It is bad for people who have a DVR and can only record one show at a time. While the other schedule was ridiculous there were times where both AMC and OLTL aired where there is no conflict with other soap operas. I wish they would have even an overnight or weekend marathon, for those people.

I've only had a DVR for a couple of years, but I thought all of them could at the very least record two programs at once?

It depends on how old your DVR is and your provider. Some people have older systems or instead of renting a DVR from their cable company they buy a machine on their own. If you do it that way, you may only be able to record one thing at a time though it is true most people who have recent DVRs can do at least 2 shows. That being said, the cable companies can be awful about all of this as they charge so much for less service as now to get any programming even without a DVR I have to have either a DRT or a cable box though I'd rather not whine about that.

Well that sucks (and is new to me ) I always thought that was one of the benefits. I have had some serious issues with my DVR (or PVR as they seem to call them in Canada) with getting an expander for room. Sigh.

Hopefully, we reach a million next week considering Dimitri is back on the OWN reruns now.

That's putting a lot of the shoulders of Michael Nader. But I'm happy to see them looking better (in AMC's case a good bit better) with this schedule. I'm hoping OLTL improves a little bit next week if maybe some people got lost looking for it at 3:00.

Well, I didn't mean it like that regarding Michael Nader but you can't deny some people who are not in the "no" went nuts after seeing his return!!

These shows won't reach a million viewers - that's more than most of their hit shows reach in prime time!

I was talking about a million TOTAL not per day. They already have a 800,000 total viewer ship.

Happy for AMC

What happened Thursday?

OLTL's numbers are horrible. The show just isn't as good as AMC. There is no way O renews OLTL with these numbers. This is not good.

The first season was a cheesy love letter/fan fiction to Todd & Blair. The good stuff, like Clint's unraveling, came way too late. The potential umbrella stories, like the tattoo org and the drug ring, went absolutely nowhere. The younger crowd is over-exposed. There is a giant gaping hole where the 30-somethings should be. I honestly can't believe they left that to rot. That's basically your most vital group of characters and OLTL's 30-something scene is pitiful. There are a few horrible actors in vital roles. Don't even get me started on how they hinged the entire first season on two actors with limited availability.

Jennifer Pepperman seems like a lovely woman, but she needs to be demoted. She's fixed NOTHING.
