Jessica Simpson's new show sucks
I forgot to mention this earlier this week, but Jessica Simpson's new show The Price of Beauty -- which premiered Monday night -- was a smashing success. Um, as long as you don't judge the success of shows by their ratings. From the L.A. Times:
I forgot to mention this earlier this week, but Jessica Simpson's new show The Price of Beauty -- which premiered Monday night -- was a smashing success. Um, as long as you don't judge the success of shows by their ratings. From the L.A. Times:
Just 1 million viewers tuned in to the Monday premiere of Jessica Simpson's "The Price of Beauty," a new VH1 documentary series chronicling her journey around the world in search of what beauty means in different cultures.Wait a minute, Jessica's new show is on VH1? Isn't that the same network Celebrity Fit Club is on? Viewers are gonna be so confused . . . "Hey honey, when did they rename Celebrity Fit Club to The Price of Beauty?"
To put that in perspective, the premiere was beat by far less-hyped programming on cable, everything from a rerun of "NCIS," a TruTV series called "Operation Rep" and BET's "Rip the Runway" to Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and History Channel's "Pawn Stars." Ratings for "Price of Beauty" even paled in comparison to VH1's last high-profile launch, the reality series "Fantasia For Real," which last month debuted to 2.3 million viewers.
