   Ouch for Pauly D. He could be heading for under a million viewers soon. I really can’t see MTV renewing his show.

   Glad Punk’d stayed steady. I’ve actually really liked it this season.

   .7 for a 1.2 million? PaulyD demo is good for the total viewers! Good for Punkd though I hope it’s renewed while Pauly is cancelled

   So with ESPN and the NFL Network combined, the Draft had a 4.0 demo and 8M viewers.

   Andrew Luck & RG3 = RATINGS!

   TNA was up with the Open Fight Night against stiff sports competition.

   The NFL is so powerful that people will sit through 3 hours of young men being selected for their football teams.

   The ratings for the NFL are going to GIGANTIC this season with all of the off-season changes.

   Huge NFL ratings… for the draft.

   Any idea how many TV execs are re-thinking Thursday night schedules considering the NFL is moving to a full season of Thursday Night Football in the fall?

   It looks like Tardy for the Wedding is going to pull some pretty good numbers for Bravo, it’s very entertaining and I really like it. Kim one of my favorite Housewives. 1.4 mil for the 1st episode and nearly 1.7 mil for the 2nd episode, good numbers. Go Kim and Bravo.
   On the other hand Kathy isnt doing to well, it lost almost a million of Kim’s viewers.

   Kathy Griffin has the same jokes that she keeps rehashing over and over again. I used to be obsessed with her but now she’s just so predictable. A lot of people, including myself, probably tuned in to her premiere hoping for something different but when she gave them the same things over and over, they probably left.

   I don’t get it WWE’s RAW and SD rank in the top 10 every Mon and Friday night.

   And TNA ranks below (even though it has some WWE Superstars)

    I think Bravo should be happy with the numbers for Kathy. It’s a talk show, so it doesn’t cost them much to produce, plus it’s doing better than the last season of My Life on the D-List. And Kathy doesn’t have celebrity guests, so there isn’t that factor to draw in viewers. It’s also doing about the same numbers as her stand-up specials, and I don’t think Bravo would have expected anything else.

    Tardy for the wedding is a flop. Compared to the RH franchise, those numbers are way low and this is the debut.

    I don’t think Bravo was expecting Real Housewives-level ratings. It did better than Bethenny Ever After, which gets just over a million viewers a week if that, as well as most of the network’s other non-Housewives shows. I’m actually surprised it did as well as it did and that it rose for the second episode since Kim isn’t exactly one of the most popular housewives.

    I think Tardy for the Wedding performed decently, not great not bad. I don’t think it was expected to pull the same numbers as RHOA. I bet Bravo is fine with it.

    FOXNC totally dominated the bottom 6 positions. Two entries for ‘Hannity’. This must be the first appearance ever of the 12am ‘Hannity’ on TVbtN.

    I sure wish the ratings on the Mentalist would go up on TNT.

    MTV keeps going down. I Just Want My Pants Back at 11 was getting better ratings than Punk’d/Pauly in their tenspot. (And was entertaining, Pauly D actually HURTS the JS brand it is so dull.) The Movie Awards can’t get here soon enough, usually supplies some life/platform to launch their summer wares.

    The Pauly D show needs to be taken off MTV imo. That show is beyond boring and like the commenter above me, I think it more than likely could hurt the JS brand.

    Kathy has potential just needs some fixing. It’s not very cohesive and it’s kind of all over the place. I think it should be moved to 11 and air for 30 minutes becuase another issue is it’s too long and they’re during certain segments it feels like they’re only doing it to fill in time or at least that’s how it felt for me.

    So the to 3 shows last night were: Big Bang Theory, American Idol and the NFL Draft. TV Execs have to be shaking their heads, wondering what they can do.

    They may not have been expecting it, but this is a far drop from the reunion. Yea it may get lower ratings than BEA, but it’s currently in its third season. This was the debut.
