Ratings for the week August 21-25, 2017

Nice increase for Days!   It's almost tied with GH.

 

GH numbers are awful. A 1.6 in HH....yikes!!

 

B&B gets Y&R timeslot on Monday and doesn't count it? Dumb!  Those numbers haven't been seen by B&B in years....

I am glad to see Days of our Lives up in the ratings.

Wow with B&B lows

Yikes to GH numbers but now I wonder how low can they go without a major overhaul.

[dragonflies]

GH is getting GL type numbers, DAMN. I can't imagine this can go on much longer this way. Varni and Valentini both need to go.

Zzzzzzzzally and Mal appear to be the worst thing to happen to YR.  And Frank continues to produce trash.  ABC just needs the #s to go low enough so they can toss an alternative and get rid of GH.  Anyone who cared about this show would have fired Frank by now.  

[RavenWhitney]

I think Frank will be out when his contract ends in December.  I think Nathan Varni will manipulate Shelly/Chris stories for about a year.  Maybe Frank can take over for Mal Young on YR to prettify the show again. Mal can write story.

Lmao Frank would be the worst thing to happen to Y&R production wise.

I'd love to know the 12-18 year old teen demo. As it is, the 18-34 is abysmal. Next year, I'll be out of that demo range, and will help contribute to the older half of the 18-49. 

 

At this point, it doesn't really matter because overall, the only people watching are existing viewers, watching out of habit, from the time they were parents to empty nesters to retirees to nursing home residents. The target demos will continue to dwindle, the 55+ viewers will continue to grow until they, too, dwindle because viewers will literally be dying off.

If Frank exited GH then he would go to DAYS is what i think. I thought he signed a multi year contract. Honestly lets see what Shelly and Chris do at GH. Why not bring JFP back to GH? I think Jill with Steve and Shelly is very good friends with Jill. I am.not opposed to Frank exiting. Its been almost 6 years at GH.

 

Great news for Ron and DAYS. Its been a little over a month. Hope they continue to keep going up. The show is better then it was under Dena.

what happened why are rthese ratings low? Pre-emptions?

[ChitHappens]

No, the shows suck!

[JONNYSBRO]

 

 

Also July and August are the lowest viewing soap months of the year. Vacations and excessive repeats. I want to see what Shelly and Chris do at GH.

Pure excuses. Days of our Lives went up this week. That means if the soaps produce and write something watchable .....people will tune in.

 

Look at the higher numbers for B&B on Monday....B&B hasn't had that kind of number in a long time.

[dragonflies]

Please no, from what I read the ECLIPSE got spectacular ratings on ABC in GH's TIMELSLOT, better than GH gets. So that excuse of what month it is or blah blah doesn't wash

[Fevuh]

B&B's Monday numbers are likely just because Y&R airs in that timeslot in alot of the country and people probably tuned in to see that and just left their TV's on.  I turned it on about 12:55 or so because of the Eclipse coverage...overall everyone's numbers stink.  Continued record lows for 18-49W??  And B&B skews sooooo old.  They've got like almost a million more viewers than GH but the same demos....
