MTV has found their new successful trashy show, lol!
RHOM up a tenth from last week’s first part reunion. Great season, but just didn’t catch on with Bravo’s audience.
Buckwild did very well.
Wow people actually watched that trash buck wild. Although it was the premiere so I don’t expect it to maintain those numbers.
Wow Drake and Josh did very well, all thursday
Buckwild had a lot of publicity as the new “Jersey Shore” so the numbers should have been a lot better. I hope that it fails and maybe society can redeem themselves from the trashy “reality” shows that MTv has become infamous for
Idc what nobody say. RHOM is not a success just b/c it average 1.2 – 1.3 million views just b/c last season it average like 800,000 views. Compared to any housewive franchise its a fail.
Bravo will renew it but don’t expect 22episodes like RHOA, RHOBH, RHONJ etc.
Buckwild is MTV version of Duck Dynasty & HoneyBooBoo. Sad !!!!!!
Yes Drake and Josh have best rating that some news episodes from Big Time Rush
Good job, Impractical Jokers. It seems more people are beginning to discover the show
Given all the publicity, are these really good ratings for Buckwild? Catfish and ahem, Teen Mom do better.
How did House of Anubis do?
Anything for House of Anubis?
Buckwild did okay, I bet it drops tremendously next week.
Good that RHOM was up a bit for the finale. A lot of times, the second or third parts of the reunion shows go down a bit in numbers.
Despite what people say, and the so-so numbers (especially compared to other RH franchises), Bravo will renew for a 3rd season. A few reasons why -
Andy Cohen has publicly stated more than once that he loves Miami and the Miami housewives.
A few of the stars have stated they would return, and one seemed to state she would not. In fact, the reunion as a whole seemed to set up another season with new feuds and weddings and such in the works. Also, the cast was acting outrageous – especially Ana and Lea, the two farthest from Andy (the position you don’t want to be in at a reunion as that signifies you might get cut from the show). Also, the two closest to Andy – Adriana and Joanna – acting totally crazy, ,trying to bring ratings for another season.
A final point – the people who do watch Miami – love it. RH of DC was cancelled not only because the ratings were iffy – but mainly because the fans did not connect with the cast or like the ladies. With Miami it is a different story. Like was stated above – I don’t think Miami will ever receive 20 or more episodes like some of the other franchises – but another 15 or so will definitely be in the works for next year.
House of Anubis ratings??
Even the Fiesta Bowl pregame between 8 and 8:30 ran well clear of all non-CBS broadcast competition.
Was there a case for ABC airing it on the main network? Would it even have been contractually possible?
I, too, want to know House of Anubis’. I also want to know if Nielsen listed it as being on NICK or NAN (Nick at Nite) because, with it premiering at 8, I wonder if Nick is temporarily extending their Thursdays to 9pm during HOA’s season.
Nickelodeon has had the 8 o’clock hour on Thursday for a while now. Well, given past ratings, I wouldn’t hold my breath on the show scoring higher than 2.3 million viewers. And for once, it’s not Nick’s fault. It has the same timeslot that gave SpongeBob & FOP great ratings last month, and it’s been promoted to hell & back for months.
Didn’t find Buckwild all that great in any way. Kinda boring throughout but with the very occasional laugh. Glad it started out well and I wish it success.
House of Anubis at 8pm = 0.3 A18-49 rtg and 1.711 million viewers.
Not shocked at all at House Of Anubis’ crappy ratings. The shows not exciting, is cheesy, not suspensful at all, & has no real core. Just another live-action fail by Nick.
