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 fourth episode airing on the OWN network owned by Oprah Winfrey have really tanked yet again, not surprising anyone except maybe Lindsay and Oprah. The documentary ratings have yet to break one million viewers. Even SpongeBob Squarepants gets better ratings on Sunday nights! The second episode's ratings were 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 anticipating from the much hyped documentary and ratings are only 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 and fourth episode went down even more, though the exact ratings are not determined. Numbers were 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. Now that must be embarrassing for Lohan and Winfrey who really beleived a documentary filmed just out of rehab was a GOOD IDEA! Oprah was really counting on the Lindsay documentary to rejuvenate her dying network, but even can Oprah get it very wrong.. Moral of the story: never bet on Lindsay Lohan, cause you'll always lose. Sunday night On Lindsay, Lohan's sober coach has to leave Lohan in New York, Liindsay does some pole dancing and shares her strong desire to keep acting saying that when she's not on set, Linsday is wasting her talent.
"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, 6th rehab stint! 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."
Last SUnday Oprah went to see the bratty child star to confront her about avoiding being filmed costing the 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."
Another reader wrote me: No one understands why Oprah is wasting her time. Everyone already knew Lindsay was incourageable. No one thinks Lindsay is going to have a realization during the course of this show. She'll just keep lying pathologically through her newly learned self-help lingo. The handful of people watching are tuning in to find out when Oprah is going to wake the F up.
Will you tune into Lindsay Lohan's show next week?
