Members DRW50 Posted November 23, 2010 Members Share Posted November 23, 2010 Does Mike and Molly still just do fat jokes? I'm not surprised this show didn't do well in the ratings. FOX's big skating show a few years ago didn't either. I don't think there is an audience for this show, not the way it's done by the networks anyway. The last one on FOX had a ringer and TV morning host but she got injuries and ended up losing to Kristy Swanson...who then had some hilarious scandal because she and her partner on the show hooked up in real life.

Members Soapsuds Posted November 23, 2010 Members Share Posted November 23, 2010 Here is the preliminary ratings http://www.zap2it.com/tv/ratings/ The 9.5 for the 8 hour includes dancing numbers.....but look at the 9pm numbers....it sure did help out Hawaii Five-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadZoe Posted November 23, 2010 Members Share Posted November 23, 2010 That's funny because I hear that Battle of the Blades is one of the most watched shows in Canada. But that could be because actual Olympic and World winning female skaters are paired with hockey players and both actually start off able to skate.

Members OLTL_fan Posted November 23, 2010 Members Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hard to judge the ratings since the show didnt start until 9:13 but u can tell by the 10pm ratings, it flopped. Sure ABC is disappointed but it aint the end of the world. They should be lucky this was only filler until The Bachelor returns in January. I agree, the show was boring. Fell asleep after Rebecca Budig performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted November 24, 2010 Members Share Posted November 24, 2010 This show has had 5 seasons on UK television, weird it is not popular here. I think they got Torville and Dean to front their version though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted December 22, 2010 Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 Rebecca Budig won if anyone cares about this flop which will never be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted December 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 Good for her! It's a terrible show but she has talent on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 I didn't even know a thread existed for this trash! I loved watching this as the weeks went by. I hope there's a season two. They need to do this as a holiday special. Johnny Weir is someone I loved to hate on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 I enjoyed this but mainly due to my love of Rebecca and Bethany and the British version. I don't know why ABC couldn't get skaters as good as the UK show. Why not just borrow some people or use those who weren't invited for the current season? The pros on the US version were very mediocre and the pro dances and overall choreography was VERY dull. The UK show was exciting, cheesy and over the top like DwtS. The failure of this is more poor execution than anything. I hope Johnny is eventually invited to judge Dancing On Ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
