Two highly anticipated reality TV shows debut to disappointing ratings this past week.
THE CONTENDER, one of the most expensive television series ever created, debuted on NBC this past Monday to dismal results.
The boxing reality TV series garnered a disappointing 8 million viewers, though it did manage to win its time period among men 18 to 34.
Tomorrow, NBC will premiere the second episode of THE CONTENDER on a special night at 10:00pm ET/PT, then will settle in to it´s regular time slot on Sundays at 8:00pm ET/PT.
STARLET, Faye Dunaway´s acting reality TV series on THE WB, became the least-watched TV series premiere of the TV season on any network, with only 1.6 million viewers tuning in.
