The announcement that Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant has proved good news for bosses at TV network Nickelodeon - more than double the normal number of viewers tuned in to watch the season finale of her show Zoey 101.
The fourth series of the children’s program was reportedly under threat after news broke last month that 16-year-old Spears was expecting a baby. But 7.3 million people watched the final episode of Zoey 101’s third season on Friday - over twice as many viewers as usually tune in. Nickelodeon recently confirmed it will begin transmitting the show’s fourth season in February. -IMDB
That’s not necessarily a good thing. People probably just wanted to see what the show was about and if JL was showing already. There was probably a great many people who maybe had heard of the show but did not even now that Brit’s kid sister was in the show.
Yeah, I agree with that. I suspect that a lot of people had never heard of the show and didn’t know anything about it or Jamie-Lynn. When the news of her pregnancy broke, people were curious about the show and the girl, so they tuned in to see what it was all about.
LMAO. Wow. I guess people were just curious?
I don’t even know what Zoey 101 is. But it’s for young kids anyway I think, right?
We don’t have Zoey 101 or Nickelodeon where I live (maybe it’s a good thing)
Do you know Nickelodeon at all? It’s a kids network although they used to have (and maybe still do in some places) Nick at Night which featured classic family TV shows. Zoey was aimed mostly at the tween set, which is why it was a problem that the star got pregnant.
I call it a curiosity factor because most people didn’t know who Jamie Lynn was and really didn’t care
Why is this not more of a story? Is ABC circling the TV wagons? Cover-up to protect ratings?
A married executive at Nickelodeon is the REAL father of Jamie Lynn’s baby. The legal and publicity consequences of this are enormous! It is being kept very hush-hush in the hopes that Casey Aldridge would take the fall - but he is too smart for that - and dumped Jamie…
that’s crazy
