In the end few cared.

HBO’s “Allen v. Farrow” was a ratings bust on Sunday night. Total viewers came to 394,000. The one sided, poorly fact checked hour lost to everything on cable TV including a Weather Channel special. It even lost to a preview of The Walking Dead. The audience rejected part 1 of rehashed, manipulated material.

“Allen v. Farrow” was at least the 9th most watched cable show at 9pm including something called “Wicked Tuna.”

This doesn’t bode well for the next three Sundays at 9pm, particularly since the series is riddled with errors and fakes having Woody’s words spoken via unauthorized clips from the audio version of his autobiography.

Keep refreshing…
