Wow, Days is bad. I would LOVE for B&B to take the throne from Y&R. I just started watching B&B because GH and DAYS are both irritating me and its such an easy watch. Really good show so far.

I know its not a fair comparison, but here are NBC's "hit" shows last week:

VOICE-TUE-05/19NBC ------ 11M
VOICE-05/18 NBC ------ 11M
VOICE 8P 5/19-05/19RNBC ---- 7M
CHICAGO PD-05/20NBC ---- 7M
MYSTERIES OF L-05/20NBC -- 7M
L-AND-O:SVU-05/20NBC ----- 6.9M

Only 5 shows with more than 7M, three of which were The Voice (one of which was a recap/rerun).

7M gets you a Top 25 total viewers rating. That's it in Primetime. 2.2M during middle of the day doesn't look so bad when you see the major dropoff that *all* shows have had in the past half-decade.

I am having trouble finding total ratings for shows beyond The Top 25, and many sites are focues on the "everyone demo" and not the "women demo". http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/nbc-2014-15-season-ratings-33881/

Ratings count, but they are not the parameter they were even a few years ago.

ETA: Found a listing of the past year in review for primetime ratings. If you scroll down to the 2+ listing (which means everyone two years or older in a household, basically total viewers), you can see plenty of NBC shows in the lower tier, though nearly everything below 2.2M in PRIMETIME did end up cancelled.

GH
Monday: 2.34/3,112,000
Tuesday: 2.17/2,899,000
Wednesday: 2.36/3,139,000
Thursday: 2.12/2,863,000
Friday: 2.03/2,740,000


GH has been flat, but none of the soaps have been great. They had 2 days over 3 Mil, while Days had 2 that barely stayed above 2. BB couldn't get over 4 and Y&R couldn't break 5. They have brought in a new writer, so to say that they are doing nothing isn't accurate. Days is making a lot of promises, but we still have 4 months before we see them and we don't know what they mean long term. They may be throwing everything at the 50th and have nothing beyond that.

GH could fire everyone (I don't think they should) and have a total turnaround in two months max while Days takes half a year. I think they get more leeway when it comes to turning things around. They have that luxury.

I hope that Jean Passanante was brought it to be co-HW with Ron Carlivati though. He really does need help, he is super gimmicky and just seems burnt out to me. Their cast is just epic and amazing but the stories (or lack of stories) just suck and draaaaag.

Couldn't get over 4 and 5 million? What does that even mean? Look at their gains year to year. I think they are more than pleased with their numbers. I don't think those numbers are their goals by any stretch. Of course it would be great to hit those numbers but they're already far exceeding last year. Y&R's gains are crazy because the show is absolute trash. B&B has been steadily going up.

It's only probably a little under 3 months now for the new writing material to start on Days. I know it's been dreadful having to wait for this but the end is in sight.

I wish they would fire Ron. I don't like him or his stories. When is the show going to start bringing on some younger characters? Ones that matter, Kiki doesn't matter. I'm happy to hear Dillon is returning finally. If I hear he will be involved with Lulu and they break up the snoozefest that is Lante, I might watch. I've been totally turned off of GH for about 2 years now. I don't like the campy, kooky characters they keep bringing on like Nina. Y&R actually won with Stafford leaving. GT is a much better actress than Stafford IMO.

Sorry I was sort of all of over the place in this rant.

B&B
Monday: 2.98/3,989,000
Tuesday: 2.90/3,906,000
Wednesday: 2.89/3,971,000
Thursday: 2.76/3,818,000
Friday: 2.71/3,895,000

Y&R
Monday: 3.52/4,742,000
Tuesday: 3.50/4,771,000
Wednesday: 3.56/5,000,000
Thursday: 3.48/4,915,000
Friday: 3.41/4,931,000

At least both shows can pull in between 3 to 5 million viewers per week rather than GH would rarely can get a whole of viewers in the 3 million range. Both shows have higher rating points than GH, period. GH needs to fix its pacing and storytelling.
The writers didn't want to spend time on Robin ordeal, but spent 18 months on the Fluke story/ giving Rafe a drug addiction/ writing a DP story for Sabrina/Patrick only to implode them with Robin return/ forced contrived pairing of Nathan/Maxie/ multiple people in masks/ DID storyline from the black hole, just to name a few. Now Ava is nothing but Connie/Kate 2.0.

Still mediocre for Days but at this point, everytime they don't hit a new low it's a victory.
13 weeks of ratings left before the switch happens. I hope they can keep this up.

I do to because it's obvious they waited too long before dumping TomSell but fortunately they did.

B&B is easily the best soap right now. It doesn't get enough recognition.

Yikes to those Days numbers.

I only think B&B numbers were high that week because of the transgender reveal storyline, which in my opinion did not amount to much from all the hype that lead up to it.

Wasn't this for the big Eve/JJ/Paige reveal? A story that built for 9 months, and when the reveal occurs, the ratings go *down*? This is the final proof that the story was a failure. They tried to do something fun and soapy (good for them), but the execution was all wrong. Wrong characters, wrong pacing, etc.

B&B is normally in this range anyway. The gains were likely due to that reveal but they didn't have some huge jump. I'm loving the Forrester corporate story that is spinning off from the Maya story...the whole show is just good right now. Now that I watch three soaps daily/weekly and hate Y&R, I can say that B&B is in my opinion FAR superior to the other soaps.

GH numbers are weird. General numbers are good, then they tie low in W18-49 rating, then they're first (tie with Y&R) in W18-34.
