Anderson Ratings Are NOT Getting Better

anderson ratings not going up

He went spray tanning with Snooki! Why are we NOT watching this???

We were truly hoping that the ratings for Anderson would go up, despite a less-than-fantastic premiere…but that doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Anderson's second episode scored another mediocre 1.1/3 household rating, and his rating with women 25-54 only made a very minor jump from 0.6/3 to 0.7/3.

He was basically obliterated by Dr. Phil, who scored a 4.6 household rating for his interview with Casey Anthony's parents.

Come on, people! What's it gonna take for the world to embrace Anderson Cooper as a daytime talk show host? Does he need to order pizzas for all of his viewers to enjoy while watching his show?

Ah well…we're not giving up on Anderson just yet! We're fully prepared to go down with the Cooper Ship if necessary!

What do U think? Will Anderson pull through these mediocre ratings???

Its because of the hatred for gays caused by Perezhilton.com . You FatBoy have turned millions to be put off by any one gay.

I watched his show today, and I loved it! I didn't even know he had started a new show, just happened to stumble upon it.

This guy is filthy rich. Even if the show fails he will be ok and someone will give him another show.

He's pandering to the lowest common denominator and that market has no interest and the demographic that would tune in is turned off. Lose lose.

Hes gone from being relatively apolitical and mildly cerebral to having a political agenda and fawning over "pop" issues everybody covers. It isnt his thing and it makes him just blend in with the rest. Ive seen the show twice. I tried. No more.

Why should the ratings go up? The show stinks! You are so biased towards anything to do with gays that I am beginning to think you are a straight-phobe! Why don't you go on his show as a guest, in your flight pajamas and showing your ugly buck-toothed grin, balding scalp and Hobbit feet? That will really kill the show! Hahaha!

Why does "Anderson" have low ratings? Because even if you like Anderson Cooper, which I do, you could care less about guests like Snooki.

Anderson says "uh" too much when he speaks. I use to respect him until he started hanging with BULLY KATHY GRIFFIN. Anderson should have replaced Regis with Kelly Ripa in Nov. He and Kelly have good chemistry and that is not a mean spirited show. That is why Regis has been on the air so long. People do not think bullies are funny. The world wants to watch shows that make us feel like the hosts give a damn.

Personally, I would never watch it for the exact reason that you stated… "He went spray-tanning with Snooki". Why would I waste my time watching a show like that?!

the truth is, is that he is kind of annoying!!!

It's because the market is saturated with daytime talk shows, they are all a bore and a waste of time. There is nothing different about any of them, they are one giant lump of crap and self-serving bullshit. Cooper is not that likable. I'm surprised you didn't bring up the gay card douchebag.

I watched him and he is taking advice from the wrong people…his show skips around, the Daniel Radcliff part was out of sequence and really Anderson: SNOOKI?!?!?! Where's Anderson?

What is so funny is The Talk's ratings (1.3) are very close yet they are having GREAT ratings, tells you how having friends (or in this case a husband) at the network can change how things are perceived.

I love Andy Coop. How can you not like a Vanderbilt, that is very Un-American lol. The problem is that it's on @ 4pm, the time when his "demographic" is still working. The older Oprah Viewers won't like his "soft daytime show". I do think if he had a couple of days trying to have a real interview with someone that the Former Oprah viewers would've tuned in for.. they would warm up.. He should have try and 50/50 it. We need some fun time with Andy and some hard hitting real topics with Andy. He did interview Amy Winehouses parents which was great, but that is a younger audience. I think he'll get some better fans tuning in when he interviews Glorida Vanderbilt.

This is bad.. but I want the show to fail, so that LIVE can snatch Anderson up when Regis leaves. Anderson and Kelly have great chemistry and he would be a great replacement for Regis… sorry Andy, but just sayin'

Kinda seems like Karma.. all those comments he's made judging other celebrities and acting like he's better then everyone- this serves him right. He passes a lot of judgement, and now the people have passed judgement on him, and this shows in the ratings. No one is interested in what he has to say!

He needs to start his show off w/good guests, NOT Mitch Winehouse & yesterday it was boring find out your dna background BS. I'm a fan of Anderson but they clearly don't know what the public finds interesting. #Figureitout

Re: MsJules – Exactly!! He's a pompous piece of shit. Come out of the closet, ya feyot, and then a few people might tune in!! I know what would get the ratings up!! Anderson and Nate Berkus getting together on each others shows and bottoming for Chad Hunt.

I haven't seen Anderson on Regis/Kelly, only on CNN. I wanted him to do well. I've watched and it just doesn't have a pull. I don't know if he's trying to hard and does so with very little emotion/even inflection in his speaking. C'mon Anderson, you can do this, you don't need it for the money, but there are fans that want to see you in a less than serious role of news anchoring/reporting.
