Ratings for the week August 19-23, 2024

Y&R yearly numbers are very alarming!

With The Gates premiering in January you would think that Y&R would make some changes in their HW.

Luna-cy is flopping as hard as expected. Bradley will never learn.

The show is number one in Women 18-49, which pays the bills. This is the second week in a row in which the show has outright beaten Y&R in the important demo, when not factoring rounding. That's a win for the show. Plus, a few weeks ago the show was pulling in 0.22s and 0.23s. It's now at a 0.27 (last week 0.28) while Y&R is only at a 0.26 (last week 0.25). It's not easy to beat your lead-in, but B&B has done it for the last two weeks, partially due to Danny and Christine, and Looney Luna.

Interesting. Thank you! I guess Y&R is flopping even harder than Bold. I am not getting a good vibe from the overall numbers though. Maybe I am wrong. Luna-cy is one of the most pathetic re-writes in soaps history. Maybe people are watching just to see how awful it is. I have no idea.

Oh, I don't doubt it was a rewrite. It's character assassination on steroids. RJ looks like a boy in a man's body who can't get it up, while Zende gets redeemed at the expense of Luna framing him for assaulting her and at the same time making her a murderer. It's so weird.

😂😂😂😂

It's funny and sad at the same time.

 

@Errol

Is TK still returning to B&B after the rewrite of Luna being the killer?

Mess. 🤣

The Pizza Murders/Lunacy is the first story that has actually worked since the ill-conceived Sheila shooting Steffy/Finn. It was literally misfire after misfire. I stopped watching after the BunHead FBI reveal rewrite and the show only got worse until Monaco/Lunacy brought me back.

For the most part, B&B made both stories umbrella stories with different angles. This has been a contrast to the usual single linear story that gets rehashed multiple times in the same episode by all the characters.

Has Lunacy been messy? *YES* - in the best possible way. For the first time in 18 months, I can't wait to stream today's episode. Will it last? No chance.

Here we disagree. I think it's random, boring and in couple of weeks will be completely forgotten. Not the kinda camp I like. But I love all your takes... we agree most of the time.
