  1. Denver

    Yay for DAYS!! Days of our Lives was excellent(as it showed in the ratings); that week with the Nicole & Sami being pregnant by possibly by the same man, EJ story & the mayor getting shot & Sami being the cross fire!!

    * DAYS was 3rd in total viewers(2,700,000) & was the only soap to have increases from last week(+204,000) and last year(+100,000); which is an amazing feat due to the yearly erosion of soaps nowadays!

    * DAYS was 2nd in women 18-49 viewers(849,000) & was one of 2 soaps to have increases from last week(+10,000); when last you saw DAYS 2nd!

    * DAYS was 2nd{tied actually with GH} in women 18-49 rating(1.3/8) & didn’t decreased from last week & last year.

    * DAYS was 3rd in girls 12-17 viewers(42,000) & increased from last week (+13,000); I remember a few years ago when DAYS & PASSIONS dominated this demo with pratically having over 60,000 girls watching. Didn’t they had Boys 12-17 Viewers rating? What happened to it?

    * DAYS was 1st in women 18-34 rating(1.0/6) & didn’t decreased from last week. Like I said before, a few years ago, DAYS & PASSIONS dominated this demo with a 1.5 and over rating; I wish they would post the actual number of viewers.

    I sound like a NBC press release!! LOL!!

  2. Good for Days! I still like catching the show if I happen to be home on a weekday. Glad to see them hanging on after 43 years!
