Why such a big drop on Wednesday for Days, I wonder? Without that, we'd have stayed stable or gone up a point.

[Toups]

Thanks, Rugs. I didn't expect the ratings to come out today.

YES at GH!! That ties their lowest rating in HH! And lowest demo too? Awesome!!! Guza/JFP must go!!

[King]

Fall, GH, FALL! You over-rated piece of crap! I've been waiting for this for ten god damn years!

[Ms. Walsh]

Nice to see Y&R, ATWT, and GL gain. I hope this continues b/c this week was really great on ATWT.

Oh GH! I can't believe it...the minute I stop watching that show, the ratings for it tank. Usually, the opposite happens.

GH is proof that bringing back beloved characters doesn't always equal ratings success. Days brought back two beloved characters, and its ratings spiked, so we can only blame GH's decrease on two things: Guza and Phelps. Instead of spending money on wasted talent, they should hire a better HW and EP. GH deserves to be last, as far as I'm concerned.

[Toups]

I really hope we never see Maurice Benard's manic depression story ever again. The 10th time is enough!

Hopefully their demos stay low for months instead of just one or two weeks.

[Angela]

I see we're full of GH lovers here? Hah. Is it really justnotthatgood?

Congrats to CBS there, 2 weeks of nice gains!

No problem at all. I wasn't sure they'd be out today either, but then I saw a ratings post in DTS so high-tailed it over to OLTL ABC boards before even reading it and LsK had 'em up.

LOL Frons is probably pissed that AMC beat GH

Even ATWT beat OLTL and GH

[Toups]

Counting DVRs is really helping DAYS. Thank you new ratings system. LOL

[InLoveWithSoaps]

5.(4) GH 2.5 (-.1)

7.(6) OLTL 2.4 (-.1)

8.(8) GL 2.3 (+.1)

WOW! That's a refreshing change. Yay! GL got a 2.3 once again, it sucked to have the show getting a 2.1 or 2.2 these past weeks. Those 3 shows are my current favorites and it sucks for the ABC ones. OLTL and GH are way better than those 4 shows between Y&R and GH AMC is sucking ass lately yet it's doing better than those two...

[Angela]

AMC is not very good, but if they had to look like "the (relatively speaking) 'big' ABC man" for any week - 6/26 wasn't a week I minded for it and there are many weeks I'd mind at the moment, lol.

[Lskreet]

Wow, even the soaps that did "well" have sucktastic daily numbers. It hurts to see daytime faltering so much.

That said? BWAH!!! to GH. Sick of ads that promise one thing and deliver garbage and misery. Sick of SSDD. Sick of nothing in the way of happiness or romance. Of course, GH also had a miserable summer LAST year - and no one was canned. Maybe THIS summer will be the charm?

Right. Sigh.
