SUPERNOVA's 'Rock Star' Is A Ratings Loser

July 6, 2006

Colin Mahan of TV.com is reporting that the second-season premiere of CBS's "Rock Star", where one lucky singer lands the frontperson spot in a rock band, placed third in its time slot, according to Nielsen overnight ratings. Time-slot competitor "So You Think you Can Dance" earned first place while NBC's "America's Got Talent" scored second in a close race.

"Rock Star: Supernova"'s 90-minute premiere earned an average 2.2 in adults 18-49, slipping 8 percent from season one's 60-minute premiere, which nabbed a 2.4 in the demographic, according to TV.com.

At 8 p.m., the first hour of "So You Think you Can Dance" took top honors with a 3.0 rating, followed by a repeat of "America's Got Talent" and "Rock Star", each with a 2.1.

At 9 p.m., the second half of "Dance" moved up to a 4.2, a new "Talent" perked up with 4.0, and "Rock Star" petered out with a 2.0.

Last summer, "Rock Star: INXS" featured the Australian band searching for a replacement singer for the late Michael Hutchence. The show received middling ratings, averaging a 2.5. This season of "Rock Star" features MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee and ex-members of METALLICA and GUNS N' ROSES searching for a lead singer for their new "'supergroup," SUPERNOVA. Also last summer, Lee starred in "Tommy Lee Goes To College" on NBC, which received barely passing grades.
