Pauly D beat Punk’d?!
Pauly D is surprisinly staying steady in the demo. I thought people would have turned off by now. It’s an okay show, not amazing. Something to watch while Jersey Shore isn’t on, I suppose.
I hope Pauly D falls below 1 mill
Punkd :/
The Pauly D show is beyond boring. That’s good he’s steady in the demo but I’m still surprised considering it’s a Jersey Shore cast member, I’d expect much better ratings than that.
Is it me or is MTV really falling behind in the ratings these days?
Eh I was hoping higher for Kathy. I had so much fun watching it. Not sure what Bravo’s expectations were, but hope it’ll continue. I need weekly Kathy Griffin!
Eagleheart did pretty good, sweet.
No numbers for Mary Mary on Wetv?
Those Kathy numbers are woeful, especially since Andy really hyped her talk show.
@MM:
“Jersey Shore” and “Teen Mom” seem to be MTV’s only high rated shows atm (that I know of).
Jersey Shore and Teen Mom attract enough viewers to last MTV awhile.
Kathy’s numbers were disappointing considering the massive promos, but a .5 is not terrible by Bravo Standards..
so america would rather see a reality show spin off than watch a show thats on NBC at 10 p.m.? sad.
Those Kathy numbers are horrible. it had a great lead-in and hype.
I don’t recall “My Life on the D-List” ever doing that well, so why would this new show do well?
Loved Kathy! I hope the show does well from here on out.
I like Kathy but I felt her show was kind of unorganized. I also feel like it maybe should be 30 minutes instead of an hour.
Boy RHOA can do no wrong I see. I think you could put that show on in the middle of the night and the ratings wouldn’t change.
Kathy definitely needs a little tweaking, then I think it’ll be just fine. Go RHOA!
Her numbers are not that bad. Chelsea is lower then that. So sh will settle a lil below chelsea and brain has to be happy with that. It’s bravo after all and they really back her. Her specials. Get between 400k and 700k
Her as in Kathy sorry
only in america will a show like swamp people be the number one show on cable
