Since June, ABC has been airing a murder mystery reality series called Whodunnit?. Has the show been making a killing in the ratings? Should the network cancel or renew it for a second season?
Whodunnit? follows a group of 13 contestants who have been invited to stay in a Beverly Hills mansion. Guided by host/butler Giles (Gildart Jackson), they try to solve the “murders” of other contestants, uncover the killer’s identity, and survive long enough to ultimately win a $250,000 prize.
The show debuted on June 23rd to a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.05 million total viewers. It wasn’t a very impressive start and the second episode’s ratings dropped more than 20%, to a 1.0 rating and 3.19 million viewers. The numbers have stayed at roughly those levels ever since.
The ratings are pretty lousy but the small audience has remained consistent and loyal. While ABC could justifiably cancel Whodunnit?, something tells me they may give it a second chance anyway.
The network sometimes decides to give struggling shows a bit more time. For example, they could have cancelled Shark Tank after one season but decided to stick with it instead. Their patience was rewarded and it’s grown into a hit show on Friday nights. Whodunnit? might be lucky as well.
But, what do you think? Should ABC renew Whodunnit? for a second season or should they cancel it instead? Have you been watching each week?
Please keep for another season. It took at least two weeks to get understanding, then it was great.
I watch every week PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!
Whodunnit is the most clever reality tv show in years, if u keep it abc i promise u guys wont b disappointed!!! Im 30 my wife is the same, my kids are 14 and 10 and we all cant wait to watch every week. It appeals to a wide range of ppl its a winner
I would hate to see this show be cancelled. I look foward to it all week. This week especially, my sister and I have been counting down for the finale. And my sister is majoring in forensic science in college, and she has very few complaints about the show. Please please please keep our show on! I would hate for ABC to drop it….
PLEASE keep Whodunnit! Best new show on TV now!
Whodunnit is great, Please ABC keep this clever show it has so much potential and keeps viewers hooked!
LOVE this show and have my popcorn ready before each episode. Am soooo sick of all the rubber-stamped crime drama shows and lame sitcoms, but I really enjoy this “spoof” of crime dramas. Thanks for giving us something different and refreshing. I’m also a “Walking Dead” and “Naked and Afraid” fan. As you can tell … I like variety … something that is sorely lacking in what the networks give us these days.
Please keep Whodunnit on the air! I love reading mystery stories, and now get to have one unfold in front of my eyes every week!
I would definitely be in favor of seeing this show return
KEEP IT!!!
Please keep Whodunnit!
You gotta keep it. I can’t wait to watch each episode. There has to be a season 2. This is the best show 😀
Please keep Whodunnit! This is the ONE show my whole family gets together to watch, and our friends watch it too. Then we discuss it during the week and can’t wait until Sunday for the next episode.
Keep it! I keep telling people about it. They didn’t even know it’s on. Its like watchinga live clue game and keeps you guessing. Very entertaining! Please do a second season. Love That Giles!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep Whodunnit!!! It is so awesome, suspenseful, and clever!
I don’t watch it on TV, but I watch it on YouTube. I can never make that time. But keep it. By the way, I think Cris is the killer. She even admitted that she knows a lot about weapons.
