Good week for OLTL
I bet if they put OLTL on at 3pm, it would get the best ratings for ABC.
It’s head and shoulders teh best soap they’ve got!
(who is watching the dirge that is GH these days??)
OLTL has been on at 2 for a very long time. ABC would never change that.
That carnival is what brought up the GH ratings but after that, the show went back to still sucking.
For the first ten years it was on, OLTL was scheduled AFTER GH. It was only when both shows expanded to an hour that they flipped positions both in time slot and ratings. Otherwise, GH was headed for cancellation.
ABC had soaps on not boring tennis like CBS. Y&R I know had more viewers for those three days then tennis had for the two they were on.Leave the tennis on espn2.OLTL had a good week and GH had that carnival which was fun.Good news Claudia is leaving in November-won’t miss that gutter low life at all.
This is kind of off topic but the Guiding Light finale was great today (Sept 18). I wonder what will the final numbers for the week will be because all the shows this week were wonderful. If only the writers would have worked that hard when the show was in trouble at first.
