The Nielsen ratings have hit college campuses for the first time. Daytime shows such as Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, and Passions have gone up in ratings among many college students. Daytime soap opera's have gone up 30% while prime time ratings have also risen. Two of the most popular shows have been Grey's Anatomy and Gilmore Girls. A boost in these ratings for the demographic of 18-24 means a lot for these shows. Advertisers have more interest in these time slots which will help for the shows survival. The daytime soap opera Passions was set to be cancelled in the fall of 2007 but if their ratings keep increasing they have a stronger chance of survival. Who said lounging out and watching television was a bad thing. These ratings definitely prove otherwise.
