A place for civil discussion of the Kardashian/Jenner family and their show(s)!
. I’ve pasted the part relevant to the Karjenners here and will add some additional info in the comments: ——————————————————
Let’s start with The Kardashians. I called this a “dog not barking” candidate for the first half of 2022 because it never made the Nielsen charts. (For new readers, a “DNB” means any streaming film or TV show that fails to make any of the rankings we follow. Basically, a flop, bomb or a dud in the streaming era.) And its Samba TV numbers were merely fine. (Only 810K households for the debut episode though four days. Compare that to the 1.6 million who watched Inventing Anna.)
But Hulu PR reached out to remind me that they had released a datecdote calling it one of their biggest global shows:
But again it never made the Nielsen charts! So it may have been popular round the world, but what am I to do with that here, in the U.S.? Where, presumably, most of their fans are?
To keep myself honest, though there is this Google Trends chart, showing that Hulu did indeed market the show well compared to past cable seasons:
In this case, I think the proof is in the pudding. We now have a second season of The Kardashians. So did it make the ratings?
ETA: To all those downvoting this, it isn’t my opinion lmao. These are based on facts. Not my fault they’re in their FLOP era 😂
