SHOCKER: Only 9 Million Viewers Tuned in to Empire Midseason Break

It’s going to lose a whole lot more viewers being the fact it’s on hiatus until March. Dumb move.

The series will continue to lose viewers in droves until Daniels puts the focus back on the stars who brought him to the dance, Taraji P. Henson (Cookie) and Terrence Howard (Lucious Lyon).

^^^^^^^^^
I agree.

A lot of shows have winter break and come back with new episodes in Jan or Feb

I know that but they don’t stay gone for almost 3 months.

A lot of people on my FB page were talking about how good it was. Some girl said it should have lasted 2 hours but she’s slow…even though she graduated from my college.

Is that from my show? The show about the cheerleaders?

But Game of Thrones is good. It basically keeps getting better.

I just don’t understand the Jamal and Skye thing. He spent the whole 2 seasons screaming he gay and yall gone get used to it and now he all up on this girl.

True but hell I always have to go back and and rewatch the old episodes just to remember what the heck happened …. I think Game of thrones comes back this summer …. I think it’s expensive to film so maybe that’s why it takes so long Ion know …. hell I’m tired of them making me wait for walking dead too …. they make me sick with these breaks nah

Me too

Keys has always been a probable oyster connoisseur which makes their scenes together even more confusing

why is drake on his head lmaoooooo

That is network tv for you. Cable shows will give all the episodes for that season and won’t come back for a year with the next season.

Its filmed on 3 different continents and has is the most expensive show HBo has ever produced. But still, the breaks are too long ?

Yup and we waiting another 6 months for season 3 ?

It’s like watching Da Brat and Prince make out. I mean…yall COULD technically kiss each other, but that don’t make it believable

I do remember that…

I have the 2nd season on bootleg..havent watched it yet…why did you stop?

I agree …. me and my mom was talking about that …. I am glad they do the marathons when they are about to air a new season …. cause the kid would be lost …… I do think I will read the books …… that may be what I get myself for Christmas….. I’m hearing they are literally sticking to the storyline in the books …. the walking dead not so much …. <<< which is a good thing because the comics is way too much off the chains …. whew

And I will be there ???

Why? Lol… I just… lol.

ADHD was kicking in when I was watching …. kept getting distracted …. so I just said the heck with it …. I will try again one day …..

Oh wow … I have never did the audio book …… how is that … is someone reading to you….. I like to read myself …… I don’t even like reading on my tablet …. I like to have the actual book in hand …. but I do plan on purchasing

Like the show “Hit the Floor”. I use to catch it every so often but I thought it was canceled. It has been on hiatus since August 2014. I think it is due back next month but I don’t care!

Don’t talk about my boo like that ? she works on radio too. Every morning

I had forgot about that. So she done paid $700 towards her 39 million? *snorts* I love Shawntae too. Her ass need an Unsung. Ghetto Love with her and TBoz just was on my Pandora the other day. Dub10 had it on TLC station.

Ok so this is what she was alluding to on the radio this morning. Because 50 cent said on IG he never gonna pay Ross baby mama and she pretty much co-sign ?

She dead azz wrong & need to run that lady her money.

It comes back on in January finally.

Lucious killed me when he had tears in his eyes stating, “She fixed you.”

The thrill is gone lol I never watched this show too watered down for white ppl and gays. If white ppl were going to choose to watch “an urban ghetto black show” this is it. Power is it to me.

I saw her in the prison with Cookie but that was a half sentence, I missed the first few minutes what did she do?

All I remember is she Lil Mo’d someone at a club. But i don’t know out remember why she did it.

Wait!? What?! Did I miss something. Smh. Let me see if it’s on demand.

Isn’t he truly Targarian ? Chile I’m so ready for that show to come back chile

I think she admitted she was drunk

No one of the background dancers got killed in real life

Can I say that I was HOT when Cookie spit in her face. And not because it was just nasty. But because I was SOOOOOO ready for Cookie to go to WERK on Naomi. UGH.

Whale she should never drink again if that’s the case. I bet she had been drinking Gin ?

Walking Dead returns in March too, oh the agony!

I saw her on there conducting interviews. Had the nerve to try to hide her gay azz under the table when that lady was flirting with her.

I just KNEW Cookie was getting ready to 2 piece that broad! Yeah, I was hot about that, too.

Why in the HAIL I dont fux with white likka to this DAY. White will make you fight. Tequila will get you pregnit. Brown makes you have to pee and makes you sleepy.

Not true, The Walking Dead (and some others) comes and goes throughout the year.

Fawkas …. make me sick with that crap

Don’t do zombies, but I have a friend who was a season long extra, so glad it’s doing well, so he can keep a job!

The show that comes on after that Into the Badlands is much better no zombies just martial arts.

My mom said the same thang chile ….. now she an loves that show ….. me and her be playing phone tags on commercial breaks lololol

she played Cookies homey from jail…she had abt 3 mins of shine

I found that funny. Like girl please. In her defense it was the wrong time to flirt. Brat ain’t never come out and you on an interview. Flirt with her off the camera DUH ?

Cookie spat on someone? Taraji should have put her foot down on that.

When Charlemagne admits he bleaching is when I’ll start listening. Went from charcoal to Sammy Sosa lite

Ummm Shawntae fine as all outdoors she put some real clothes on and yes. Lose that ‘do.

Curls were crunchy

In that screenshot, Alicia looks really pretty to me. Taraji looks like my aunt in her screenshot. My aunt is like 55.

Yea it was disgusting.

Just because you don’t like the show or you think it can be better it doesn’t mean you want it to fail…and it certainly doesn’t make you a crab.

You know we don’t support one another.

Power does same thing

They’ll pull out all the stops next season, you’ll see trannies more le’ gay scenes , they gone do it big ,mark my words, scandal started off good, now it’s just ridiculous with the agenda, I can’t! Still not interested in watching this mess, tv has gone to the dumps!

Agreed

I don’t think I will ever love electronics that much, idk I just rather hve an actual book.

You know what? You may be on to something. My aunt is an alcoholic too.

prolly admired his braids

Brat showed us she could be sexy when she did that song with Tyrese. Brat had a banging body!

Wow, the eyes tell it all…

Naomi is going to chew him up and spit him out. Then Lucious is going to stomp his azz to dust!

Did you hear that 50 will have a new shore on the Fox network next year as well…he taking empire down…

Shonda Rhimes, Lee Daniels, and Ryan Murphy are the agenda darlings.

I’m with ya there …. messed around and ordered my text book electronically ….. had it on my tablet …. that was the wrong move …. trying to be cheap …. I rather have a book too where I can flip the pages …..

I would of already stomped the shyt outta him. If I was Cookie I would of been on his ass. If she is such a good person for you, WHY has she yet to do anything to make you better? So you think she gonna be a old ass step momma to your used to be step moms new baby? FOH

Hey girl!!!

That’s what I thought, smh, I really loved scandal but I can’t watch it or most TV shows for that matter without picking it apart and seeing the agenda…

Oh ok, I must had blink and miss her.

This season just wasn’t well written…it was just all over the place, someone would make a comment or say something & you’d just be like what the hell?? Or a scene would happen that just made no sense but they didn’t want to delete it. This season just wasn’t cohesive & Lee making an appearance in that one episode showing is his true queendom….such a narcissist

Lol…

Da Brat little part was good..they were talking about it on Ricky smiley morning show…she was happy to be working…

Last night kind of did that though. Now we have to see what Lucious and Cookie are going to do with losing everything. It will have to focus on them

I actually liked it last night.

It was better last night than it has been in past couple of weeks

she was happy to be working…
………..
This part tickled me lol. They threw the brat tat tat tat a bone ?.

Last night was the best episode this season. I hope that Daniels will stick to one or two story lines and stop jumping all over the place.

Last nights show was surprisingly decent, I think they are going back to the drawing board to get back the viewers they lost with that terrible writing they were doing. I felt last nights episode was really good , it reminded me of the first season when the show was good.

They need to start from scratch

Except for that fake azz gun shooting…

Off topic: but does anyone know why Kim hotrashin has not given birth yet..she has been pregnant since January????

Absolutely I even posted on Facebook about it which I haven’t done since episode 1.

yep and it was the reason they had me hooked during Season 1 but Leah is trying to make it about Jamal and I have 0 phucks to give I still don’t know why they got rid of the original writers

I watched last night’s episode, because there was nothing else on TV worth watching. Half way through the program, I got bored and went to bed.

+1
And pics!

No it won’t because everybody wants to at least know #whopushedRhonda

Hmmmp prisons get their guest entertainers ?

I don’t know. I’ve only watched 2.5 episodes this season ?

??

Thank GAWD!

I just love that messy show too! Its coming back, I just can’t remember when.

They played it in the Rickey smiley show..it was ok

I think they dated

I watched Black-ish

“They do actually have concerts & comedians entertain at some prisons.”

No wonder so many jailbirds return to the nest… free housing, food, and concerts?!

Cookie was in prison for 17 years straight, y’all lucky she adjusted to being on the outside and was able to start her own company within a year. Shoot most ppl come out after that time can’t even get right, still making spreads for dinner and using flip phones.

I watched Supernatural. I really do love Dean and Sam Winchester…like for real.

I don’t think the entertainment is the reason. Years ago Monique taped a comedy special at a women’s prison

Maybe the break will help. Who knows. I’m praying it helps scandal.

Hey! Don’t talk about kids who will be born close to a holiday *poof*

New post

Well I just learned something new…I had no idea

Yea it’s all over the place this season. I hope they figure it out.

Bitter Petty Betty says: NOT

Lee only listens to Lee. He’ll get it eventually…maybe.

I know you like to be shady on purpose but I think you made an honest mistake this time by posting the Thanksgiving ratings. Last night’s ratings were actually 11.5 million viewers.

Girrrrl ?

Yeah, maybe he will listen. If viewership keeps decreasing, he might finally get the hint. *shrugging shoulders*

Now THAT would have been good.

It’s a pretty good show

Go back to the same formula they had for the first season and stop bring all those Hispanics on the show.

Before I changed my ways ?…?…I found out gin is not your friend.

BTW, where is Jen Nay? ?

…and fall out.

I never thought about that…But we won’t find out for sure until June…

~faints~

Convenient bearding?

See…?

I either fold real fast or not at all. Then, I have to rewind or pause because another load needs attention. ?

I really thought I was alone. smh She goes above and beyond with this hood character.

I bet Prince uses his tongue like a cat. Licking all over Da Brat https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/836da90918a8d594fb31814050820edad6f0dfe2af7df9121f6638d81cc977e0.gif

I refuse

“Only 9 million”. Hell, I wish that I owned a product that generated the interests of 9 million people…

Scandal does every year. At least this season we get double the episodes.

Chile don’t it make ya mad ugh

Shows take a break so they can film the shows for the next season .. I know people know this but the comments act like no shows ever take a break ..

She fixed you – Said LUSHIOUS LYINS.. LMAO!!! I can’t with this show. All these scattered plot twists are just outright STUPID!!!!!

The show is just dumb I’m mad they made Anika crazy over Hakeem ???? they focus too much on Jamal who sounds like a goat when he sings taraji and Terrance are the only good actors it’s just hard to sit through a whole episode and take it seriously. I think Lee focuses so much on Jamal because he’s loosely based off of his own life.

Hbo takes long with all their shows its the norm

I enjoy it, its read by an older British man who is actually really good. The book gives more background and details. A whole chapter would be crammed into one scene on TV. Check out the beyond the show details on YouTube.

Look I think he’s setting up the show for longevity , first season was crazy but overkill , it’s a lil more settled down and all these stories are forming …. It’s very entertaining to me , love the show !

Ryam Murphy sucks. Get off Shonda’s balls. And Lee Daniel needs to FOCUS and get off his high horse.

co-sign. boo boo kitty and getting the empire back should be the focus.

she is my god now.

Porscha might be the one to get with Cookie if it comes down to it. I need her to stand up to her though.

Ha! Y’all are something else. I scanned all the way down trying to read the comments to see how folks felt about Empire and every comment I passed was about winter season hiatus/season breaks being too long and the filming location of game of thrones, LOL!. Not one Empire comment other than the one about the March break. LOL at their March break being more discussion worthy then the show. Welp, I for one am over the show and it’s weird choice to have musicians guest star as a character, why are they not appearing as themselves like how they did on Entourage, better yet how about they don’t appear at all. Lee Daniels is putting all his bucket-list script dreams into this one show

I agree. It was a woman with a manly walk.

I lost interest since it became apparent their target audience is NOT heterosexual women.

Alicia Keys is foine as hell…

The Walking Dead returns on Valentines Day.

I have no problem with gay people I just don’t want My Son walking around thinking it’s okay to kiss and love and be with a man cuz it my eyes it’s not
