Star Search Reboot Ratings Disappoint


This week Tyler Perry's Sistas on BET was celebrated for pulling in 1 million views over three days for the season 10 premier [click here if you missed that]. 

At the same time, the Star Search reboot, hosted by Anthony Anderson, on Netflix is deemed less than a success for nearly the same numbers...

From Deadline
Netflix’s reboot of Star Search won’t be worrying the broadcast networks after all, it seems.
The talent competition failed to hit Netflix’s global top ten charts in its first week and it scored fewer than 2.3M views on the service with its opening two episodes.
The show was, however, to crack the top ten in the U.S. It came in at number five behind His & Hers, Skyscraper Live, Free Bert and Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials and above WWE’s Raw. South Africa was the only other country where it reached the top ten, coming in at number nine.
The move will be a disappointment for the streamer, which was hoping that Star Search could give it a splashy entry into the world of broadcast-style entertainment formats, rivaling the likes of NBC’s The Voice, Fox’s The Masked Singer or ABC’s American Idol.
It wasn’t for lack of star power; the series is hosted by Anthony Anderson and features a judging panel of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Chrissy Teigen and Jelly Roll.

Anthony is wack and so are the judges. You cant get a better panel than that? Not one of them is talented to judge. Bring it to BET. They need new shows besides TP. LOLO
