Who the HELL cares!
I care. I was just wondering about their ratings. This is awesome news. I’m glad the show is doing well. It’s a fun, entertaining, harmless show. Much nicer to watch then The View.
But how does this compare to The View? And, how does it compare to its main time-slot competition GH?
Yeah who cares?
Does this show beat DAYS or GH or let it alone its main competition The View? Hell no so don’t brag.
It’s still the lowest rated show on CBS Daytime.
1. The Price Is Right
2. The Young and the Restless
3. The Bold and the Beautiful
4. Let’s Make a Deal
5. The Talk
Obviously, you people care enough to comment on it.
“The Talk” is not the ‘main competition’ for “The View”. “The View” airs at 11:00 a.m. “The Talk” airs at 2:00 p.m. (both Eastern times). So, how are they competition.
Also, “Days” does not air opposite “The Talk” on a national basis, so why would CBS worry about what that soap pulls in?
At least CBS ‘brags’ about its daytime line-up. The only thing coming out of ABC is chirping crickets.
the view is a better show
What liberals! They never mentioned the Presidential dabate the day after. You better believe that if Obama came out ahead, it sure would have been talked about!
