Honey Boo Boo Ties Bubba in TV Ratings

Sandra Rose September 7, 2012

Wednesday’s TV ratings for TLC’s blockbuster hit reality series, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo trumped Bill Clinton’s speech at the Democratic National Convention. The numbers aren’t in yet for President Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention Thursday night — which went head-to-head with the MTV Video Music Awards. So we don’t know if MTV defeated the pesident in the ratings race.

‘Honey Boo Boo’ pulled in 2.4 million viewers on Wednesday, and despite a 20% drop in ratings from the previous week, the precocious 6-year-old still tied with Clinton in the TV ratings.

It will be interesting to see how President Obama’s numbers match up with the MTV VMA’s, which aired live Thursday night during the DNC live telecast. Even if he is trumped by Rihanna, Chris Brown and Miley Cyrus — Mr. Obama can take solace in the fact that ‘Honey Boo Boo’ beat all broadcasts of last week’s Republican National Convention — including Mitt Romney’s speech.

I have never watched Honey Boo Boo or the Toodlers and Tieara show

I still *sideye* Bill Clinton

President Obama’s speech came on after the live broadcast of the VMAs so I think the numbers will be fine. The DNC had already beat out the entire RNC in just 1st night ratings!

:obama:

@FeFe..
and you dont want to,they are vile and
STL OPINION!

The President drew In 54K tweets per minute with his speech while Romney only had 14K per minute so I think the President will do fine in eating against VMA

Not surprised. Many people feel watching the conventions won’t change or influence thrm. So why do it.

Dont start with this Honey Ish Ish. Cant stand it
lovezoe

This info is misleading. This is what I found:

“Still, Honey Boo Boo tied CNN’s coverage of the Democratic National Convention — including a speech from President Bill Clinton — and syndicated Big Bang Theory encores among 18-49-ers on cable and trailed only NBC’s NFL season opener on all of television during that hour.”

It’s not overall, just CNN

I said before, most people only think Honey Boo Boo is “entertaining” cause they’re white. If they were black, they’d be called coons and we’d be calling for boycotts.

Good morning everyone. I really just came on this morning to say I (e)love n respect all of my fellow roses. What seperates this blog from any other is the way we are like one big family. Auntie was onto something good wen she decided to screen potential roses and requiring a work email for registration. In a way this sets the atmosphere for the type of people who post here

I will admit I lurked for a long….very long time before I used my log in. Everyone here has some type intelligence n integrity which makes for good conversation and helps us all get thru the day. So many different personalities and jokes that have me busting out laughing 3 and 4 days later (like wen Man said Michael Ealy looked like a gay vampire…which was my reason for registering in the first place,but I digress) we are all working seemingly decent good people. This is why we are so much like a real family.

Sometimes the subliminal shade and favoritism is very apparent. But the more I lurk/post the more I realize that like a real family some u will naturally click n gravitate to (I LOVE Fayla. Her spirit is beautiful) some u just deal wit. Some u ignore completely. Since we ARE all different n have REAL lives, the best way to deal with ur blog family sometimes is to not get too personal n remind yourself that its just a blog. Log off. Wait for a few posts n log back in.

I’m a Pisces n still young n a little green so I KNOW I have the tendency to get sensitive at times. But I realize that everyone isn’t the same way. I say alllllll of that to say this. We are a family. This blog is for us. N even tho things go left sometimes it should never be serious enough to take your feelings beyond this blog.

(Sorry for the essay…I’m a lover not a fighter) come baaaaaack DB…Free TATTED CD HTOWN N SASSY

the DNC came on a number of stations and NBC and ABC averaged over 4 million a piece for wed during clinton and a total of all the stations was over 20 million. last night nbc, abc, and cbs had 15 million viewers alone not even counting the cable broadcast so the final numbers on that will be even higher than the 20 million that watched bill.
