Is Nanny on NAN sitcom with Fran Drescher, if it is, very good performance.
Is that low for The Challenge?
Do you have the half-hour breakdown for The Challenge for its 90 minutes?
@Survivor Fan
Compared to the last 2 Challenges, it is quite low.
Regarding The Challenge, it aired against the Big Brother finale. Very similar audiences.
I’m not sure what MTV would have considered good for The Challenge..but those numbers..viewers wise..seems very low..but the demo is on par with what Teen Wolf was getting..so I wouldn’t consider it a total bust.
@Cory
Indeed it is, it did better than original episodes of Happily Divorced (not to talk bad about that show I love that as well).
Nice to see CSI: NY make the list a few times per week. It’s dark/gritty tone is perfect for late-night. The Mentalist is trending upwards, slowly. It will be interesting how Castle does next Wednesday. NCIS is a beast, what else is new? There is a show called China, IL? LOL! What is it about?
@ Dan T
Good point, I actually forgot about it last night, as it was caught up in the Survivor/ BB excitement.
Sorry to see low ratings for Challenge—I thought it rocked. GREAT drama (as usual)….GO BIG EASY!!
Are those good numbers for south beach tow
Reason I asked about the half-hour breakdown is because the last half-hour aired after BB, so I’m wondering if it was a big uptick.
The challenge sucks just like much of Mtv’s other programming.
I meant *Its
A “Big Bang Theory” repeat beat a new Honey Boo Boo? Please let that continue.
I watch Honey Boo Boo… on The Soup!!!
Only 1.1 for The Challenge? WTF is going on with MTV!?!? I’m so upset right now!
@ Christian
No, it got a 0.7
Honey Boo Boo hurting MTV too?
All of the shows on MTV are extremely dated..and the numbers show that. Awkward is the only exception.
