  1. What the heck is going on with Days? Its ratings have been in decline since the week it got renewed.

    Everyone who watches it says that it's great. Just a few months ago, it was giving B&B a run for the money.

  2. Good question. But the ratings seem to go up and down the complete opposite way I would think. They don't really advertise DAYS ratings on SOAPnet but I know it does well on NBC.com. I wonder if it all evens out in the wash instead of a big drop? The only thing regularly reported are the broadcast TV ratings.
