Total viewers in thousands during sweeps

Sweeps are the periods of the year when Nielsen collects date from diary surveys. More info here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nielsen_ratings#Sweeps

Good results for Days during February sweeps, it was up in viewers from November and from 1 year ago.
The other soaps were all down.

It's great that you've collated the sweeps info. It's much more pertinent than averaging over a period, which does not distinguish whether a show is going up or down. (0 to 60mph, and 60 to 0mph over the same distance will have the same average speed, although what is happening is *completely* different!). It occurs to me this is one reason why sweeps could still be important.

CBS soaps look week. I wonder if it's temporary or a really dangerous trend.
I was a big fan of Mal Young's writing when he started but right now I think the show's stories have gotten weaker. He better fix it soon lol.

Ron seems to be a good fit for Days.

I think the potential is there for Y&R. The Chelsea exit was sort of WTF but I enjoyed it. Since then, there hasn't been much action. I'm looking forward to a possible Shick reunion but don't want them going so fast. I think the show could use some new pairings. I know you wouldn't like this idea (lol), but I think Billy and Lily could be a good pairing, plus the angst with Cane as they are already rivals.

Hahaha. Who knows. Sometimes I like the same characters in different pairings. Eg. I like GH's Valentin with both Nina and Anna, can't decide which pairing is better. I also liked Ava with Morgan and like her with Griffin lol.
I am not sure Billy and Lily could be more than a fling though because the show seems to be 100% committed to Lane.

They need younger pairings IMO.

Re: Shick. Definitely too fast. I don't see a storyline.
I think it's a big problem. They aren't writing love stories anymore, they just put people together and say 'sparks fly' and that's it. I don't remember when was last time they wrote angst, longing etc. I think it was Philly during Pratt that I last enjoyed a love story on Y&R. SSM tried somewhat with Teriah but it was dropped like a hot potato and then nothing.
The same can be said about most (if not all) soaps.

Yeah, unfortunately this show is attached to Lane. It had ruined so many years IMO. They should have never re-hired DG but they caved to a segment of the audience. This is an example of when listening to fans does harm to a show. Hopefully they are planning more obstacles for Shick. I agree I want to see some younger pairings.
