SBS 6 has decided to take Johnny de Mol’s music show I’ve Got The Music In Me off the air due to low viewing figures. Why did it fail? “It’s all a bit sad!”, it sounds.
It has passed by most people, but Johnny de Mol has been on the air in recent weeks with a new music show on SBS 6: I’ve Got The Music In Me. This Saturday evening show was directly opposite Wie is de Mol on NPO 1 and Only Joling on RTL 4 and the competition turned out to be too stiff, because the viewing figures were seriously disappointing.
Few viewers
Talpa now takes the Johnny show off the air, despite the fact that he is the boss’s son. “Unfortunately, I’ve Got the Music in Me has not yet attracted enough viewers at the current timeslot,” said a spokesperson. “We have therefore chosen to give the program a different place in the broadcast schedule.”
From next Saturday, SBS 6 will broadcast De Bondgenoot, De Code van Coppens and Het Diner at the location of the music quiz. “This was a programming blunder,” says Tina Nijkamp analysis channel. The show only started two weeks after Wie is de Mol and Only Joling. “So the viewers were already divided. Not smart.”
Why flopped?
What did the viewers think was wrong with Johnny’s program? “I watched a lot of time over the weekend, but in my opinion it has the same problem as similar programs,” says Mr. Deen on NU.nl. “Celebrities who participate to build a funny/fun image. These types of programs should be more about the music.”
“The Top 4000 quiz that SBS always broadcasts at the end of the year also started as a fun music quiz, but has now also turned into hysterical. If I want something hysterical, I will talk to my wife.”
A bit sad
Mr. ML understands that Johnny’s show failed. “It is also by far the worst thing De Mol has ever presented. Not to mention the level of the participants. It’s a bit sad when the presenter has to help. And why can we only do quizzes with discarded celebrities?”
“Allow ordinary Dutch people to participate in this who really have knowledge of music. Just like with De Slimste Sens. The can of smart celebrities is empty, so now put smart fellow countrymen there so that the program remains up to standard. Lingo has also been a ratings hit for years and without celebrities.”
Everything the same
Mr. Ikke50 thinks it’s all too much of the same on TV. “It’s the same celebrities every time, with the same smile, the same gestures, all copied from American TV. And then all those programs look the same. So it’s not surprising to me that one after the other flops.”
A Limbabwaan concludes: “Wow, if someone with that surname is pulled off a John de Mol channel at short notice, then it must all be more than a little disappointing.”
