Updated 30 March 2013 to include the finale episode S02E12 starring Kristen Chenoweth, Eva Longoria and Josh Groban. This season closed out averaging just 417,167 viewers of which 231,583 were aged 18 to 49 years (18-49 demo 0.20). This compares most unfavorably with her first season, which averaged 721,417 total viewers, 451,667 aged 18 to 49 (Demo 0.40). The one bright spot Griffin can take I suppose, is that the final episode of this season drew 500,000 viewers whereas the final episode last season could only muster 499,000!
Season Summary
We were as shocked as anyone when back in July 2012, Bravo Media commissioned a second season of Kathy, as let’s face it the first didn’t rate very well at all. In our article accompanying the press release, we wrote:
In the 1st season of Kathy; the ratings for the first 8 episodes with Kim Zolciak’s Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding as its lead-in, averaged 770k with 0.80 in the 18-49 demo, but that dropped to 570k and 0.23 demo once that strong lead-in was lost. So, providing that Season 2 episodes air after a comparable show to DBTFTW, then presumably Bravo will be satisfied with that 3/4 of a million viewers. TV success is not only about ratings and we dare say that the commissioning of this 2nd season is a reward for Kathy’s most recent Emmy nomination.
