Members Scotty Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 Wow. Never really cared for this show anyway, but still -- Wow. Since the retirement of Regis Philbin, the new Live! With Kelly show viewership has dropped by 35 percent; while rumors point to -- either reformatting this once popular AM talk show -- or dumping Kelly. http://www.huliq.com/10282/live-kelly-called-dud-ratings-dropping-regis-philbin-retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 Regis is very annoying. I don't miss him. They need to find a replacement already. It's not hard to do.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 I have to admit I'm surprised. I knew Regis was popular, but his departure was such a non-event that I thought people were fine with him going. I got sick of him a few years ago and haven't watched any of Regis & Kelly in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 I guess people like to be annoyed early in the morning. The ratings for Live werent high to begin with...I think they ranked low in the ratings....its not like the show was a blockbuster hit with Regis in it.

Members alphanguy74 Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 Every damn body in the AM is annoying. But then again, I grew up watching Captain Kangaroo and Jane Pauley.... not an act that's easy to follow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 LIVE pulled a 2.7 and 3.5 million last week. Whoever wrote that article is comparing Regis' last week which pulled an above average 4.2 and 5.5 million. LIVE is doing about average so I don't understand the fuss.

Members Soapsuds Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yeah....Live never had a 4.2 with Regis recently. The show was averaging around a 3 ratings point with Regis on...it only picked up the last week because he was leaving. Had he not left the show it would still be pulling the same 3s and high 2's.

Members quartermainefan Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 The producers deserve this for not willing to pay Regis his fair share. He was old, they didn't think he was important. They were wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 Here's the original NY Post article that this blog referenced: http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/tv/live_ratings_down_post_reege_tTKYQjazNwtwjPNxPuBvPM Here's a Hollywood Reporter article that ran the same week that the NY Post article came out which touts that Kelly's ratings are actually up YOY. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/live-kelly-ratings-rise-regis-276023 Whom do you believe?

Members VirginiaHamilton Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 That's funny because I read another article in the Sunday paper that stated the opposite - that ratings were great despite Regis' departure. Someone's fudging the truth here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members juppiter Posted February 18, 2012 Members Share Posted February 18, 2012 What bothers me about Regis is that he doesn't know anything about any of the guests who come on and he doesn't pay attention to anything they say. He's just not a good interviewer. But yeah I knew he was well-liked, I don't know why, but he is... To me Regis leaving isn't anything close to the devastation of Bob Barker leaving TPIR but people love him for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 18, 2012 Members Share Posted February 18, 2012 I love Regis, he never annoyed me, Live! was his show, not Kelly's and not Kathie Lee's...Disney didn't want to pay him fairly and treated him poorly because of his age, I just think the whole thing is crappy.
