Bravo Days!!! When you think of how long many of these shows have been on, you have to commend them. And they are not on once a week but five days a week for years!! That is a LOT of writing, a lot of good actors, Directors, editors, etc. I do not watch GH but good for them as well!!!

Good for Days. Hopefully the last one standing! NBC still wants them because in their category, the ratings are high than with their other shows.
