10 Ratings Blurbs: 5/8/12 Edition


My 10 thoughts for this week (At first I was going to leave #10 blank for Tanisha Gets Married but I'll wait another week for that. I'll have a real opinion on that for next week).

1. 16 & Pregnant (1.067 million 0.6)- What a difference a week makes. It is one bad episode so it might not be a troubling sign but it’s a big enough drop for me to take notice.

2. Revenge (7.140 million 2.1)- I don’t think ABC is going to shuffle this show around next season. To be honest I would be really surprised if they move this anywhere because the only place where it could go (Sundays) wouldn’t be a good move.

3. The Secret Circle (1.23 million 0.5)- This show is in some danger of not being renewed but if it is it will not be behind The Vampire Diaries next season nor will it probably live to see a season 3.

4. Scandal (6.61 million 1.9)- This show is also in a little bit of danger of not coming back and ABC doesn’t have too much time left to decide. A 1.9 demo this week after 4 straight 2.0 ratings doesn’t help its chances but it doesn't assure its death either.

5. Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding (1.453 million 0.6)- 3 episodes in this show is still not a flop because in no sane world was Bravo expecting this show to get Real Housewives of Atlanta numbers.

6. The Client List (2.507 million 0.9)- Lifetime has been looking for another solid hit show (not named Army Wives) for a while. It appears The Client List is that show since it’s been renewed for a season 2.

7. The Killing (1.344 million 0.3)- 3 weeks ago this show was holding on and it looked like AMC could conceivably give it another season. Now with 2 bad episodes this show is sliding into the danger zone.

8. Khloe and Lamar (1.548 million 0.8)- A lot of people won’t say this but the ratings for this show were a little weaker than the first season but it doesn’t matter too much as the show is ending.

9. Basketball Wives 4 (1.738 million 1.0)- I said I would touch more on why I think the boycott talk of this show is bullshit. The reason I say this is because with the exception of the premiere, every single episode this season have gotten between 1.7-2.0 million viewers. There is no boycott if the ratings have fallen in the same range of approximately 300k viewers for 11 straight weeks. If you need to see a real ratings drop look no further than this season of Mob Wives (If you're curious about that show ask me for the ratings and I will be glad to leave the full season of that in the comments).

10. La La’s Full Court Life 2 (1.378 million 0.8)- The ratings for this show have actually dropped over the last 2 weeks. The NBA Playoffs could be the reason but still this is nowhere near low enough for this show to not get a season 3.
