  1. OLTL has just fallen off the rails with all of the new ppl. It's just too much. Hey, they fired the gays, whom will they blame next for the ratings??

    I have to say that AMC has been interesting.

  2. I actually think the opposite. I love the Ford boys and Nate. I don't care about Star though well I kind of like her with James. I hate Cole, Jessica and Natalie, Rex and Gigi but I put up with them. I actually watch it more than GH and Days two of my favs. I'm sorta watching AMC but if I even get an inkling their putting Rylee back together then I'm out.

  3. Just like to add that, Univision's telenovela, Soy Tu Duena, which premiered in June, averaged a 2.7 HH number for the week and 5.39 million viewers. Some nights it won the 18-49 and 18-34 demos among broadcast networks.

  4. Thanks, FoxCrane. I try to add Univision in when I can find the details. It's a fast-expanding audience.
