After setting a TLC ratings record last week, Sarah Palin's reality show plummeted for its second episode.
Sarah Palin's Alaska fell 40% on Sunday night to 3 million viewers.
Not many were in the key adult demo either. Only 885,000 viewers were ages 18-49, dropping 44% from last week.
In fact, the median age of the show is 57 -- that's 15 years older than TLC's average.
TLC expected a ratings drop coming off the high-flying premiere; executives realized some of their numbers were driven by sheer curiosity rather than eagerness to see an Alaska-based travelogue reality show. Competition from Sunday Night Football and the American Music Awards may have impacted the numbers as well.
"We are very happy with the ongoing strength of Sarah Palin's Alaska, and it continues to drive big ratings gains for TLC," said a network spokesperson, who noted Conan had a similar drop.
Tonight, Bristol Palin will be on the Dancing With the Stars finale and there should be no shortage of viewers there given the controversy surrounding her improbable continued
At least they are cutting back on the huge family and midget shows. I hate to say it, but my hubby, a red blooded American male, loves Stacy and Clinton’s “What not to wear”. I think he likes how ‘hot’ the girls are after the fact.
Plus we all know after the series is over, TLC will run it forever.
I just love when a noob defines the rules.
Thank God I'm only 51, I'm still desirable.
Advertisers do not care much for those over 50 and by 54 you are of no use to them at all.
I just love when a noob defines the rules.
I am cutting and pasting part of the rules in the front page of FR.
The rules are defined by the moderators.
“Please enjoy our forum, but also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks...”
RE: I saw this guy on a previous thread acting like a liberal troll.
Explain this please...
Yup.
The rules are defined by the moderators.
Are the mods still requiring that you take a "rules" test when you join FR? I had to take one last year when I joined...didn't do so well, but I passed.
I betcha WebFocus aced it...probably got a gold star.
You joined FR 2 months ago. Your first post you started a thread. You came in flying way below the radar but since then your purpose has become quite clear. Concern troll. Now the only question is are you new or a retread? My guess is your days are numbered.
Of course he’s a troll and not a very good one. I’ll wait for the zot, it will come sooner or later.
He’s a liar and a concern troll. It’s just a matter of time.
I enjoy watching “What not to Wear” too. Only with my wife though. You get to make fun of them and then cheer them.
The Temerity!. It will take a lot more than this orc like initiative organized by the leftist fascists to save themsleves.Palin is like light on the faces of these vampires and then they show up here squawking and whining. Ask yourselves why you drank the kool aid in the first place. Its not our fault , now BEGONE!
So Concern Troll, welcome to the pre ZOT experience. Just eff off and go crawl into a corner. You do not rate even being here.
I guess you dont want a little pu$$y in the presidency.
I’d wager Palin trumps YOU in the balls department.
Here’s a question for those who dislike the news on this particular thread — how does reporting the TRUTH that her second show in a series has 40% less audience than her initial opening show seeking to discredit her ?
Facts are facts.
Also, We are not allowed to change the title of any news report (much less the Hollywood Reporter ).
Somehow, a lot of people think that Sarah Palin is so fantastic that she can walk on water and any venture she undertakes should always be successful....
To which I say this — yes VOTE FOR HER ( I will ), but please, don’t venerate her.
RE: You came in flying way below the radar but since then your purpose has become quite clear.
Which is what ? What post did I make that shows I am a troll?
As for my days being numbered, I leave it in the hands of the moderator, who I believe can fairly judge the posts I make.
I am a conservative and proud of it. I want YOU to show me what posts I made that exposes me as a liberal ( as you seem to be accusing me of ).
Piss Off!
Spin facts elsewhere you contextually challenged ignorant idiot.
Mr. Candor7, you are quite out of line here.
May I remind of you the FR rules about posting and attacking fellow posters.
Like I said, piss off troll.
In spades.
