Haha. WOW! What a way to end Sweeps. Sucks.

DAYS has nothing to show for the reunion of J&M, B&H, Alex's death, and the SOD cover. It really does suck.

PSNS deserves the 1.4 for THIS week not last week!

[Wendy]

No way to put a happy face on this.

These? Suck.

[Toups]

I updated last week's ratings in the archive forum.

[SteveFrame]

Wow these ratings shock me. I would have thought that OLTL would have moved up more. They did have a good Friday.

Can't believe ATWT did that bad.

Glad that Days stayed even.

AMC was the only ABC soap that did take a hit. Shocked since it had been doing so well.

Someone said earlier it was going to be a bad week for ABC and NBC. They did lose a lot of viewers but CBS had the worst week in HH's and drops in positions.

Thanks Toups, just looked...

i thought days would rise this week at least to a 2.6 but at least they did not fall and they are doing OK in the demos

[Ms. Walsh]

On one hand, I'm surprised ATWT did so badly considering that last week was Damian's big return, but on the other hand, I'm not surprised. The show wasn't all that great last week. It was still enjoyable, but I can understand why casual viewers would tune out. Maybe people switched over to OLTL?? I really don't know. It always does less-than-stellar during sweep months, but in Feb. it dipped down to 2.5, not 2.4.

It seems like CBS overall took a big hit. WTF happened on Wed. that made every one of their soaps drop like that? Even Y&R, which seems like the only soap to be unscathed, still had problems: it went from a 4.4 on Thursday to a 3.9?!? I know that CBS soaps usually lag on Friday, but that's a huge drop for them!

And I'm not surprised that GH didn't improve at all. It's usually the one soap that goes all-out for sweeps, and this time it fell flat.

WOW! B&B is getting as bad as ATWT and GL in the demos!!

[King]

What is B&B's record low?

[Toups]

2.8/10 (May 3-7, 2004)

[alwaysAMC]

Pardon me, but [!@#$%^&*] that. lol

How do you lose 1 million viewers in a week? I don't buy it.

[SpiritualJunkie]

Yeah, there's something really messed up about those ratings.

[Toups]

Where? I'll recheck.

[PhoenixRising05]

Well Days should be lucky it came out of May with a 2.5 and is doing as well as it is. I did think they would garner some boost from the SOD cover and the reunions but nothing lived up to the hype.

As for Passions, they should be lucky the renewal came because they would really be in trouble.

All the soaps ratings are crap. It seems alot of people tuned out last week. Maybe early memorial day vacations or something.

[King]

Ohhh. OK, thanks.
