Empire Ratings Tumble

Sometimes too much of a good thing, is not good enough. They need to just focus more on Cookie, Lucious, and their adult children’s relationship, and the record company.

You seem to have Jesus on the mainline for all these “insiders” blowing up ya email box….

Her Majesty better quit playin’!! She is getting beside herself now.

Wait so the same thing happened season one episode 2.
They’ll be fine . ..
Hakeem was dumb all last season …lolol

From downstairs when ChitsNGiggles come up here…

How many folks can have a true genuine relationship with the muthaFUGGING President of the US. How many?
^^^^^^
All of old Hollywood was friends of President Reagan and wives one and two. They were actors.

This show as well as this post is overrated. He has toooooo many people. Who’s next flip Wilson ???

I watched Empire like twice last season and never watched again…but a lot of people really like this show

I know ??? I died at myself when I typed that

I didn’t like the muppets except for Muppet Babies cartoon when I was a kid… haven’t even tried to watch now

FLIP WILSON…..I hollered

I loved me some Geraldine

That’s the finale ?? sha boing boing

SANDRA….STAHPPPPP

You are torturing us….We don’t care…I rather talk about your love of Obama.

Wasn’t interested last season…. still not interested now…. seeing the posters in the NY subways makes me think of Beyonce and Jay Z “Upgrade You”, and Kelly Rowland is on the show?? How “groundbreaking”

If they really put Tyrese this season , it will turn into another Baby Boy…

where are the ORIGINALS writters??

What was KELLY doing last night??? Why was she on Empire…acting or something

God that needs to be on a blu ray collection … they want release it though smh

” That’s the lowest viewing audience since episode 2 of season 1.”
Seems to be a trend …

Told yall in the other post Lee gonna be the first to bring a damn hologram to the show. My money on Tupac. Or Selena, for the new gap tooth chick

Nah it’s flip and Sammy

I’m not homophobic by any means but I believe what is killing the EMPIRE audience from watching is the gay scenes. From other sites I’ve been on most people talked about how they we’re not going to watch anymore after seeing Jussie kiss his boyfriend. I’ve said the same thing it’s just all over the place now. Last week Cookie was nice to boo boo kitty and this week she’s back to hating her. CONFUSED for real, now I love me some Luda but what was the purpose of having him play a Correction Officer? Any other actor (unknown) could’ve done and said the exact same lines.

Last season on episode 2, the ratings took a hit…
This season, the ratings again, took a hit on episode 2…
so that’s the trend.

They way they creating shyt on this show, it might be James Brown. Cookie told yall last season he was her uncle.

Is that ah Question ma’am????
???

Sooo…what are we really talking about here? Seems like it’s following the same pattern as LY.

that durn costume killed it for me too!!!!!

I don’t see what’s so good about this show? The whole cast besides Taraji and Terrence are horrible actors…they over act like Telemundo soap actors and their storyline is not believable…plus I don’t like when negroes bust out in song and dance for no reason….

Don’t forget when Jennifer Hudson had her little cameo and helped Andre when he had his breakdown.

Lee Daniels and his emo bullchit gonna be the death of this show. That was a mistake to switch up Jamal and Hakeem ‘ personalities ..I hate Jamal now ugh!

?That’s not all it does…
Valued Roses, help her or him out ??

And Courtney Love…

I knew when all these people wanted to be “special Guess” on Empire…it was going to be waaay too much and all over the place. Im not liking season 2….I hope POWER season 3 is not like this. even though I think they gon make Tasha a lawyer or something crazy. Bish a hoodrat that love doing hoodrat ish! Dont change that bish

I was so bored that I’m feeling like the Drake song…”I don’t want it back to back. When I look back I might be mad that I gave this attention.”

Monistat will also help edges grow back #Helpful

Ugh 13 million still a lot of viewers though

Hi WHit! LOL . . . You say, we need to get on to more important things?

Afternoon, folks!

I’m so mad I missed the Thugger post!

Check back in 2 weeks when the ratings slide even further. This isn’t MTO. I don’t have to make up shat when insiders are so willing to share information.

” Cookie just ghetto with no fabulous.”
^^^^^
Taraji is playing herself from what I hear. That’s why she can’t keep a man.

Jennifer Hudson was annoying.

I did not

let me check!
I gave a compliment too though

Why watch it, when you can read about on FB & Twitter? Folks don’t even wait for the commercials they updating social media and watching at the same time. Plus you got people begging Lee Daniels for a cameo. It looks like love and hip with real actors and mainstream celebrities.

Sandra I miss the old website.

Oh you mean on FOX …I get what your saying

Did the insiders tell you that Lee Daniels is not the show runner at Empire?

I’m sure that the ratings will slide, but it will still have higher ratings than any show on the air.

I did not enjoy when Jamal gave his boyfriend a reach around in the kitchen. I did not like when Boo Boo Kitty was scissoring like it was arts and crafts time. I did not enjoy when Lucious got eiffel towered in that prison shower scene. I just did not

Damn Sandra. You hit ’em with the…..

Dre is fine frfr but that chicken scratch beard thing gots to go…GO!

I’m so glad I found this blog!!!
Thanks for helping a sister out!!!!!!!!

You mean when she looked like she was wanted to suck the sickness out of him?

dont let these folk have you putting chemicals on yo body…. brush yo doggone lips and keep em moisturized, if they are still dark either quit or jusss deal with the brown lips.

Yea that was weird and totally uncomfortable to watch .

BTW, was that dream scene with Kelly Rowland suppose to be Dre’s real mother and not cookie? See! it made no sense. Again, I’m just passing time until POWER returns.

Is that why her site looks completely different? I haven’t been on there in forever her robot followers kiss behind too

Well I watched the premier last week and got completely turned off..my tv will stay on modern family and blackish…also just in case my 8 yrs old walks in the room I don’t have to jump over head to switch the channel so she won’t see 2 men going at each other

Like her loud azz voice

Yes he does

She sold it.

As fukk!

This

If what I read and hear about Lee Daniels is true, he is one insecure gay man. He seems to get off on punishing people who isn’t feeling all of the gay stuff. Well, Lee, your viewership dipped because not everybody is into all that gay stuff. Season 2, Episode 1, was sooooo gay that it made me (and others I talked to) uncomfortable. We know that “Jamal” is gay and that’s really okay but did we have to have so much homosexuality thrown in our face. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE. Black people love your show but some still are not comfortable with so much homosexuality. Tone it down, write a good script (this season is weak) and stop bullying people and maybe, just maybe, Empire will make it long enough to go into syndication. Right now, you have a long way to go and we (your audience) will turn on you in a n New York second. Remember, you’re up against “Black-ish” which is a very good show.

Chile… Sandra said see pic below … take that shyt outside

enough to get them back up to 16 million

Ho! I know what it is!! HAHAHA…what he the bridge or a bookend and did this really happen?

That was lil Lucius and his momma
Shows us where he came from and how mental illness can be inherited

Didn’t she date Lamar Odom? Waaaaaaay before the Kardashians.

I don’t watch Empire…..and It would be nice if the fall in ratings was due to black people not appreciating that they gave Don Lemon Juice a cameo, but I know that’s not the case (eye roll). #blackballallcoons

Yeah I was really into Empire during Season 1 but now its just bland as hell. I went to sleep on it last night. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it! Where are the old writers? Why do I have to wait til June for Power? *cries*

Don’t get me started on that fukktard Don.

Snoop Dogg

lol…yup, tis all you need…I keep the lipgloss on deck and I brush my lips (personally I use a lil peroxide)

Don’t forget Malik Yoba’s lips. Looking like they just left the set of New York Undercover.

You saw the pics?
He so damn smart and fine!

Hey Whit! I’m bored…

The way she tried to pray with Dre?! Lmao

Fawk this bullshyt up top … the whole world is going fugging mad … damn

and his mom supposedly had a mental disorder like Andre

chile smh ….. ugh

…to hell in a hand basket

Oh my!
Lord have mercy!!!!!

Nah man …. this shyt is on a whole new level …. believe that … internet my azz …. something ain’t right out here yo ….

I hate to be this way, but lets see if they drag whoever did this through the mud like they did Martin, Brown, etc…

CANT NOT STAND YOU.

Teehhe and wine

GHOST

Sad part this isn’t the worst..history shows there HAS been worse.

“Stringer Bell”………Come Thru……..

There are pics of them online somewhere, and supposedly he proposed to her not long before he met Khloe.

THANK YOU! I’ve BEEN saying this $hit! People act like a woman killing her baby, or a dude molesting his niece is indicative of the world ending.. The only difference is now if a teen stabs his mammy in Iowa, we know about it 3 minutes after it happens.

damn he fine <3

Just waiting on an open post…?

I saw that coming! I was not impressed with this weeks episode, oh well! I do love Power though! Great storyline!

Hey

But you sold your blog to DaQuan and them sad ghost writers we are supposed to believe is you… everybody should put down their stones

I am a loyal reader….

the things I will do to this man!!!! Lawd……..

Hmmm, licks lips. . . oooooffff. Let me get myself together.

indeed!!!!

OH NO not DA Quan….not Da Quan

I am sitting here watching this fugg azz episode now.

This the funniest chit EVER.

Empire is a comedy.

The end.

I was TIRED and crashed before it came on. Looks like I didn’t miss anything. The premiere was doing too much last week.

they’re bullied as kids, depressed as teens, had personal problems etc…we’re gangbangers, thugs, alladat.

not even more depraved more accessibility…I would have minored in history if I didn’t want to leave earlier..The stories I have read…This is actually less tamed but people arent getting away with it so easily.

Think about all the shyt they say went down during the Roman Empire. Ancient Greeks practiced perderasty. Egyptian pharoahs were all about incest to keep bloodlines pure. Aztecs mass murdered people as a part of worshiping their gods on the regular. Craziness has been happening for CENTURIES…EONS.

………………..

Yup. Cain and Abel…

lol

Me too, I’m ready to go home and have me a Colt 45

I KID

Bingo

I’m cold.

YOU AND @JL and these damn GIFS. I AM SCREAMING

I got me a can of wine…lol

I just watched the entire season a week ago. Did the same thing with season 1. I need to do better *kicks garbage*

I told you.

Did you know Cookie use to date Lamar?

He got us … <3

Lamar aka Crackdashian? What are you talking about?

Yes, Crackdashian.

Sandra said Taraji couldn’t keep a man so I asked who has she dated. A commenter said she dated Lamar before he and Khloe got together…

me too but I love Idris’ walk, swag, peen print, etc

I choked on my juice

I just died.
is this a open post ????!?1

It need to be with comments like that?

Because he wants the EMPIRE!!!. Well that’s what he said last season.

He should have stayed with Cookie…now the Whoredashians got him strung out and looking crazy

——

All I could think of was…” WHOSE BAD!”

Was I the only one chanting “whoop dat trick” last night when Lucious was talking to Luda?

Welp!!! LOL!!!

There’re allowed one. This doesn’t mean sudden and imminent death. The ending was everything! ??

Whur u finna go? Home?

New post

New post. … more gay folks having issues

Zackly….

Okay, I will use that one.

Yup home

Yes, I had to rewatch the scene to get it. Lucious’ issue with Andre is because his mother was bipolar and he passed the genes to his oldest son.

While the writing sucked, the look on TH face as he looked at Andre, with the flashback it all made sense to me now. That’s why he didn’t want him labeled in season one. He grew up with it and now his son has it.

Lol

I think gay is the only the focus of some viewers. Gay just happens to be part of the story. It seems to be the only thing some can focus on.

There’s a reason Lee Daniels has never received an Oscar nom for directing, although one movie, Precioius, got several noms. I think Lee thinks he’s a Spielberg or Cronenberg type director. He’s not that great and now that he’s on TV, he competes with so many shows….it’s like he’s on training wheels.

Too much gay shit. I get soo turned off from watching it. UGHH

All the glory is going to the gay son, of course because it’s Daniels writing. Show us more of Hakeem and where is his ex girlfriend that looks like Rihanna

sensless cameos, its like a celebfest. people want good stories

Lol it was a mess… Did they just forget about Malik Yoba character being murdered.. Nobody didn’t miss him nothing… Brought to us from the makers of precious…

I don’t watch this show , but it sounds like this mess is going to cost him. He needs to pay attention to what happened with Desperate Housewives. That soap could still be on today…. bad writing, and too many character kill off’s killed that show.

They are trying to do too much and it’s taking away from it. I’m excited about HTGAWM tonight though.

Some dudes need a urban chick… Isn’t Lamar a drug head? What amazes me is he got too brand new with Khloe… Only to end up a drug addict… Wow idk about those kardashians and the weak men they destroy. The only man who didnt seem weak was Scott…the men they ruin lol whole other convo.

!! man true blood got so god awful. I hated Sookie. I think I watched until Season 3 then quit.

I always liked your blog… Glad it’s inclusive with the comments.. I used to read the old site and thought y’all Was like a sorority or something. Lol ?? people only hate because they couldn’t post and you had some good items up.

who are they? full names please

What “new” writing style? I haven’t changed my writing style at all.

Her left hand.

The pointless cameos are killing me for realz. Chris Rock’s character was interesting, I thought his was a mid-season story arc at least. Nah, another pointless cameo just like Luda last night.

And they still haven’t shown a scene to explain when the gay dude got so crunk…WTF…and his falsetto is starting to chafe.

Lee’s personality (the Vine above for example) is getting on my nerves anyway. Imma bail soon, Taraji can’t carry the whole show.

That scene with the judge pissed me off. As a writer, I know I could never present last night’s script to any reputable studio and not get pages of notes.

That scene was stupid. When Andre asked Luscious why he hates him, the scene where he thought back to being a kid was dumb. Many viewers forgot that Lucious’ mother had mental issues. What was the point of his day dream in the middle of his son needing to be comforted or at least real talk from his father?? Dumb.

There should have been a transition in Jamal’s character practically hating his father end of season 1 and wanting to bring him down to all a sudden in season 2, he’s his number 1 fan? Huh?

Lastly, WTH happend to Derek Luke and all this security they needed in the last few episodes of season 1? The head of the company is in prison and the “managing son” is green, should security be in a couple scenes?

Empire is like a penny stock gassed up by hype so it pushed up the ratings, but once you realized there was no substance behind it, it tanks. It’s happening, no matter what Fox reports. They aired 35+ commercials and/or ads for other Fox shows during last night’s episode.

I said once we got past the comical casting of CR, they should have made that a subplot in him putting a hit on Cookie. They got rid of him too soon. And that’s the problem; they’re shutting down plots at the end of each episode. That isn’t going to work.

Like that, Ludacris’ character is out of there. I would have rather seen Luda or the sexy MILF attorney from Boyz in the hood (Tyra Ferrell) go down on a technicality over some silly ass photos of a judge in leather and gagged. You know damn well an attorney would never come to court with that bs.

It would have been more plausible had that bust the milf’s bubble by putting her on blast that she and Luda were workign together to keep his meds from him, harrassing him, trying to get him more time, etc. What a sad, sad, state for black writers everywhere.

My mother keeps bringing that up, like wth happened to nobody even asking about him being gone? Stupid show.

I hear you Emily, but I swear I truly believe Lamar was and still is dealing with abandonment issues. Men can be preyed on too…
I know dude is a big guy, but his episodes (yes I’ve watched some guilty lol) revealed way more that meets the eye. And if he did use drugs, probably more so to fill a void.

I know; they actually dated for a very long time.. I’m sure her latest sistah soul menz do meh wrong song was about him.

Best songs come from breakups…hello Mary J!

???

lmao!!! Chile bawhahahahah

Lee is better with his mouth closed, he said he wants to make us gag which means he’s going to be shoving a lot of unpleasant viewing material down our throats. *in Homer Simpson annoyed voice*

Sandra you ar funny!!
????. Keep on keeping it Real with us. That’s why I am here.. Now let’s talk about having your own talk gossip show. ?

And Sam Smith. Lol

?? you see a comment “she ” made a little while ago…. Sandra has had numerous offers to be in the spotlight and declined… But now she talking bout let’s talk about a talk show??? These new blog runners should just admit we under new management and keep it moving…. They forget the OGs had to have jobs to post. We smaht!!

??????

Ok.

Too many guest stars on one episode, nothing Lee is doing is original & the way people are suing him for stealing their work it might be true that he’s borrowing from shows like power, the wire, and even glee with the music scenes ?? the show is ok but I’m good on all the guy on guy action all the time & multiple storylines that drag on but go nowhere.

And Common…

bingo. social media nerds HATE this show…even the gays, yet they know everything about it from start to finish. Let it be, let it be.

Thanks for the clarification, that had me thinking I am delusional. Why we gotta be filled in by random scrip writers of others show. I appeal to write Mr. Lee Daniels and become lead writer and clean the show up. Gonna now, start the campaign now.

If Dana and Gary are white and love money. There is no stooping. Don’t you know the majorityboffins whites think all black people sell or sold drugs and lived in the hood. Really disgusted by show.

Right his father put him in the trashcan. That kind of hate does not go away with a hit song. Only in Lee Daniels dream. Matter of fact. He should write all the past two episodes as a nightmare of luscious.

This season they are trying to do way too much. All the celebrities they have on there and also the amateurs also. Lee Daniels is doing too much.

It’s when he hooks up with Valeria in bed somewhere. She lipped off again. He checks her and she plays it off by enjoying the gun. I think Season 2, E 1 or 2.

Scott was ruined too…he’s an alcoholic who was only given sex when it was time to consume a baby. Courtney treated him like crap on the show

It was really boring they fukkkin up trynna make cookie look weak & luscious loook strong BYE

I like Scream Queens..lol

i cant fucks with show

Too early for me to judge.. I’ll give it some more time..

i,m waiting for POWER new season,it won,t disappoint

Go for it, no bs. Also, look into writing fellowships too. All you need is the opportunity to showcase your skill.

Sandra you don’t have to blast another blogger to state your claim….you know we enjoy you….that why we’re on your site….don’t get angry or lose your positive spirit

How am I blasting her? Is she still a blogger?

Here’s the thing for me….it’s hard to watch when it’s full of sex!!! The music is sex the dancing is sex the dudes are sex the girls are sex the executives are sex EVERYTHING IS SEX……if that’s all the show is about I don’t need that! Sorry but the show lost a viewer here

Why such a Bitch Sandra? black people always complain about people success.

Didnt they complete it. They were just signing papers, when the security guard shot the man holding everyone hostage.
That was the day we found out lucious fathered Jamals daughter.

Concur on the Guerrilla costume…for what….

well truth be told the Finale was a hot mess too!
