SON's headline for this was "Good week for GH" which was really disappointing - of course they *did* have a good week so it's was true, but I wanted all the attention to go to DAYS and it's significantly good week this week. (Or at the very least, a title that said "Good week for DAYS and GH").

There's nothing "bragging" about tying into first place if that is the case. Which it is. However, I have to wonder though, how and why can they be "tied" to first place in that demo, when clearly they not only have a clear order in which they are, and but also, the difference between the number one and number four is 25,000 viewers. To me, that shouldn't be qualified as "tieing".

Also, I have to wonder about GH's ratings aswell. There must ber a mistake in there, because having a 2.2 ratings point cannot equal to all of those days. A 2,778,000 *and* a 3,110,000 having the same ratings point? No.

I don't understand how those numbers are calculated either.

Idk how they calculate that either but it has to do with how well the show did in its time slot. There could be a mistake, but that's happened before where the rating is the same and the totals are way different.

SON probably focused their attention on GH because as I've been saying, it wasn't a significantly good week for Days. I don't just make this stuff up. ;)

yeah, i think it's either equal to or based on the % of tv's that were on during their timeslot that tuned into the show. At least that's my impression, could be wrong.

I've actually studied the Nielsen system quite a bit, and to me, it should be like this: The ratings point should be indicative of the percentage of TV's tuned in to that program of all the TV's in the country, whether they are on or off. And this number should be a constant, estimated only once a year. For the season of 2013 to 2014, that number was approximately 115 million TV's. (They do the new estimate in August.) And the second number, the share, shows the percentage of people watching that particular show out of only the TV's that were on (= in use).

So, that is why the daily numbers for GH do not really make much sense. They do make sense in the other categories to me, though.

The rating measures the percentage of households that are tuned in, but Nielsen also tracks the number of viewers in each household that are watching. One particular day a person might watch a show by themselves, the next day maybe their spouse or a friend or whoever is watching with them. That's why the number of viewers can vary even though the rating is the same.

DOOL is producing more viewership than a lot of primetime shows which have much bigger budgets. I think they are doing fine in this current television age with DVR viewership. They and GH are the only two shows actually growing an audience this year for the most part. Im not saying these writers are the best but they (as well or Lorraine Broderrick and script writers) have made the show watchable for me as a whole. I havent found the show watchable as a whole since 99 or early 00s at the most and I've been a fan since 1994.
This is true. They're still not doing particularly well. Look back at the numbers from January/February and you'll see what I mean. It's great for you that it's watchable. It's not for me. I've been watching for a long time too. This is by far the longest I've been uninvested. Regardless of that, I don't want these two buffoons writing the 50th anniversary and eventual end. They already got the chance to do a lackluster funeral for the show's matriarch. I want them gone before there's another milestone.
Higley wrote Alice's funeral. Im pretty sure the script writers would play more of a role in the 50th anniversary episodes than the headwriters.
I'm aware. Whitesell was co headwriter and Tomlin was EP. And the scripts weren't my issue.

And yes. Eventual end. Whether it's in 2016 or 2036. It's not negative. It's just life. I don't agree that the ratings are as good as what you're saying. I've provided the numbers. If you disagree that's fine, but just stating the opposite isn't going to convince me otherwise. The show is doing fine. Not great. Not even good really. But fine. I've already said we're not going to get new writers with these ratings but I'll continue to hope that will change soon. It won't take much.
I think as long as NBC remains weak...DAYS will be sticking around.

The show makes money, is cheap to produce and seems to be doing ok on its own....that being said no way in hell do I want TomSell to stick around.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep

I agree, I think DOOL is doing fine, especially for the budget they are given. They have to be practically straight up profit for NBC and SONY. Im going to reserve my judgement for Tomlin until the fall is over. If they wasted Eileen/Kristen's return and write off Sami and EJ badly, then Id say get rid of them pronto (especially if ratings are bad during November sweeps). If the show becomes the Melanie and Daniel Jonas show again, I will start a campaign.

IF - more like when!

There have been no fan favorite announcements since JS/AS and ED announced they were leaving the show.

Instead during that time we have seen SC/Daniel's screen time increased and Molly Burnett re-hired to return as Melanie. Couple that with the fact that it appears AZ (the natural choice to be the new leading female on this show) is not working much and this = The Daniel & Melanie Jonas Show.

I may think the show will survive, but I do not have my head in the sand in regards to what this show will look like come this fall/winter.
