Y&R has dropped a 1/2 point within a period of one month!
I'm really not surprised since Y&Rs quality has gone
to hell in recent years. I saw absolute no reason why
Y&R was so much higher rated than its competition since
there really wasn't anything spectaular about Y&R.

Since Y&Rs audience is, how do I say this, a more mature
audience? maybe their audience is dying out. I say that with much respect for the senior citizen soap audience, no disrespect is intended, I'm simply curious as to Y&Rs
big slide downward in recent years. A friend of mine works
in the biz once asked Agnes Nixon why she thought
Y&R was # 1, and she responded something to effect of
"because their audience (Y&Rs) is too damned old to
change the remote!" LOL
