The Ellen DeGeneres Show has been the hit newsmaker of the season with grabbing headlines every now and then. A few days ago, it was learnt that the show was discontinued by Australia’s Nine network and the latest thing about it is, the rerun of Desperate Housewives has surpassed the numbers of the talk show in television ratings.
Yes, you read that right. Once the popular talk show across the globe has been surpassed by the rerun of American soap opera by a huge margin. For those who are unversed, Desperate Housewives has been allotted a prime time slot to replace the talk show. And seems like the decision has worked in favour of the network.
On Monday, Desperate Housewives was viewed by as much as 73,000 viewers. On the other hand, The Ellen DeGeneres Show had just managed a viewership of 49,000, as per dailymail.co.uk’s report. It is being said that such a huge gap in ratings and ongoing controversies about the show will help the network to negotiate the deal with Warner Bros Television for the new season.
