Members DaytimeFan Posted June 20, 2014 Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 I find the ratings for NYC so disappointing because I am loving this season. For me there is a good balance of light moments and drama. I would absolutely jump ship if Jill Zarin returned. I find the ratings for NYC so disappointing because I am loving this season.

Why not have all the bad news at once? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted June 20, 2014 Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Andy hates Jill and has been very positive about the show on Twitter so I doubt my theory would come to fruition. I do wonder if her returning would budge the ratings because even after B ethenny left the show remained strong ratings wise. I personally have no problem with anyone on the show except Aviva's crusty father but the ratings are too low to not change anything because for some reason the general audience is not interested. We'll see. Edited June 20, 2014 by Eric83 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted June 20, 2014 Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 The ratings aren't good, but I think that has less to do with the show than it does with the promotion of the show. The 'Moldavian Massacre' happened with the RH franchises as a whole once Russell Armstrong killed himself, but RHONYC has had next to no promotion this season, and lord knows why, the trailers were epic and the episodes themselves have been satisfying. Does anyone know offhand what the OC ratings are like this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted June 20, 2014 Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 They're about even with last season. Another advantage for OC is that they tend to increase in ratings as the season goes on and judging by what's to come I think it will start trending upwards soon. OC and Atlanta are the only franchises that haven't suffered major audience losses in the past couple of years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted June 20, 2014 Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 That's good to hear because I'm really enjoying OC a lot this season too. Really, OC and NYC have a lot of the same going right for themselves in terms of their tone and focus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted June 20, 2014 Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 Jill and Alex can't save NYC. Bethany MAYBE but even that I doubt. The show is great tho. It's a perfect cast and it's got issues but is light. It's my fave right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 NYC's current season is better than any other series (save ATL) most recent season BUT the ratings do not reflect that. People dropped the show bc it lost a sense of familiarity when they did the drastic cast changes. I do think bringing back some old faces would bring back viewers who simply couldn't take to the new women. I definetly think Jill and Alex should return. At this point with the ratings so low, it cant hurt to try 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted June 20, 2014 Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 I don't think people tuned out due to the new women because they couldn't take them, I think s4 was so toxic and there was such an air of toxic around it that people didn't tune in for s5. I don't think bringing back Jill of all people will help. Nor Alex. As I says, perhaps Bethanny but doubtful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 Yet there was no dropoff in season 4 as the ratings remained high and increased as it went on. Season 4 was toxic but people were still watching. The reboot was too drastic a change and alienated people. The transition between seasons and how Bravo handle it was awful. Im a trooper but I was ready to drop it bc of that. I didn't take to any of them until this season and that's only bc its been so long. The series was unrecognizable in S5 and a chore to watch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted June 20, 2014 Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 The problem is that even though Season 4 has this rap as being toxic people were clearly watching and when you eliminate like half the damn cast of course the audience is going to doubt it will ever be as entertaining or as exciting again. Personally 4 was nuts but I still loved it from a television standpoint. If I were on the show I probably would have lost my mind but just being a watcher I was absolutely hooked. To go from that to quiet Carole, semi quiet Heather who wants to gangsta, and just under the surface Aviva was too much a drop. I'm dreading the "Leg Incident" cuz quietly I fear Ramona is somehow behind it lol.....but then again it could just as easily be drunk Sonja playing a dumb trick. Who knows at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted June 20, 2014 Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 Season 7 of Atlanta commenced filming last night. Kenya, Marlo, and Cynthia were filming together in NYC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 Yay to MARLO. The new Fab 3 . I'd rather roll with than Nene, Phakedra and Poorsha. Did you hear the apparent new rules in their contract that they have to film with whomever the producers say? Basically one can't act like a diva and say I won't film with this chick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted June 20, 2014 Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) I did. I'm sure the only people who pull that card is Nene and Phaedra. The other four can put aside the personal and realize at the end of the day that this is a tv show. ETA: Lisa will be back!
