NBC’s only remaining soap opera has been around for more than 50 years. Days of Our Lives’ ratings have dropped a lot over the years but, thankfully, there’s no danger of it being cancelled soon. The network has already renewed it for the 2016-17 season (the show’s 52nd!). Will it be safe after that? Stay tuned.
Set in the Mid-western town of Salem, Days of Our Lives revolves around the members of the Brady, Horton, and DiMera families — along with their friends, enemies, and lovers. Castmembers include Kristian Alfonso, John Aniston, Camila Banus, Bryan Dattilo, Mary Beth Evans, Billy Flynn, Galen Gering, Deidre Hall, Drake Hogestyn, Lauren Koslow, Wally Kurth, Jen Lilley, Kate Mansi, Eric Martsolf, Joseph Mascolo, Peggy McCay, Casey Moss, James Read, Melissa Reeves, James Reynolds, Suzanne Rogers, Josh Taylor, Greg Vaughan, Robert Scott Wilson, and Arianne Zucker.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available. You can see how the ratings for the four soap operas compare here.

I know its years ago but when friends did the days of thing with joey from my end it looked like nbc was just mocking the whole show, but anyway those ratings up there thats averaging more than usa gets for wwe raw, a show that has goldberg broc lesnar etc, not bad for a show that resurrects dead twin brothers.
Please don’t cancel days of our lives . I’ve been watching it since it started. Those people are a huge part of my life . They are like family to me . I would never miss an episode . I will quit watching nbc and any talk show i may watch if you take days of our lives off the air

Please don’t cancel days of our lives . I’ve been watching it since it started . Those people are a huge part of my life . They are like family to me . It’s the only show i watch that i can’t live without . I will quit watching nbc all together and all talk shows if they take days of our lives off the air .
Please renew Days of Our Lives I have been watching this all my life. I work night shift and have to record it everyday but I never miss an episode. I don’t watch any talk shows since Oprah Winfrey stopped have her shows. I don’t like gossip and people giving there opinion about others. My mother is 78 years old and she looks
forward watching this soap opera, and don’t watch the others and will not start. This is part of my everyday lifestyle.
Please don’t cancel Days Of Our Lives!!! The last thing we all want to see is yet another news show! I agree with the post that I won’t watch anything on NBC if Days gets cancelled. This woman can go to another net work. I won’t watch her.
Please do not remove days of our lives! My mom and i just love it. We have never missed an episode. Its the only show we look forward to. Our lives wont be the same without it.
I will quite watching channel 5 ive been watching Days with my mom from the beginning. I record and watch it faithfully every day. And i agree with other viewers about talk shows thats not what were wanting to see on tv. Theres enough stress in day to to day life without having to listen to all that gossip on tv. Basic tv is going down because of it thats why we watch other channels like lifetime movies etc. No more Talk Shows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOYCOT 5 IF THEY TAKE OFF DAYS!
Days has been a part of my life since the beginning. Started watching with my mom and she has been gone for many years. So Days family connects me with my memories. I’ve watched some come and go, loss loved ones in real life and on the show and the cast remains a part of my family. We have enough talk shows and full of their biased opinions spreading hate.
Please keep Days of our lives on. It is the best show. I never miss it. If it gets cancel, I will not watch anything on NBC. Put that Megan Kelly show on after Days of our lives go off. You cannot replace a show that’s been on for over 50 years. This show is better than all of the rest. So please keep it on.
Do not want it csncelled!!!!
Days of Our Lives is the only show I watch on NBC. I will NEVER EVER watch another thing on that channel if they cancel it . Especially if it is cancelled to put narcissistic Megan Kelly’s show in its place . Believe me, I’m not the only on that feels this way , so PLEASE don’t make that horrible mistake for her .
Please keep days running, I have been watching for a very long time and I really love the show and the people on it. My daughter and I use to watch it together, but she passed away and now I watch it for the both of us.
