Members Soapsuds Posted November 18, 2019 Members Share Posted November 18, 2019 GL got no holiday bump and was stuck at 6.4 rating. AW was nipping at its heels while SB was close to overtaking Capitol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted November 18, 2019 Members Share Posted November 18, 2019 I was just about to chime in, these weekly numbers show me that All My Children was not always a solid No. 3 during this time period as I had long thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted November 18, 2019 Members Share Posted November 18, 2019 Lol it’s like a good chunk of CBS viewers changed the channel of 30 mins! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pdm1974 Posted November 19, 2019 Members Share Posted November 19, 2019 SB at 5.2! I wonder what their highest rating was throughout their run. I still wonder how they might have done with DOOL as their lead-in instead of AW (as much as I also loved AW). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 19, 2019 Members Share Posted November 19, 2019 AMC did start to fade after Jacqueline Babbin had departed as EP. IIRC, by the time Agnes Nixon had returned as HW in '90, the show had slipped as far as sixth in the ratings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanessaReardon Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 You’ll see. And did SB ever beat AW in the ratings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 19, 2019 Members Share Posted November 19, 2019 I'm interested in seeing ATWT ratings during the summer of 87 when Lily paternity was revealed and Craig(Scott Bryce) departure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted November 19, 2019 Members Share Posted November 19, 2019 I never realised GH and Y&R had such a battle for #1 during 1986! That would have been exciting to watch unfold at the time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 20, 2019 Members Share Posted November 20, 2019 James returned from the dead in November sweeps and Margo lost her and Tom's baby. ATWT reached a high of #3 in the ratings with a 7.3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted November 22, 2019 Members Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) 3/20 was CAPITOL's final week; yet, the show was still doing better than AW, SB, LOVING and RH. I guess CBS still came out okay in the end. Imagine, though, if they had been more patient. At the very least, they could have insisted that John Conboy fire James Lipton and hire a more competent HW.

Members Soapsuds Posted November 22, 2019 Members Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) ATWT was on fire....late January had the Sabrina story with Bob and Kim looking for their long lost daughter...a story I didn't care for but apparently the viewers did. 2/20/1987 GH 9.7 yes they gained1.7 Y&R 8.8 ATWT 7.9 OLTL 7.7 DOOL 7.4 AMC 7.2 GL 6.7 CAP 5.7 AW 5.6 SB 4.8 LOV 4.2 RH 3 ATWT had a 1.0 gain too. Fans were loving Marland's stories. Hal had just hooked up with Barbara while James looked on and Margo found out....still had the Margo vs Barbara stuff....Lucinda and Craig....I think they had slept together...not sure..... GL was a hot mess in 7th most of early 2017. The show at the time had lost that luster it once had IMO. I remember them feature way too many newbies and younger characters. March 13th has them 1.4 away from ATWT although it followed Capitol which was only .5 away from GL who had a 6.0 on March 20th....

Members Soapsuds Posted November 22, 2019 Members Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Wasn't Capitol brought in to attract a younger audience? I don't recall exactly why it was canceled....if it was because of low ratings....being at #8 like forever or because it didn't garner those younger viewers they wanted. I just know the drop off in ratings after ATWT was big. It didn't retain ATWT audience. I personally hated the show and thought they shouldve stuck with SFT.

Members Soapsuds Posted November 22, 2019 Members Share Posted November 22, 2019 Just read that Sheri Anderson was writing GL at the time. The week of the 13th they were promoting Rusty and Mindy... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
