Default Should TOWIE be axed?
Its now getting about 900k official rating since moving to ITVBe and from 2012 -2013 it was getting officials of 1.5 (near BB).

I think the cast is dreadful now, not watched it since Mark left I think, the original cast were watchable and decent, but now I don't like it.

ITV give it so much promotion but it doesn't seem to work, ads of it are shown during prime time TV watched by millions a few times a show.


Do you think the show has a future? Or is the show over?

It should have been gone years ago, it's way past it's prime now.

yep, series 1-4 were good I think, it started to go down hill from there. Think it will be gone by 2016, there probably do a couple more series.

I've never watched it so I can't comment on any potential decline in quality but I can't say it's ever appealed to me. I've always been surprised it's lasted this long to be honest.

Never watched it, but did they not anticipate a rating dip moving it to an irrel channel

I don't watch it so doesn't bother me either way. It doesn't interrupt my television viewing.

It should have ended a long time ago. Geordie Shore and MIC still has some life left in it

I don't watch it ever, so I don't care but I always hope TV shows stay on as long as it has fans and 900k isn't horrible to be honest so I hope it stays on for the fans if nothing else.

I wouldn't want it off the air because it's on a channel I'm never going to invest time in and people (for some reason) enjoy it

I haven't watched TOWIE for a couple years now.

I still enjoy MIC, but it will never be as good as it was in the first 4 Series.
