Upon its 2013 debut, comic genius Kevin Hart and the gang of BET’s ‘Real Husbands of Hollywood’ were ratings frontrunners for the network.  Opening to a whopping 4.14 million in January of that year, the show’s first two season’s ratings maintained a buoyancy that helped make it a leader among all cable shows in its time slot.

Fast forward three years and four seasons later, the funnyman probably won’t be finding much to laugh about when he takes a look at the series’ ratings for its season 5 (which premiered October 11, 2016).  Stats reveal this week brought with it the first time over its 5 seasons the show launched to less than 1 million viewers.

The Viola Davis-led murder mystery series ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ was at one time ABC’s highest rated series.  Premiering to a whopping 14 million in late 2014, the critically acclaimed show garnered much buzz among industry insiders and television viewers alike for its suspenseful and ever-twisting storyline.  But, just as its home network tightened its grip on dominating Thursday nights, it appears the series was losing grip on its once-thought-to-be strong viewer base.

And, while season 2 premiered to a commendable 8.4 million, its finale sang a much different tune.  Drawing in 5.29 million, the noticeable dip in ratings made some fans worry ABC was ready to kill ‘Murder’ from its Thursday night lineup.
