The Barfalution STINKS!!! I just watched 10 seconds of it and that will be the last time I ever watch it. Even though I didn't watch OLTL every day, I did tune in now and then on Soapnet. They were having a "how often do you do it" discussion ..one woman in the audience says, "I'm really (h word rhymes with corny) in the morning" ......I thought, that does it, never again. The Talk on CBS is a total JOKE as well. All these daytime talk shows need to bagged up and thrown in the dumpster. Bring back the days when there were 7 or 8 soaps on the air. I know, there's no money and it's not gonna happen. But this garbage being served up is pathetic.

The Chew looks like an absolute super hit next to The Revolution! However, we'll see how both do in the long run.

I personally think TG is an acquired taste I never got. Frankly his picking and poking at poor hapless women to perfect them is very off putting, and he comes across as arrogant and snobbish to me at least. As for Ty, he needs to be put on Keppra or off of something else, loved him at first on Home Improvement but a little of Ty goes a long way and can see him overwhelming everybody in sight. It makes perfect sense that our late, not lamented Frons would think women would like to watch these guys... in small doses perhaps but not together that is for sure. I  kinda wondered how the Revolting would fare with these two...and it looks like not well. Frons sure has left a wonderful legacy... cancelling shows he was in charge of and tried to ruin so they could be cancelled and putting a real failure in their place. Perhaps in some circles that is considered a success? In modern business I guess so if it saved $$ by hook or by crook.

The ratings for the Revulsion continue to dive.  Thursday's ratings dropped to a 1.3 rating/4 share down from a 1.9/5 share on Monday.  The numbers are off of OLTL's numbers from last year by 43 percent. 

Another postiive is that GH builds on the poor lead in every day.

How is The Chew fairing in the ratings?  I've heard conflicting reports about it.  I'm just curious.  I haven't seen it (on principle alone), but I feel bad for the AMC fans who lost their show too. 

BTW, if The Revolution is axed, does this mean ABC will keep GH and move it to the old OLTL timeslot, since Katie's show will be in GH's timeslot?

  • That's what they're saying. That they will keep GH and give it either Chew or Rev's slot if they do badly. fee
  • The Chew is performing roughly the same as AMC at a much lower cost. It's a success, at this point.

    can't say I'm sorry, not one bit. ABC jumped the shark. I guess that's the understatement of the year. Did anyone notice that ABCD is heavily promoting "The Chew" and only giving The Revulsion a mere blurb, in the past couple of days. hmmm, something isn't right. could the  ratings be a motivating factor. 17% doesnt sound like very encouraging numbers. Perhaps, the Rev will now be considered the red-headed step-child of the network. Oh what a shame.

    I'm boycotting it, but I just remembered what show it derives from. It's "Queen For a Day" five days a week.
