    Days is really holding their own. If NBC should dump the show, I am sure they would be picked up by another network if not renewed.

    Good ratings for Y&R; what do guys think of Y&R not gettin nominated for Best Series?
    They do have the best ratings!

  3. RLH

    RIP ATWT 1956-2010 (my theory based on ATWT hitting a ratings low).
