During Summer Heat, Cable Reality Shows Sizzle

Bravo and Food Network were two of the beneficiaries of a red-hot July for cable reality shows.
Both networks saw record-breaking numbers for some of their signature programs.
The fifth-season premiere of Project Runway was the highest-rated season premiere for any show in the network’s history. The fifth season as a whole is averaging 1.72 million viewers 18-49 and 2.768 million total viewers. The network also saw gains in fellow competition shows Flipping Out and Shear Genius. Bravo said this July is the network’s highest ever in the key 18-49 demo.
Food had its best monthly primetime performance ever, bolstered by the season-four finale of The Next Food Network Star. The reality competition series, which gives the winner their own series, was Food’s highest-rated and most-watched program in the channel’s history. The season finale averaged 4 million total viewers and 2.2 million in the 25-54 demo the network targets.

I LOVE Project Runway and Shear Genius...

I am sad that the Next Foodnetwork Star is over...what will I watch on Sunday nights? Ice Road Truckers is awful this year.

My husband watches the Ice Road trucker show sometimes. I haven't seen it on lately though.

Anyone watching Design Star on HGTV?

[aoneil]

Did it just start???

[Food Network Fan]

No this week they are voting. We find out who won Sunday.

Darn it...figures. I wish that I would have watched it from the start. Once you mentioned it, I have seen that show mentioned all over. Probably because they are choosing the winner soon. I will have to catch it if they do a marathon.

Been seeing bits and pieces of it, girl and a guy left, both are pretty good. They put them thru a wringer also. guess to get it all crammed into a short enough time, so they can put it on the air.
