Published:August 14, 2012

Here are the ratings for the Secret Millionaire TV series, the program that sends real millionaires undercover in depressed areas. Their goal is to find deserving people so they can give them a little financial helping hand. The third season of Secret Millionaire typically airs Sunday nights on the ABC network.

These are the TV show’s ratings for the Summer 2012 season, the best way to tell if Secret Millionaire is going to be cancelled or renewed for season four.

Check out our ABC ratings report card to see how this show’s numbers compare with the others on the network.

These figures will be updated as the weeks progress so be sure to bookmark and return to this page:

Compared to the second season opener, Secret Millionaire was down by 56% in the demo (vs a 3.4 rating) and down by 56% in viewers (vs 12.67 million). ABC says however that the third season opener was the network’s most-watched program in that timeslot since July 2008. Time will tell if they’re happy enough to renew the series.

Reference point: The six episodes of season two averaged a 2.8 demo rating with 10.7 million total viewers.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

What do you think? Do you like the Secret Millionaire TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?

Love the show – have watched since the first year it was on. Especially liked the series this year and the one that took place in Miami since it is in my own backyard. It is nice when you see that there are people around the country who will step out of their comfort zone to do good for others in a community that they are unfamiliar with.
Please renew for another season. I think if more people were aware that this show was on it would perhaps stir up more interest. I found it my accident this season by just flipping the dial.

Renewed – This is one of the only show I watch every week. It shows hope in the midst of despair. I work at a non-profit in North Carolina. There are millions of people across the US who have to depend on charitable organizations just to survive. I think it is great that there are millionaires out there who want to give back and help support these worthy organizations.

Please Renew THE SECRET MILLIONAIRE…it displays what the true meaning of life is all about..some realize it now..and some will wish they realized it WHEN THEIR JOURNEY ON EARTH IS OVER..and whether we like it or not..it will happen to the richest of the richest… there has to be enough of us to make a difference for THE SECRET MILLIONAIRE..you’ve hit on something VERY BIG … you just haven’t landed on the prosperous page..(there’s nothing wrong with profit..it’s just when bottom line is above all else)..I mentioned earlier on a post..I have a very good idea for a spin off of this show.. it has to do with the youth of today..which I stated before is the foundation of out tomorrow…if you contact me..all it will cost you is a few minutes of your time..and YOU NEVER KNOW IT MAY BE BIGGER THAN BIG!! I’M JUST AN EMAIL AWAY..Deb Yeagle P.S. I’m getting ready to contact OPRAH on this concept for a new successful show…sometimes it’s the one in the corner that hits on the next “BIG THING”!!!

I LOVE Secret Millionaire. I cry at every show. There are so many people/places that try to help the ones that really need it and in fact they are the ones that need help the most staying in business. The millionaire’s have the money and most have a good heart and get something in return by helping.
