  1. I dont understand this rating system? Does it know all the people who dvr these shows??? I used to be a huge All my children fan, now I can't stand it! I switched to Y&R and B&B and I quickly realized why AMC was so bad. it would take 6 months to get to the end of a story line. these two shows keep it going! I tried to watch AMC on hulu I felt I owed it to them since I called ABC, left messages everywhere to bring it back. now I can't get enough of Y&R and B&B. so how does this rating work???
