Don't Blame Vanity Fair

Filed under: TV News > Disney > Miley Cyrus

Ratings for Hannah Montana are down, and Disney must not be happy that their cash cow is suffering.

But, according to reports, Hannah Montana was on the decline even BEFORE the Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair "scandal" rocked our worlds.

The audience for Sunday's new Hannah Montana episode fell 14% from the previous fresh episode, which aired just under two months earlier, say the ratings gurus the Nielsen Company.

Compared to the first original show of the year, which aired in January, viewership for Sunday's show was down 26%.

Don't blame Vanity Fair.

Just blame Miley!

      It actually wasn't a new episode. My niece and I had both seen it before on youtube. But whatever, she's growing out of Hannah Montana and so are her fans.

      So let me get this straight. Miley poses with her back exposed and people stop watching her show. JamieLynn Spears gets knocked up at 16, yet the ratings for her show goes up.

      Hmmmmm, only in America kids, only in America.

      Someone make her have a breakdown like Britney. Who's got the buzz-cutter? C'mere Miley…it's for the ratings…DO IT FOR THE MOUSE!

      She's adorable. I really don't understand why all the adults…like you…are so up her ass giving her so much grief.

      Actually, blame DISNEY for showing so freaking many reruns that our kids stop bothering to tune in. They try to make as much money as possible in exchange for doing as little as possible. They don't make enough episodes. Our children get disgusted and bored. They do that with all Disney shows. That corporation has no respect for it's fans whatsoever. It isn't the happiest place on earth. It's the greediest place on earth.

      37

      Lmao perez it's not mileys fault I mean the hannah montana show is just repeats finally a new show is on this week but a new show hasn't been on for awhile only so many times you can watch the same episode over and over again. Maybe if they had her working on new episodes the show would be doing good I mean I seen every single episode over 20 times now

    38. casa says – reply to this


      38

      My daughter loves Hanna Montana, but the show is always a rerun. Disney needs to lay off the reruns and run new episodes.

    39. PEREZ U ARE WRONG says – reply to this


      39

      I DONT THINK ITS MILEYS FAULT OR VANITY FAIRS!

      I think it might has something to do with SUMMER BITCH! NOBODY IS INSIDE AND WATCHING TV, JUST LOOK AT THE POPULAR SHOWS LIKE (GREYS ANATOMY, CSI, AMERICAN IDOL ETC)!

      MILEY WILL NOT DISAPEAR IN A WHILE, LITTLE GIRLS ADORE HER, HER MOVIE THAT WILL BE OUT IN 2009 WILL PROBABLY BE A BLOCKBUSTER:)
      AND HER NEW ALBUM WILL PROBABLY BEAT MADONNA THIS SUMMER!!!

      im with you on blaming miley and not vanity fair and the photographer.

      the pictures werent horrible or racey to me.
      they're making it seem like 15yr old kids arent trashy or skanky.

      they're making it seem like vanity fair to advantage of the situation.
      its not like they raped her.
      people need to get over it already.

    41. Silly Perez says – reply to this


      41

      1- Its a kids show, and your blaming "ratings". These are kids that your counting on to tune in…silly.

      2-Mileys awesome, like I said before I can't wait until she makes good/older music I will love her even more.

      3- Simply…leave her alone. Its some fucking pictures…

      i actually watched it for the first time specifically due to the VF hubbub. I don't really get how she is two people and the snotty girls don't get it and I have serious questions about BRC's hairline, but I can see why the kids like it. it's cute. i like her husky speaking voice.

    48. Kitten says – reply to this


      48

      She's just 15. People talk about her like she's a savvy 35 year old with tons of entertainment experience. Remember that she's just a child! Please be kind.

      56

      Dude lay of her! She's 15 for crying out loud! The picture is NOT Miley's fault nor is it Annie's fault. It was a beautiful picture taken tastefully and it captured Miley's beauty and childlike innocence. Its Disney's fault that Hannah Montana is not its hightest rated show anymore bc they do nothing but show re-runs. Sit and watch Disney for a day and you will see they NEVER show a new episode. ever.Kids dont want to see the same thing over and over again thats one reason why they eather watch something eles or dont watch tv at all. Its pretty fucked up that Disney has turned in to a greedy corperation who preys on kids and their parents money. Walt Disney himself would turn over in his grave if he knew what has happend to his Company. Its sick! They dont even make good movies anymore and they destroy all their classic films by making crappy sequels. Its Not even about classic disney anymore its about pre-packaged Teen Pop and braishwasing teens girls and kids in to thinking that a band like the Jonas Brothers are the next Rolling Stone. Yeah in America's worst fucking nightmare! Whats more messed up is that Disney did NOTHING to Vanessa Hudgens when her naked picture came out and Nickoldeon does nothing to Jamie Lyn after she gets knocked up but Miley does a professional photoshoot and does ONE picture where she looks topless and has a sheet covering her entire front and exposing her back the whole world goes Ape shit.

      57

      i think the only reason that hannah montana is going down, is because the shows don't come out as often.

      they should have more come out faster

    58. lizzard says – reply to this


      58

      Well, I like watching the show and I'm in my 20s… Also, they should blame poor advertising. I never saw one commerical for a new episode. when they play as many repeat shows as they do, you can't sandwich a new episode in between them chances are people won't watch

    59. haha says – reply to this


      59

      her show SUCKS… they have o have gueststars on it every episode to keep ther ratings up

      Hannah Montana is getting old…. sure children like her .. but there CHILDREN they dont know any better.. Miley Cyrus has talent she just needs to be more mature and she might have for teen fans..

      okay we FUCKING get it (that you hate Miley)…. LEAVE HER ALONE.
      you have become boring in your posts. Before you were always against Britney and now its Miley. SHES ONLY 15. DO YOU GET IT OR ARE YOU RETARDED. I bet at 15 years old you were a fat looser in high School that nobody likes beacause you were acting like a moron. So now, you are old enough to get help and stop acting like you were in HIGH SCHOOL.

      When are tv execs going to learn that creating month long gaps between new episodes is not a good idea. Watching TV shows is habit forming, when you break the habit, its hard to get back into it.

      Well, first, her show is already super lame. && then there's the fact that people are getting sick of seeing her ugly face everywhere. And also, most of her fans are little kids, anyway so…maybe they're over Hannah Montana.

      You need to go back to life school.
      1RST: learn how to respect others ” cash cow ” (not professional at all)
      2nd : learn how to be OPEN MINDED
      3rd : dont threat people around you like trash, just to prove yourself
      that you are over them (we are all equal, you are not superior)
      4th : stop doing brainwashing and giving your position for the same subject over and over in different posts

    83. Katie says – reply to this


      83

      It's because the recent episodes have been leaked on the internet for a couple months. Like the one it showed a couple fridays ago i had seen over 2 months ago and they had been on youtube for a while. People have already seen the episodes and plus airing things on fridays are bad ideas. Who really stays home on fridays? that's why other shows like Las Vegas and Friday Night Lights got bad ratings even though they are great shows

      Shes 15, and quite frankly, everyone makes tons of mistakes in thier life time,
      she hasnt done anything HORRIBLE,
      and I think all of you guys should leave her alone, because you dont even know her to judge her!
      slut this slut that, whore?? Yeaaa your cool, you know this how.. I really doubt shes a any of those things, and if you think so, prove it?
      All of you need to grow up and stopped being obsessed with your wit and putting other people done.

      What fucking scandal?? The only reason it is a scandal is because Miley opened her stupid little mouth and started apologizing for the pictures. It's like, why should she be sorry?

      Its ridicilous to trash Miley in the media, she is only 15!!!!
      And those pics werent any nude pics, are u kidding america? seriously, so much news about one pic? If the papparazzi takes a pic of her at the beach, the pic at the beach would be more reaviling than this.
      There are tons of more important news than this, i mean, whats going on in Burma right now, thousands of people are dying. COME ON AMERICA, you trash a 15 year old girl in the media because of a half nude pic, there are lots of more important news.
