VH1 praises its’ celeb-reality shows as a big part of their 14% increase in viewership from last year. I know these shows were the reason I’m spending more time dialed into VH1!
VH1 says:
“Hogan Knows Best,” starring Hulk Hogan and his family, debuted as the highest rated series in VH1 history on July and the network’s second highest rated telecast in its 20-year history.
Earning a 1.9 in the 18-49 demo, the series helped fuel a night of premieres that was seen by an overall 10.2 million viewers. Other premieres that night included “The Surreal Life 5,” which averaged a 1.5 in the demo and “Celebrity Fit Club 2, which averaged a 1.4 in the demo.
Looks like “But Can They Sing” didn’t do as well as expected – there was a lot of hype, but it’s not mentioed as a breakout hit like the other shows. Apparently people aren’t interested in a “American Idol” for people who are already famous.
These numbers mean VH1 will likely continue churning out this stuff too – why quit doing what’s working? Good news for me (and my Tivo)!

[...] But Can They Sing didn’t make VH1’s list of their top performing shows, and it’s now been crowned by the NY Daily News as one of the top 10 worst shows of 2005. [...]
