After spending approximately $500 million on the biggest television streaming event of all time, Amazon has brought in 1.8 million US viewers for episode 1 of THE RINGS OF POWER.
>Superman & Lois on the CW - a true capeshit classic - 1.6m damn! so close! almost edged out the CW production let's read on: >Domino Masters - a show about stacking dominos - 2.05m >The Amazing Race - season 33 - a show which no one has mentioned since Operation Iraqi Freedom - 5.5m >Americas Funniest Home Videos - a show which became defunct 15 years ago - 5.1m >Young Sheldon - 9.2m
wow! feel free to include some other great television which outperforms THE RINGS OF POWER, a show which is so heavily advertised I got phone popups about it

Did you know CBS is on season 6 of SEAL TEAM, a show about Navy Seals? I didn't. I never heard of it, never saw it advertised, never heard a word spoken about it. Well, someone must have, because it got 4 million more viewers per episode than ROP
Yes user but each one of those 1 million viewers is spending 15$ a month to watch it. None of those young Sheldon viewers are directly paying cbs

Speaking of CBS, BOB HEARTS ABISHOLA is on season 4 of a sitcom about a guy who loves compression socks and a black woman named Abishola. Never fuckin heard of it. Sounds like a recipe for success - It must be, because this season got 5 million more viewers per episode than RINGS OF POWER
Everyone is familiar with THE MASKED SINGER, which pulled 4 million more viewers than RINGS OF POWER. But did you know Ken Jeong is hosting a blatant rip-off on Fox called I CAN SEE YOUR VOICE? Probably not- like you, I had no idea this existed. But it pulled in 2x as many viewers as RINGS OF POWER
Fox has yet another MASKED SINGER ripoff, called ALTER EGO where contestants perform as CGI holograms. This also pulls 2x ROP viewership. Wow! There are three separate mystery singing competitions which each pull in more than 2x the viewers than Amazon's flagship $500million show!
I always wondered what Robert Goulet would look like at 300lbs.

I thought this shit cost a full billion. Are they trying to downplay how much they spent to make shit?

>Amazon has brought in 1.8 million US viewers for episode 1 of THE RINGS OF POWER.
LMAO, 1.8 million? That's it? All that money and advertising and they only managed to get 1.8 million people to watch? A famous YouTuber can get in like 2-3 times as many views as that for a single 5 minute video without paying a penny in advertising.
No wonder they're tripling down on trying to pre-emptively frame the show's failures on racist online commentators.
They say 500 million for production and 250 million on advertisement, but that shit is everywhere, I have no doubt that they spent another 500 million on adverts.

I really want to return to DOMINO MASTERS. This is a reality competition series on Fox hosted by the fat gay guy from MODERN FAMILY. The show is about three teams competing to stack dominoes.
Let me say that again: this show is about stacking dominoes. I never heard of it and thought it was a joke at first. At 2m viewers per episode, it has more viewers than RINGS OF POWER
>500 million With that kind of money they could have nuked Israel or paid people to get guns and just sweep all of africa killing every nigger in sight Instead these people produce this trash
Blake Turner
Where did you find the numbers? I want to check some other streamed shows

And they're about to pay a whole lot more for damage control articles in the media so that they can make it seem like they're not to blame for the show failing but rather the "racist" online trolls.

>1.8 million that's like 4 popcorn in bed videos!

Meanwhile, in the world of anime television...a loyal viewership that Jeff Bezos can't buy.
But user, you say, these are all NETWORK shows. It's not fair. Network television is OTA, its free, it always pulls higher numbers.
OK, it's not 1979 anymore but whatever. Lets go with that. Let's compare it to some cable television shall we?
GUTFELD! is the inexorable late night show on FOX NEWS, a cable channel. It is extremely not funny. Nobody ever mentions it except to dunk on the network late night offerings. I am unaware of any living person who watches it, and I know a lot of old people.
It airs 5 nights a week. It is extremely low budget. It looks like a joke from 30 ROCK. It gets half a million more viewers per night than Amazon's RINGS OF POWER
>The streaming debut of “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” reached an estimated 1.8 million U.S. households last weekend, according to Samba TV. That's Amazon Prime's biggest debut of the year, the research company said.

kek jesus christ this thread should be copypasted daily under every single shill thread

Doesn't the 1.8m only count smart tv viewers rather than other ways of watching?
