Celebrity Apprentice has higher numbers because it is the only show on your list on network TV. Broadcast networks still attract much larger audience numbers than cable nets.

Also note that the finale on 2/16 actually had FEWER viewers than the premiere - never a good sign.

RHOA runs on Sunday nights. We are in the midst of award shows and the Super Bowl - the Housewives have tough competition when up against the Grammy's, Golden Globes, etc. Who will be watching RHOA this Sunday night when it's up against the Academy Awards? I predict this Sunday will be their LOWEST numbers of the season, since many women who enjoy reality TV also watch the Academy Awards. Remember too - RHOA and all the reality shows are re-run throughout the week. Many advertisers buy the whole package - all the airings in the first week - to gain viewers.

Terrier - thanks for your thoughtful response. As for RHOA, i don't think they ran new episodes of RHOA during the Superbowl nor during Oscars - they run repeats. Smile

I don't get BRAVO in my lineup, so I don't get the housewives shows. Sounds like it could be the same fate for the other shows on cable.

I have no desire to watch Real Housewives, Sister Wives, Mob Wives, Vanderpump, Love & Hip Hop, or Little Women. Celebrity Apprentice and Dance a Moms are getting too predictable, so I don't watch regularly. No Kardashian ratings on the list? I don't watch, but was curious where they stand compared to others. I wouldn't be disappointed if the whole reality show genre finally bit the dust.

Thanks...so the numbers reflected repeats....that was a smart move on their part!

I am a media consultant for a living...this is what I do every time I analyze a client's TV buy.

I'm with you. I'd be delighted to see the reality shows go out of favor.
