Y&R had the ratings, GL didn't. Also, the quality of the show was reduced to the point that they changed the way it was filmed and the sets made it look cheap. But it was the best show ever when it was at its peak. I had stopped watching in the mid 90's but before that it was awesome. Y&R I felt was always the weak link in the lineup but that always got the most ratings which I could never figure out. I guess it was more simplistic and easier to follow since there was never much of anything happening. I've watched most of the soaps since the late 70's and GL has always been my favorite soap. The early 80's was fantastic (Nola, Quint, Carrie), the mid-80's were good but then it rebounded in the late 80's/early 90's into spectacular, must-see television. At the same time ATWT was also earning kudos, so those two back to back were an unbeatable duo in terms of quality. Y&R has been good, sometimes great but I think one of the reasons for its #1 status in the ratings is due to its timeslot. |
