Lindsay Lohan Documentary Ratings TANK Again! [VIDEO] Oprah Winfrey OWN Network Draws Less Viewers Than 'Sponge Bob' To Watch The Ex Child Star Be A Brat
Lindsay Lohan documentary ratings for the third episode shown on the OWN network have really tanked yet again. The documentary has yet to break one million viewers. Last Sunday it was down a staggeringg 24% from the pilot episode of Lindsay that also scored disappointing ratings. The Lindsay Lohan show episode 1 brought in mediocre ratings compared to the ratings that Oprah Winfery's OWN network had been expecting from the documentary and has only been getting worse. The pilot episode of Lindsay drew a so-so 892,000 viewers, and the second episode's ratings plummeted to 550,000 viewers. Ratings for the third episode went down even more, though the exact number of viewers is not determined. The ratings are so low that analysts have stopped counting..
If 550,000 viewers sounds like descent ratings, then just think about Real Housewives of Atlanta that airs on Sunday nights. The reality show drew in 1.9 million viewers and even re-runs of 'Friends' and 'Everybody Loves Raymond' beat the new Lindsay documentary ratings. Lindsay Lohan was even crushed by 'Sponge Bob!' Now that must be embarrassing for Lohan and Winfrey. Oprah was really counting on the Lindsay documentary to rejuvenate her dying network, but even Oprah gets it wrong sometimes. Moral of the story: never bet on Lindsay Lohan, cause you'll always lose. Sunday night On Lindsay, Lohan's assistant threatens to quit after not being able to speak to her, and Lindsay refuses to film making Oprah very angry. Oprah confronted Lohan at her Long Island home, and scared Lindsay straight.
"Lindsay," an eight-week documentary series on OWN, was part of the deal whereby Oprah got the first interview after Lindsay Lohan finished up her sixth rehab stint last July 30. Yes, 6. Though ratings are low, ratings for Lindsay marked the highest draw in six weeks for the dying OWN network. Yet Lindsay Lohan can not rejuvinate the fast sinking network owned by Opera. The show's ratings can't compare to those of Oprah's interview with Lohan last July and it is easy to see why. Watching Lilo be a brat is just not entertaining. I'm supposed to feel bad that Lindsay has to wait a litte bit to move into her NYC $ 16,000 per month apartment? Oprah needs Lindsay ratings to increase tonight or her network could be in big trouble. But the Lindsay documentary premiere ratings did well in comparison to similar reality TV/documentary formats, ranking third behind Iyanla: Fix My Life and Life with La Toya.
The show with the highest ratings last Sunday was AMC's 'The Walking Dead' followed by 'The Talking Dead,' the show that does simply that...talks about 'The Walking Dead' episode.
SO why is Lindsay Lohan's show so terrible? Well, maybe we are all over the ex child star. Her supporters are all grown up now and have better things to do than watch a spoiled brat cry over not liking her hotel room and complain about not moving into her $16,000 per month apartment quickly enough. We're over it.
In fact, one of my readers wrote me, "Not a chance would I tune in to watch Lindsay be a brat. If she'd actually learned something from rehab, took acting classes, went on auditions, worked on writing a script, did charity and came out of the last 7 years a sane and sober person I'd watch."
Oprah went to see the bratty child star to confront her about avoiding being filmed costing teh Network thousands of dollars per day.
"So I'm here. I traveled all this way. To see how you are," Oprah told Lindsay in her Long Island home.
Oprah continued: "This is what I really want to say to you: If you're not ready, I'm really OK with that. If you're not ready to keep the commitment that you made with me and the rest of the crew, I really am. Because when I said that in the interview, I know it was on television, I know we're on television now, but my truth is that I really do want you to win. I really do."
Will you tune into Lindsay Lohan's show next week?
