Nickelodeon might not be as upset over Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy as one might believe. Ratings for Zoey 101 are sky high in light of the teen’s shocking announcement. Last week’s hour long season finale was watched by over 7 million viewers. A repeat the next day yielded over 3 million viewers. Obviously parents aren’t very upset over Jamie Lynn not being quite the role model they had in mind.
The prepregnancy Zoey 101 was a hit performer for Nick, drawing a then-record 3 million viewers for its third-season premiere. As of November, the network said, it was TV’s top-rated show among children aged 9-14.
The postpregnancy Zoey 101, however, was a phenomenon, not only outdrawing every other comedy and drama series on cable, but outdoing Britney Spears’ last prime-time vehicle, the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, which averaged 7.1 million gawkers for the pop star’s comeback "performance."
Among other things, the Zoey 101 season finale was bigger than two college football bowl games on ESPN, the postseason cast reunion on VH1’s I Love New York (4.6 million) and the week’s biggest Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel (3.9 million).
Amazing and disturbing at the same time. What do we think Britney will do to top this?
