I think the idea behind the primetime move would be to bury it on Saturday nights, which is historically the lowest rated of the week. Then the suits could say something like, we tried to keep it alive but the ratings don't support that and kill it that way.
All I know is that I'm barely watching these days. And I know a bunch of longtime viewers who feel the same way. I DVR'd the show last week because of reading this board and saw a glimmer the show I grew up watching and loving. At the end of the day as great as last week was, we all know Sonny is never going to jail, Carly is never going to lose anything and Kiki is the worst. These are the reasons GH may need to be euthanized once and for all.
