Good news for “Grease”, Bad news for Trump
The ratings are in, the public has spoken. “Grease:YTOTIW” is on the way up, “The Apprentice” is on the way down. It could have been better for “Grease”, but at over 11 million viewers, that’s a decent debut on a night where ABC generally reigns with “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and “Desperate Housewives”. And let’s not forget that forever-favorite on Fox, “The Simpsons.” All aired new episodes on Sunday so The Peacock network had a lot to compete with. Zap2it called the debut “reasonably solid” while Variety was less forgiving calling it “good, but not great.”
Still, “Grease” fared better than “The Apprentice” which only brought in a little over 9 million viewers, the lowest rated premiere for the Trump reality show since it’s premiere. And that is taking all the publicity The Donald has stirred up lately. I’d like to think that this is the American Public speaking, that they’re done with Trump and his obnoxious antics. May be an awful lot to hope for, but a girl can dream. It’s hard to deny the numbers though. “The Apprentice” even ranked behind a repeat of “Family Guy” on Fox during the first half hour of the premiere. Ouch! The Donald had better watch out, of he’s going to be the one getting fired.
