All this good & bad cr*p that the show has received is probably what they want--to be talked about. No matter how bad it is.

This show was the absolute worst piece of crap!!

Frogichik,
There is a pre-nup in place due to her smart mom. I think he gets around $350,000 a year for half of the number of years they stay married. I heard it was lower until HIS lawyer intervened. Ulterior motives, ya think?

hmmmm, well lets see, how long was he with his other wife (or whatever she was) when she was pregnant... and how far along is brittany... add and subtract a little, and cristina was the bad girl, not the scungie girl...brits mom must be going nuts to not see this, or does she have no influence on her daughter any more...

Anna Nicole, Paris Hilton and what's-her-name and now Brittney and her man/child. Are the ratings really there for these shows?

Rslover, I am glad to hear she made at least one wise decision. $175k a year to bang Britney, not bad for Mr. Federline. I sure think she could've done a little better for that kind of dough. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder and as we know, she finds him sexy! I swear he wouldn't look so bad if he would shave just for once and brush his hair.

If you really want to vomit, try watching The Fabulous Life of Kevin and Britney on VH1!

Kappy, actually, the ratings weren't that stellar for the premiere (even accounting the fact that it's on UPN, whose ratings aren't always great).

Here's a link to a ratings article. In it, you can see how UPN rated compared to other nets on Tuesday night (last), as well as the ratings for this show (2.4). Even the WB's "One Tree Hill" beat this show.

I don't know how to feel about myself now. I idn't know ANYONE watched One Tree Hill.

If no one watch OTH, and even LESS ppl watch the Chaotic show, what should I think of myself now that I watched Ms. Spears the other night!?!

Frogichik,
I think it means he gets $350,000 for two years if they stay married for 4 yrs.

Ratings: UPN's 'Britney and Kevin: Chaotic' disappoints, debuts to only 3.66 million viewers

By Steve Rogers, 05/20/2005

Fewer Americans watched Tuesday's debut of Britney Spears' Britney and Kevin: Chaotic UPN reality show than bought her disappointing 2001 "Britney" album. And despite what UPN's spinmeisters might proclaim, that's not particularly impressive given that compared to the 20 million plus units that her first two albums combined to sell, the controversial singer's "Britney" album has only sold about 4.5 million units.

Despite UPN's previous touting of its landing of Britney and Kevin: Chaotic as a major coup of sorts, the show's one-hour premiere proved to be a largely buzzless bust for the network, with its Tuesday, May 17 9-10PM ET/PT broadcast averaging only 3.66 million viewers, a 1.9/5 rating/share in the Adults 18-49 demographic, and a 2.7/7 rating/share in Adults 18-34.

UPN was quick to trumpet the fact that the debut placed third in its time period among Adults 18-34, second among Women 18-34, and delivered the network's best regular programming performance in the hour since fourteen months ago, however it ignored some other numbers -- starting with the fact that the show ranked dead last among the six broadcast networks (behind even The WB's One Tree Hill) in both total viewers and the Adults 18-49 demographic.

Additionally, the show actually lost about 10% of its audience from its first half-hour to its second, meaning that even some of the few viewers who did tune in for the show quickly tuned out (with a significant amount of them no doubt parents who, having viewed a portion of the program's raunchy sex talk-filled content, took her "if you don't like it, turn the TV off" Diane Sawyer Primetime interview comment to heart.)

As for UPN's time period improvement claim, left unsaid was that despite having the presence of an America's Next Top Model 4 recap special as its lead-in, Britney and Kevin: Chaotic still struggled to significantly outperform the show that has regularly occupied that Tuesday 9PM ET/PT time period since last fall -- the critically-acclaimed (but woefully viewed) Veronica Mars drama that has averaged only 2.36 million viewers a week to rank 185th (out of 199 programs) in the 2004-2005 primetime season rankings (although, in a kudo-deserving move, UPN has renewed the critically-praised Mars for next season.)

Britney and Kevin: Chaotic also came no where near matching the numbers of UPN's America's Next Top Model reality hit, which in averaging 5.13 million viewers during its just-concluded "Cycle 4" run, ranks as the network's most watched series. The pop princess beaten by a bunch of wannabe nobodies? That had to be a blow to the ego.

Eeyore, it means you belong to a small, but discerning group. You're special!

ETA: That kitty picture on your profile page is adorable! (I always find it interesting to see where posters are from. I see you're from Vancouver. I went to the World's Fair there in 1986. A beautiful city!)

OT - LOL BJM. OMG I just read back on my own post. Wow I must have been in a hurry, as my typos are atrocious. LOL.

Ahhh Vancouver. My mother moved us away because of the provincial leader's decision to host Expo 86. I lived right on the waterfront where Expo was held. I work there now too. LOL.

Gorgeous place! It was freeeeezing in May, though. The day we left home (California) it was about 80 degrees, but when we got to BC it was cold and windy! Think it was only in the 50's, but it felt like the dead of winter! We went up Grouse Mountain on the tram. It was raining at the bottom and snowing at the top. Beautiful!

does ms spears think this show is going to help her? i have to admit i watched it, and i was pretty turned off by it (especially her). it was like watching the blair witch project...only it was better. guess she ain't a "virgin" anymore?

one tree hill is a pretty decent show, i have to say, but curiosity got the better of me, and i wanted to see what brit's show was like....i think i saw enough. one tree hill, here i come. LOL

I watched about 7 minutes total the first week out of curiosity. I kept flashing back on Madonna and that movie she made of herself. But in this day and age, I'm not sure Britney can pull off the same kind of stunts and survive.

I wish Britney would watch Rob and Amber Get Married and see what love and marriage SHOULD be like ...

How ironic, there's been 3 episodes and no one is talking about it. Not even how pathetic this show is.
Brittany, this is not chaotic, it is a catastrophy.

Like a train wreck, I've wanted to watch it (If nothing, just to ridicule it), but happily my dignity has kept me away.

I've seen two episodes, to my everlasting shame (I think they were the first two or something). Mostly they consist of Britney providing the keen analysis of her/his/their crappy behavior as she/he/we were just scared of . . . fill in the blank (falling in love, the plane crashing if the pilot couldn't see the ground, Kevin getting beat down by her bodyguards, Kevin having no job and not paying child support, not having enough to smoke, running out of cheetos and red bull, gaining weight, dressing with class, taking showers, behaving like adults, yaddabling). They're just scared, ya'll. Fed said he was scared, too (hello how old are we?), but methinks Fed was just scared of losing his ride on the moneytrain. And apparently we're supposed to be blind to the fact that Fed is stoned out of his pun'kin most of the time. We're not talking loopy Paula stoned, we're talking slumped on the couch with baked eyes and slurring. You snagged yourself a good one there, Brit, but then again you're no trip to Paris (unless we're talking about Hilton, and I'm not going there). Oh, and apparently they bang really good. Brit's really impressed with the banging, she tells everyone she meets.

You know that song by the Dixie Chicks "White Trash Wedding"? Complete with banjos and train sounds on the violin? That should be the background music for this show. It's not even interesting from a trainwreck point of view. Whatever sympathy I felt for Brit over getting kicked around so hard in the press is now gone. They don't have to make things up, she gives them more than enough unfortunately true material.

PS I want that hour of my life back.
