Last night the 12th and final episode of Kathy aired and its true to say that its celebrity reboot did absolutely nothing positive for its ratings. Kathy premiered on April 19th and opened with strong ratings of 987,000, buoyed by a strong lead-in; the 2nd Reunion Special of Real Housewives of Atlanta had aired at 9pm scoring 2,540,000 viewers. For the next 8 episodes Kim Zolciak’s spin-off Don’t be Tardy For The Wedding was Kathy’s lead-in and these first 9 episodes of Kathy averaged 771,000 viewers with 0.39 in the 18-49 demo.

With summer winding up and networks winding down, Thursday night on Bravo saw two talk shows airing, both of which had been prerecorded on Monday June 25th. On that day Kathy tweeted out this photo with her guests Sharon Osbourne & Jane Fonda and Lisa Ling joined as well. As Kylie Minogue was only in NYC on Monday, Andy had to also pre-tape his show. This gave both shows’ editors four days to tighten up each episode and iron out any ‘live’ kinks.

After retooling Kathy’s show in the hope of boosting the audience with celebrity guests (see this Bravo PR Release), the first attempt last week featuring Anderson Cooper, not only failed to increase ratings but actually took the season to a series low.

Bravo Ratings – Kathy – Press Release via Bravo PR June 13th, 2012

After 8 Episodes of its 1st Season, ‘Kathy’ the ‘Embassy Row’ produced talk show has struggled in finding an audience. Despite a strong lead in from Kim Zolciak’s ‘Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding’ ‘Kathy’ has remained the lowest rated show currently airing on Bravo, averaging just over 750,000 and under 0.40 in the 18-49 demo. Kathy Griffin, who stated in pre-show press that she wouldn’t have celebrities on her show, has evidently bowed to both Bravo and producer pressure and relented. (See Bravo’s press release below.) With ‘Tardy’ finishing this week, evidently producers are even more concerned with how her show will rate given it will lose the strong ‘Tardy’ lead in.

Ratings for Kathy – Season 1

Most press release are often more informative based on what they leave out and the glaring absence of any ratings information in this release is evidence that Bravo is rightly dissatisfied with ‘Kathy’s’ ratings to date.

Watch What Happens Live – Season 6 Top 20 Episodes

On January 8th, 2012 Bravo started airing Andy Cohen’s late night talk vehicle, Watch What Happens Live, 5 nights a week at 11pm which allowed it to follow on from Bravo’s five night slate of original programming. A show that grew out of Cohen’s hosting duties of the various Real Housewives & Top Chef reunions, it tends to struggle ratings wise on nights where it doesn’t either follow a RH show or have as a guest of cast member of one of the 6 Real Housewives iterations.

Detailed below are the ratings for top 20 episodes (out of 91 in Season 6), 19 of which broke through the 1,000,000 viewer mark. All but one of the Top 20 WWHL episodes have been on the same night of a Real Housewives show, the exception being February 29th, 2012 when the 2 finalists of the proceeding hours program: Top Chef – Chicago – The Finale were on.

Billed by Kathy Griffin, herself, as a show that would not feature celebrity guests, she, Bravo & her production company, Embassy Row (who also produce Andy Cohen’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’), set themselves up either to break that promise or wish it was one they never made. After debuting at just under 1 million viewers in its first episode on April 19th ratings declined by over 25% in its second week despite now having a strong lead in with the debut of Kim Zolciak’s wedding spinoff ‘Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding’. By week three, the well known band Wilson Phillips joined Kathy as her guests and if they don’t qualify as ‘celebrities’ then their parents certainly do. Its strongest lead in to date occurred May 31st, 2012 when Tardy drew more than 2m viewers at 9.30pm, but despite that and a scene in Kathy regarding Kim Zolciak’s wig removal, ratings stubbornly stayed below 800,000 as is its average after 7 episodes of its freshman season and by the time it wrapped they had dropped to just 721,000 as its finale with Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t even attract 500,000 viewers.
