Monday’s 10 p.m. premiere of MTV’s new Hills spin-off, The City, averaged 1.6 million viewers, a significant drop-off from the season 4 finale of The Hills, whichaveraged 2.6 million at 10 p.m. the previous Monday. The City stars Hills player Whitney Port, chronicling her life after she moves to New York and takes a job working for Diane Von Furstenberg. Monday’s 9 p.m. series premiere of Brody Jenner’s competition show, Bromance, fared even worse, attracting just 963,00 viewers.

I can’t believe that Bromance got 963,000 viewers. But it must be the end of the year, people getting prepared for upcoming New Year’s Eve parties on the 31st. But I will support this show. Brody Jenner doesn’t get the respect he deserves unlike the overrated people on The Hills. He’s very laid back and approachable on this show. Maybe by the second week, more people will warm up to the show. I like the return of the hanging-with-the-guys concept he’s doing. That hasn’t happened on TV since the late ’80s/early ’90s There’s so many women ensemble shows now–why not men? As for The City’s dismal ratings–no comment! I won’t watch that particular show.
What would make the Bromance better is if there really is a romance between Brody and one of the guys. Right now its just guys going after girls and drinking and acting like they need to grow up.
Brody doesnt seem like someone you would want to be friends with. He laughed at the only guy who cared enough to get him a Birthday card.
Sheesh. What an ass.
Bromance failed because it doesn’t have a demographic. I don’t know a single guy who wants to watch a show about guys competing to be another guys friend. PEOPLE DO NOT DO THAT IN REAL LIFE! And tween girls don’t want to watch that either that’s what “Paris Hilton’s my new BFF” was for.
All these people ruining good television to make a quick buck.
