After Lately To Be Cancelled

I am very afraid that After Lately, the mockumentry of “behind-the-scenes” of Chelsea Lately,may be cancelled after tonight’s “season” finale. I am a huge Chelsea Handler and Chelsea Lately fan, so I am of course a fan of After Lately as well. I love how the shows round-table regulars and Chelsea are able to make fun of each others quirks in a light-hearted, but funny manner.

The show performed well when it premiered on March 6, 2011. I couldn’t find rating info for the first season beyond the series premiere which was watched by 1.2 million viewers. That is good for cable and definitely for E!. Season one ended after eight episodes on April 24, 2011. The second season premiered November 27, 2011 and ran thru January 29, 2012 with another eight episodes. Season two averaged 1.18 million viewers with all but two episodes getting more than a million viewers per episode.

The current season of After Lately hasn’t even attempted to come close to the ratings of the first two seasons of the series. This season premiered February 25, 2013 and concludes tonight(April 15, 2013). Once again the series has featured eight episodes and with seven of those out this season has averaged 0.30 million viewers. The show has failed to even get a half million viewers. I feel like the only thing that will save this show is that it is very cheap to make. Most of the people on the show are there anyways and it is done on the set and offices of Chelsea Lately. 

Why has the show performed so badly in its third season? I think there could be a bunch of reasons for this question. I think one of the biggest problems is it is more than likely a show that many people DVR and watch later. Unfortunately, DVR watches still don’t get counted in the official TV ratings used for advertisers. It doesn’t help that the show isn’t a strong scripted show or an hour-long show, which means fewer people are going to watch it live.

I also don’t think the show benefited from only having eight episode seasons and then not coming on for over an entire year. People may have lost interest even as Chelsea Lately grows in popularity. I really hate to see the show go, but with such low ratings, I expect to say goodbye to After Lately.

Are you currently or have you in the past watched After Lately? Let me know your thoughts on the show and its probable cancellation in the comment section.

 

Chelsea Handler Disses Angelina Jolie… Again

I haven’t blogged since March 18 and that is just for no other reason than I got lazy with starting my You Tube channel up again. I saw this article on Chelsea Handler and thought it would be a perfect first story to start my blogging again.

So, I am very biased to Chelsea Handler if you have read anything I’ve written or watched my vlogs. I know she isn’t everyone’s taste and I don’t care or apologize for loving her to death. I love her attitude and stories and am so happy she is becoming more and more a household name. If you are a fan of Chelsea as I am, you know she hates Angelina Jolie. Why does she hate her? Well, Chelsea is really good friends with Jennifer Aniston and of course has apparently told Chelsea some stories about how Angelina and Brad started dating. I think we all pretty much know at this point that Angelina did steal away Brad from Jennifer. While you can say all you want about Angelina, what does it say about Brad and his relationship with Jennifer? Would Jennifer even want to be dating a guy like that? Anyway, the point is Chelsea has been bad mouthing Angelina again, this time in the magazine More. Chelsea basically just says that she doesn’t think Angelina is trustworthy and wouldn’t be a good close friend. I would just say before we judge Chelsea, she does have the closest source on what happened other than Angelina and Brad(and their lips are sealed), so Chelsea may know what she is talking about. Also, good for Chelsea for making more headlines.

*Disclaimer: I actually like Angelina Jolie and her films and her family and their adventures. A lot of people are horrible, but that doesn’t make them any less interesting or good at their job.

Haircut Time/After Lately

I discuss how I have black people hair and how good After Lately has been this season.

 

Haircut Time/After Lately

It was time for a haircut. When people start talking about how my hair feels and how it is like black people hair, I know it is time to get it cut. It isn’t cause I don’t like people saying it is like black people’s hair, because I don’t care. It is because it gets so dry and unmanageable. As for this season of “After Lately”, it is AWESOME. I loved last season, but this season seems even better.
