not go back to compare "the correct week". LOL

Go frank and Ron there vision is totally restoring gh to its former glory. GH seems to be doing much better in an earlier times lot plus the chew is a good lead in for general hospital. I know they are not chew fans but that's some decent solid viewership for a show that's inexpensive. The chew and gh are proving to be a great combo and I am glad gh is being promoted on the show. Shouldn't abc keep this combo going for years to come?
