Sadly another disappointing ratings return from this week’s Top Chef Masters, which for episode 8 of the 4th season only attracted 883,000 viewers and a 18-49 demo of 0.40. After exceeding 1m viewers in each of the ten episodes from Season 3, so far 4 episodes in Season 4 have been below 1m and in fact all four have been below 900,000. Season-to-date the average after 8 episodes is just 962,125 viewers and a demo of 0.44. That’s a whopping 17.64% down in total audience and in the 18-49 demo, which is how Bravo sets their ad rates, the negative territory being reached is almost 24% at 23.91. Read more

Bravo Ratings – Kathy – Season 1 Ratings
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.
