ATWT ratings for September 15-19, 2008 - It seems that the viewers found something they liked that week

as total viewers shot up (after a few lousy weeks) while most shows bled. The show continues its inability to reel in those prized 18-34/18-49 females, but maybe it should stop trying so hard with younger women. Who knows.... I have a feeling that the Dusty comeback might bring in a few more rubberneckers. Will they hit and run and DOOL viewers tend to do? We'll see.
