I feel a little better about Days ratings when you actually look at all the numbers. Days and Passions were the only 2 shows up in total viewers from last week and they were preempted in some major areas last week. Passions really was on Friday in 10 markets.

In HH's, Days stayed exactly the same as last week, the only show that kept both numbers the same. All the rest of the shows were dropped in one of the numbers, some in both. Passions was the only show that was up in HH's and it suffered more preemptions than Days.

And in all the key demos, Days either held it's own or actually had numbers that rose last week. In the men viewers, it and ATWT were the only ones that were actually up. So while the numbers are not that great, at least they are not really losing ground. The whole picture makes it look some better.

Word Steve!

Well OLTL slipped here and there..and remained the same on a few!! Hope the ratings are better next week.

Cool!

DAYS/B&B/Y&R are the only soaps in HH that are the same vs last year. The rest are down .2 and .3 from last year.

DAYS/B&B are up in total viewers vs last year

Why? Monday's show probably got the highest amount of viewers as it tends to do with AMC, despite the 2.7, 2.8 thing.

Why?

Because it usually goes down on Friday - and that happened to be the day when it got its higest rating and number in total viewers. That doesn't usually happen.

That's why.

Very good answer

The numbers for Days aren't horrible. The demos and total viewers are good and so is their numbers vs many of the other soaps from a year ago. B&B is the only one with Days that has maintained their HH since last year.

The ABC soaps have begun to drop and they should continue to with sweeps over. March is so bad for ratings usually. They along with NBC may get a small bump this week with CBS being preempted two days but even that isn't likely.

I swear if Days doesn't go up for this week I may not ever care to look at ratings again. They do not indicate quality otherwise Days and ATWT would be so much higher. Passions is in trouble though with those numbers and the show isn't that good right now.

You and me both. You know it's a bad sign when every other soap either stays the same or falls, while Passions ratings increase.

Oh well, OLTL's ratings should rise at least a little with all the stuff that is coming up over the next couple of weeks.

PASSIONS should be cancelled - it is a trainwreck!

If DAYS is really so much improved lately(as many of you tell me on the board), why do its ratings suck so much?

Passions isn't very good right now but no soap deserves to be cancelled.

In regards to Days, I won't even comment because no matter how hard I defend it isn;t gonna convince you.

Very well stated Phoenix.

Tell it like it is, Rick.

Once again I don't mean this ugly, but please always remember ratings have nothing to do with quality. I think it was Hill Street Blues (heralded as one of the best ever primetime dramas) who always had low ratings, and even it's first season in which it won many Emmy's was very close to cancellation.

A show can be greatly improved and still have low ratings. Right now one of the biggest things hurting Days is the supposed fans of the show who have deserted because their favorite couple is not featured prominantly on the show right now. Sorry but it is the truth. That has nothing to do with the quality.

Not being hateful but it is the truth.

ALRIGHT STEVE!!!

You hit the nail right on the head with that. That is everything I wanted to say and more.

I hope their ratings go up too Scotty. They have a lot of good reveals coming up, but as I said on another post here - so many of them are so long overdue my fear is that so many fans don't care anymore. I know I don't care as much as I did about them 2 or 3 months ago. They have just drug out so long, but I will stay in there and continue to watch everyday for now. I do know that many have quit watching because of the long wait.

And therein lies the problem. There is not a single storyline on OLTL at the present that I care about. If on Monday they started airing a month of vintage clips while they started from scratch on all the stories I'd be more likely to be excited than the so called reveals in the next couple of weeks. From reading around the net I know that I'm not the only one who is completely disheartened and simply wants the least damage done to what remains of the show.

Well now that ALL the ratings have been released they look alot better.

DAYS is up in Males, 18-49 Viewers, 12-17 Viewers, and Overall Viewers.

Too bad they didn't budge in HH or 18-49 or 18-34.

I would really like to see AMC beat GH. Only 54,000 total viewers separate them. Let's hope it will happen in next week's report!

Oh well, OLTL's ratings should rise at least a little with all the stuff that is coming up over the next couple of weeks.

Can I take that to mean that there will be less quad from hell and more movement with the current stories that have been going on for over a year or more? Please say yes
