Quote sonia022: Right pdames4. This is nothing new. Nor is it any reason for alarm. One show has to be the lowest, guess it's GL.


No, NO, Nooooooooooo! This is AMERICA, for goodness sakes, the land of opportunity! Nobody, has to accept, being last.
I have faith, in this new writing team, especially since they have SHOWN US, great storylines, that have us tuning in, EVERYDAY, TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. Based on this fact, and a deep gut feeling, I truly BELIEVE, that WE ARE GOING TO SEE, THE GUIDING LIGHTS RATINGS S-K-Y-R-O-C-K-E-T

Quote CYRINA4everfan: ratings 8-27 - 8-31 2007

Final Standings HH

1 Y&R 4.0
2 B&B 2.7
3 GH 2.5
4 OLTL 2.4
5 AMC 2.2
6 ATWT 2.0
6 DOOL 2.0
8 GL 1.8 ---> ties -low rating record
9 PS 1.3*

*Please note that on Sept 7th, Passions will end it's network broadcast, GL will end dead last if the rating trend continues.*

The writers need to dp something FAST!!!! Do they not care about the ratings or GL!?


I don't believe Neilson ratings anymore..they say for every box they have connected to a tv, 550,000 people are watching the same show. These started back in the 50's when there was only 1 tv per household. I don't agree and besides with Dvr's and TIVO and tape recorders and with there being a tv in almost every room, how in the world can they tell me what I'm watching. They should stop these ratings and get in the 21st century.

Sorry, but it's a fact. In every race you will have a winner and a loser and those in-between. Currently, GL is in the losing position. That is a fact. Now, if the writers can do something about it, then great. The problem is that GL has been in this position for the last year or longer. The writers haven't been able to pull a rabit out yet, but I'm still hoping.

I agree with most of you, GL is one of the longest running soaps but what has happened can only be summed up as follows:
1. storylines way too long.
2. a lot of the s/l's are not interesting.
3. fans miss some of the veteran actors/actresses.
4. too many s/l's the same (only different couples).

They need a new fresh storyline that would pull in the fans. JMO.

You hit the nail on the head! But let me add a 5th point...Introducing to many new people and forgetting the core families...

Loved your first sentence, I used that same expression on the Zack posting.
