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 renew this show! If it gets cancelled, I will be soooo angry!!
KEEP! Come on now!
Whodunnit? I don’t care.
Why comment then? I do care. This show rocks!
Please keep this show. Let me be on it next season. Please Please
I love whodunnit. It’s my favorite show and every one has different view. My friend thought people were really murdered. she kept watching and we both love it. I am really confused and can’t wait to see the next episode. Cris never got a scared card but Melina randomly disappeared and then they’re are people returning from the dead. It sounds like a cool recipe for a good season ending. Can’t wait for the next season they have to renew it!
I think this is a great show and me and my wife really enjoy it….it is hard to find a creative, well thought out, show like this anymore…Hope it is renewed
I have enjoyed this show since the very first episode! I feel like it started off well and continued to get better every episode! Most shows aren’t at their prime in their first season, but I think it was a pretty good first season (very interesting and I don’t think it was predictable) and has the potential to be even greater! I love the premise of murder mystery party turned TV show! I’m sure more people will follow it if it continues. Bring on Season 2!
Looove this show!!! Keep!
Keep the show!!! It’s my favorite show on tv right now!
Please renew Whodunit! It is the one show on abc that I actually enjoy! Every episode comes with a twist and you learn new things every week. Please give them another chance.
My daughter and I watch this show together. I hope they keep it.
Please give this show another chance! It was the perfect summer series for my kids and I to follow. We love it and we look forward to watching it together every sunday!
I love this show. My whoe family watches in several different households and we love solving this together. Please,please KEEP!KEEP!KEEP!
I wish they keep this show. Every time I like a show the network wants to pull it and it is very annoying. I am usually not into ABC (except for Scandal) at all nor do I like reality type shows (unless they are on the Food Network channel), but I am absolutely in love with this show. I love the mystery aspect of it and can’t wait to see them solve the “murders”. Next week is the finale and I still don’t know who I would consider as the killer…LMAO.
Please renew Whodunnit for a second season. This is the only show that my husband, myself and the kids watch together. We love this show!!! Family time !!! Isn’t that what it’s all about : )
