Fox's Rocky Horror Picture Show Ratings Are In...

...What Went Wrong?

"The ratings for Fox's Rocky Horror Picture Show remake are in, and something tells us the network won't be feeling the urge to do the time warp again any time soon.

The Laverne Cox-fronted production pulled in only 4.9 million total viewers, which has to be a disappointment. While the musical did double the Thursday night numbers that Rosewood and Pitch are currently averaging, its returns are well below the 12.2 million total viewers the network saw from Grease: Live earlier this year. In fact, among all the musicals made for TV—live or otherwise—since NBC kicked this whole thing off with The Sound of Music in 2013, Rocky Horror comes in dead last behind 2014's Peter Pan, which still had nearly double the viewers.

So what went wrong?"

Well, I can say that it's kind of a bummer, but at least I watched it.

I heard viewers rated it "Not Enough Tim Curry/10"

Not camp enough.

I honestly had no idea they were doing this, or else I'd of watched.

Watched it last night, I liked it.

Rocky Horror was Rocky Horror because it was subversive and counter culture. What is this other that the soon to be yearly lead in to the peanuts Halloween special? What is ironic is they could have made a movie that stays true to the original. My pitch would have a gay married couple with kids on their way to a PTA meeting breaking down and being seduced by wierdo fundametalists. Tim Curry could even have starred as one of the couple. Write a few new songs and they rest writes itself. It failed because what they made was Everyday Normality Picture Show. That's not Rocky Horror.

Love Rocky Horror but dislike remakes and do not even see the point of remaking a musical. It isn't something that can be improved upon with better technology, so mostly it just seems like a night of cover bands. If you want to listen to Rocky Horror covers you don't need to wait for Fox to make anything. You can just swing by the theater or hit up Youtube.

Who wants to see a pre-recorded version of a remade musical?
