Talk:Cruise of Deception

Hmm
"NBC promoted the story heavily to lure kids home from school to watch the show during their summer vacation. Ratings rose, albeit temporarily, but the popularity of Days of Our Lives has remained strong ever since." Contradictions? Rich Farmbrough 19:14, 23 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Days hit a ratings slump in the tail end of the 1980s and into the early 1990s. The ratings would rise again, this time for good, when James E. Reilly started writing for the series in 1993. It's a bit complicated and it's not worded in the best way, but it is trying to tell a point that is essentially true. Plus, if they were marketing to children, of course it'd only be a temporary rise in ratings because they'd have to go back to school sometime. Maybe they're trying to say that it was then that many Days viewers were hooked on the show, and they came back for more in later years (possibly during the Reilly years from 1993 to 1997).

 * I reworded the sentence. I chose "at least the next year" because the nighttime episode "One Stormy Night" was also a ratings success, and happened before Reilly, in January of 1992.


 * Ratings rose thanks to the storyline, but then the ratings retreated, something that would not change for at least the next year. Mike H (Talking is hot) 03:55, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
