To be honest, ABC has a bit of a dilemma on their hands. The show “The Real O’Neals has had very inconsistent ratings during their time on ABC. This week they garnered a 1.0 rating, which is consistent with the last week rating, but not consistent with the 1.85 rating that it received with the second episode which gave us a lot of hope for the sitcom. Also, Christian and Catholic groups as well as publications such as The Christian Examiner have went on a attack, saying that the show mocks God. Let’s see how this backlash affects next week show. Personally, I would not renew the show but as we all know, numbers speak louder than words. I believe they won’t renew if it goes lower than a 1.0.
Twitter followers for the show are now at 5717 which is also a confusing sign. Are the followers of the show not social media users? Or is the show just not picking up with the youth and the trend setters?
