Members ATWTfan1 Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 These ratings get more and more bleak it seems like Man, ATWT should be much higher but that's nothing new. I know there were many pre-emptions & interruptions last week for us in L.A. w/ the wildfires (CBSd on Weds for example was completely pre-empted and shown in the middle of the night) and I think the Roberts confirmation, etc. But regardless, these ratings overall just suck.

Members Jude Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 Yeah, but I don't think they count the people that tape them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skiman12082004 Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 Being a guy, it is refreshing to see that we do count as viewers. Days was actually really good that week and I too thought it would do better. I watched DAYS, B&B, PASSIONS, and GH that week. I'm watching so much TV lately from daytime to primetime; I feel like the biggest loeser LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ClassicsSoapFan Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 Y&R and ATWT do well with men over 18. Two of my favorite soaps! All right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 And by the looking at the gains and losses for the previous week, ATWT was #3 in men over 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 I'll second that! And, even though it didn't rise this week, I am very glad to see that OLTL didn't drop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 Nice to actually see AMC have a decent week. I know 2.5 is far from decent but compared to what it has had since June I think jumping 168,000 viewers is a good thing. And a 2.8 on Monday that is huge for amc but it quickly leveled off. I am seeing improvement and I think the fall is gonna be alot better than what we had in the summer. I am forever always the most optimisitc AMC viewer lol.

Members Max Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 Someone in this thread mentioned that DOOL and Passions need to be significantly improved in light of their low household ratings. While I certainly agree that DOOL and Passions' need major improvement, I am certain that such improvements will not take place, since these are the top two soaps in the women 18-34 category. (It really doesn't matter how low a rating DOOL and Passions get in the households, since NBC does not care about that category.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitchapalooza Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 Well IMO DAYS is on the road of recovery as we speak, the show has been oustanding for the last 2 months. PASSIONS on the other hand has been pretty lame, but maybe this "red" storyline and Luis's return will prop up the ratings. IMO, DAYS is doing fine in the ratings, not great, but definetly ok: -#3 in Total Viewers -#4 in Households -#1 in 18-34 Demos -#1 in 18-49 Demos -#1 in 18-49 Total Viewers -#3 in Male Viewers Thos are nothing to scoff at!

Members MichaelGL Posted October 8, 2005 Members Share Posted October 8, 2005 I'm just shocked that GH does so bad in Men 18+ Demo, it seems to be the only gender they cater to. Poor GL, starts the week off with strong numbers, and finishes them with such low numbers. Days and ATWT have been great, I hope those two continue to rise in the ratings.

Members pranji Posted October 9, 2005 Members Share Posted October 9, 2005 Sure they are. Days ratings haven't really improved. It's that ABC has been in a freefall. Days is still only pulling in a 2.6 which isn't far from their all time low. The show has picked up the pace, and stopped the flashbacks, but that's it. The stories still drag, storylines and dialogue are still bad, while the repitition never stops. I also think TIIC think like you, and that's why the show won't improve or gain viewers. Why change anything if we are still #1 in this demo group, or that one? Who cares if we only have a 2.6 when we had 2.9 or 3.0 a year ago, or 3.8 5 years ago? I think it's a big reason soaps are a dying genre. The people who run them just don't give a [!@#$%^&*] and it shows. Seriously. If Corday gave a [!@#$%^&*], do you really believe that Reilly would still be there? I don't. Reilly would've been out on his ass a year ago. That said, I am surprised that the ratings didn't rise. I don't like Austin, but I thought his return would give a boost. Hope they didn't pay a lot to get him back. Belle also gave birth and they announced the name of the baby. Guess people just weren't interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
