Ratings Review: Q'VIVA - THE CHOSEN
Q'VIVA: THE CHOSEN was doomed from the start. I mean, why else would FOX place it on Saturday nights?
The one thing I do remember about how FOX handled this series was that it had very little promotion and what it did have didn't start until about one to two weeks before it premiered. So it was not surprising that the show tanked in the ratings and was pulled from prime time after four weeks.
Q'VIVA found out there is something worse than Saturday night, and that is Saturday LATE Night. That is where it finished its run. I don't have any ratings for that finale episode, but needless to say, it was below the 1.7 million viewers it drew from its last prime time airing.
Since FOX has made the decission to phase out COPS from Saturday nights, it has been a stuggle for them. Most programs have been doing worse than even what a repeat airing of COPS would do. but, nothing has done as bad as what Q'VIVA: THE CHOSEN did in the spring of 2012.
