The season finale of MTV’s “Eye Candy” did not produce a significant ratings uptick.<\/p>\n
Monday’s episode, in fact, saw no absolutely boost in the key adults 18-49 and females 12-34 demographics. It received a minimal boost in total viewership.<\/p>\n
The episode drew a 0.24 adults 18-49 rating with 541,000 viewers. The previous week’s episode scored the same 0.24 adults 18-49 but a slightly lesser viewership count of 525,000.<\/p>\n
Like the penultimate installment, Monday’s “Eye Candy” drew a 0.57 rating in MTV’s core females 12-34 demo.<\/p>\n
Even given the hefty competition its premiere episode faced from the NCAA Championship game, “Eye Candy” got off to a very slow start on January 12. It occasionally enjoyed week-over-week improvement, but it never ventured into ratings territory that could be considered strong.<\/p>\n
No official word has emerged regarding the show’s future.<\/p>\n
Recent cable renewal decisions–including VH1’s “Hindsight” pickup and FXX’s second “Man Seeking Woman” order–make it clear that ratings are not everything in today’s television climate.<\/p>\n
By the same token, MTV canceled comedy “Happyland” after a modestly rated first season and therefore proved that it does take performance into account.<\/p>\n
