  1. THANKS for these!

  2. Cody

    I think now is the time for FOX to get into the daytime game.

  3. RLH

    My prediction: GL will leave the air with 3.2 million viewers this week…

  4. Doug

    You know what I don’t understand? How, combined, women 18-49 numbers are down 1.3 ratings points (over last year), households are down 1.2 points, but women 18-34 are even. Are younger women turning back to daytime, or just no longer fleeing? Or is this a function of the economy and high unemployment?

  5. boy wonder

    Will Days make #2 total this year? Love to see that!

    Days has the ability to stay strong…if writers and show execs don’t pull the rug out from under us after sweeps. This could be a great opportunity to grow the show. When story isn’t driving the ratings, there is an opportunity to concentrate on character developement. We really know nothing of Arianna, and don’t particularly care, and with ‘Carly’s’ scheduled re-appearing after at least a decade away, it will take some doing to jolt the memories of viewers, let alone make new viewers even care who Carly is…or really, did we ever actually know who Carly was other than a substitute for Hope, who was on an evening prime-time show at that time?…better get busy NBC…I’m yawning already. Let’s hope Alison Sweeney and James Scott can keep the fire kindled in the ratings wars..

  7. Willie

    Nice to see ATWT hold on to the 5th spot. The storylines have been wonderful and only getting better. CBS has the best daytime lineup
