Tags: , News

keeping_kardashiansImage Credit: E! NetworksThe fifth season premiere of E’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians posted record ratings for E. The half-hour show from Ryan Seacrest Productions and Bunim-Murray Productions was the series’ highest-rated and most-watched season opener ever and the network’s 2nd most-watched telecast ever (only behind last season’s Kardashians finale). It averaged nearly 4.7 million total viewers, up 14%  over last season’s debut. It also ranked as E’s second highest-rated telecast ever among adults 18-34, adults 18-49, women 18-34 and women 18-49, second only to last season’s record-breaking finale.

Meanwhile, the series premiere of The Spin Crowd, which is produced by Bunim-Murray Productions and Kim Kardashian, posted E’s highest-rated and most-watched series debut ever in the Sunday at 10:30pm timeslot. It averaged over 2.3 million viewers.

    Oh dear.

    • Stormy

      If they’re that popular why not have all of them including Bruce and Brody Jenner as the new Dancing With the Stars cast?

    • wino

      the end is near :) i like my trash tv, but i cant believe more people watch this show than something like Mad Men.

    • Brenda Barrett

      YES, I did click on this story just to ask “WHO ARE ALL OF THE MORONS WHO WATCH THIS TRASH?”

  • Lauren

    The Spin Crowd is laaaame. It’s the second time they’ve tried to debut it too. Don’t see it sticking around.

    • soooobad

      Technically the first time Spin Crowd aired it was a test episode, they did the same with Holly’s World last year. I hated it when I saw it then and I hated it last night. Absolute trash. I don’t know how Kim K could associate herself with such a rude and degrading man/product…oh wait, I could!

  • Sara

    Good Lord, people. Really?!?

  • UGH

    How sad.
    Shame on anybody who watches this garbage.

    • Faith

      you re just hating and jealous.

  • Jethro

    Doesn’t this family have better things to do. First they live off their poor deceased father’s millions and get paid for being no one. Bruce J. was foolish to enter into this home. The man was the world’s greatest athlete.

    This family continues to be annoying and show that one can be successful with no morals, no values and no sense of normalcy. Kim poses nude, Kourtney has a baby out of wedlock and Khloe marries a man less than 2 months of relations.

    • BEN

      so i see you follow them…

    • Ugotz472

      The men just don’t stand a chance with these women! Bruce is a wimp, Scott, they got him to stop drinking, bad move Scottie, and now in therapy, he’s as good as DONE as for the brother, they treat him like another sister, so you tell me what the heck is going on. They should have a “period” episode when all the Kardashian/Jenner ladies/girls are ragging at the same time or at least during the same week, that would be priceless.

  • JC

    They Betta thank Ray J and OJ for the existence of this show

    • Jethro

      Why Ray J, he is just as bad. I know about OJ, but Ray J?

      • Dave

        I think JC added Ray J because Kim Kardashian had a sex tape with him, which kinda made her a household name.

    • Ugotz472

      Hey “JC” nice comment paisan! OJ and Ray J two of America’s most upstanding Americans!!!

  • tomm

    The Gabor sisters of today. Maybe make a new ‘Green Acres’ with Khloe?

    • ihatescreennames

      only if she plays Arnold…..

      • Jen

        hahahahahah

  • Ap

    I don’t get this…I tried to watch this show but they are boring. Even the way they speak is boring…who watches this?

    • MELISSA

      I do…it’s not that bad!! This show is like my only reality t.v. fix…OH! AND SURVIVOR!

  • Mike

    this show is so scripted it’s insane

    • T

      Maybe that’s why they sound like drones.

  • bruno

    is that why this hoochfest has been everywhere the past few weeks? seriously, what’s up with this show? what’s up with these women? and what’s up with seacrest and co tabloidsploiting the crap out of them? WHO. CARES.

  • diane

    Who watches this vapid bunch of publicity seekers?

    And what will Kim do when her looks start to fade, since she has no apparent talent or expertise in any area other than bikini calendars, dressing up and appearing on a red carpet?

  • Shurly

    Noooooooooooo !! Now they definitely won’t go away anytime soon.

  • Casie

    I love the Kardashians! They keep me on my toes and since I keep my life drama free it’s fun to watch other peoples

    • Dominic

      They keep you on your toes? That’s actually stupider than the show itself.

      And you do realise this isn’t actually family drama, it’s just some crap a bunch of script writers made up?

      • Ry

        Why do you feel that it’s scripted? The show has followed their lives individually and as a family over the past few years. Among other things, there have been marriages, births and break-ups…I highly doubt that any of the Kardashians/Jenners would get married, have a child or break up their relationships because some “writer” wrote it into a script.

        Get over yourselves. You all claim to hate a show you seem to know a whole lot about…so, what does that say about you people?

  • KelJo

    To quote the maître d’ from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off…”I weep for the future.”

  • fiveagainstone

    I fail to see why anyone watches this crap. I was really hoping that reality tv crap like this would be out of favor in the 2010′s, but seeing that this is a hit breaks my heart.
