I'm honestly a bit disappointed that the viewers decreased from the Freak Show premiere, I expected ~7M, but after consulting with my copy of
A Stan's Introductory Guide to Finding Excuses After Disappointment, I realized that:
- Freak Show was commonly considered the worst season thus far
- Freak Show was carried by the major hype and broader appeal of Coven
- Online TV streaming is at a rapid increase
- Casual viewers may have left after the departure of Jessica
- GaGa's addition may have deterred casual viewers
So, I can be okay with this. I'm very excited to see the 3 day ratings. Do we have those from the Freak Show premiere to compare these to?
