Telly’s Take
Although Schwarzenegger’s first season of The New Celebrity Apprentice has dropped off in the ratings, it is still pulling in numbers comparable or superior to some of the network’s scripted programs. If the ratings continue to fall, I reserve the right to change my mind. Right now, though, I suspect NBC will renew The New Celebrity Apprentice for season nine. It can’t be all that expensive to produce since the corporations the celebs work for fund the challenges. As we know, television is all for the love of money. And they call me a bird of prey?

What do you think? Do you think that NBC should have renewed The New Celebrity Apprentice TV show for season nine?
I think the show is no longer watchable for me.. I liked it when it was Trump running it, but not thrilled with Mr. Schwartznegger’s efforts on the show.. It can go away as far as I am concerned
I have not, and will not watch any prime time NBC television shows or ANY NBC news programs until The New Celebrity Apprentice is cancelled. It is wrong that the President of the U.S. is still trying to be executive producer of the show. Maybe that’s why he gets so many facts wrong. He is too busy trying to manage all he has to manage and so cannot stay up on what’s most important right now – leading the country.
