What do you think? Do you like the Eye Candy TV show? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I think the show is different from MTV’s style and so therefore it probably has lower rating compared to the other shows. However, I haven’t watched an MTV show in many years and when this show started I tune in religiously. I missed one episode at the beginning immediately played catch up. I think MTV is trying to find other things that appeal to their viewers and to gain more viewers they should definitely get rid of some trash TV.
I agree, this show has my whole family watching it. Otherwise we wouldn’t be watching MTV.
I love this show- I never knew Victoria Justice from Disney, but she is so adorable, I miss Ben but Tommy is gorgeous (I have 2 adult kids) and have been watching MTV shows for a long time.
Please make Season 2
It’s different for MTV and everyone in my class loves it. My mom who doesn’t like MTV loves Eye Candy. I love eye candy I would be so sad if it cancelled. I watched every episode and enjoyed it. I’m even subscribed to MTV for updates. PLEASE DONT CANCEL

need more people watch it on tv to bring up the ratings then will get season 2
I just read this: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-23/viacom-said-to-plan-companywide-job-cuts-as-tv-ratings-decline
This could mean two things: one that Eye Candy is in big trouble because bad ratings will mean that the cuts will hit low rating shows.
Or it means that the digital strategy that they seem to be doing in YouTube and digital downloads companies will be what brings money to the company. If they have good numbers they’ll keep the series and surely will get more seasons.
So the ratings are not that big of a factor for any Viacom series right now that are focusing on the inertnet.
Love this show please do not cancel.
I agree> DONT CANCEL
I love eye candy, it is the only show I actually get excited to watch every week. The ratings will grow in time, I really hope MTV don’t cancel it
Maybe the ratings aren’t that great but it seems that the real success is located on the digital downloads, if people are buying the series and downloading then they’ll keep the series mostly because it had a great revenue.
The future of the series will be known when the earnings comes out for the first quarter. But I believe they’ll keep the series.
That’s good news, a couple of people I know in Britain watch it online. It’s an exciting show so I hope it gets a season 2.
The wrong network, the wrong time slot, and still this show deserves to be watched. Storylines grab you and keep you interested. Give this time and it will grow and grow. Doesn’t hurt that VJ is smokin!
I really love this show! I watch it every week and I’ve always loved Victoria Justice. I really recommend this show because it’s really good and the songs are rare but I love them so. Always keeps me coming back for more.
Don’t cancel Eye Candy its the only good show. Its so addictive it just pulls you in more and more every episode!!! I’m always on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next. The hardest part about watching it though is waiting another week to find out what happens next!! High recommend Eye Candy!!!
MTV better not cancel eye candy, this is literally the only show i actually want to watch and its a shame that i cant do anything to support it from Europe:(
The numbers are really bad it seems that they are having an even worse problem than Happyland. This type of story should’ve been handled by another network, the story is great but the way the marketing is handled is terrible. Viacom needs a better marketing strategy because in the last year the stock is way down
Totally agree. If it was on a different network the ratings would be A LOT higher than they are now, such a shame really.
I just read the Viacom earnings report and they’re considering cutting jobs, in other words if this series doesn’t take off, they’ll cut it just to save money. Another very important thing is that mtv is having serious drops on revenue, Viacom said they’ll wait for the next Q where the numbers of Eye Candy will appear, that’s the real test whether it will be renewed or not.
I just happened upon this show and love it. It definitely
should be renewed for a second season. I am really looking
forward to the rest of season one.
I believe that the show should be renewed for season 2 because i love watching it at 10 pm central time when there is an encore. Plus the show very enjoyable to watch cause how it affects lives today.
I love this show. The marketing for this show was really bad but I hope ratings go up becuase it is actually good. If your worried that it might suck, watch the 1st episode and judge for yourslelf. You’ll be surprised, I know i was
