MTV is moving forward on a food-themed Ridiculousness spinoff called Deliciousness. Tiffany Thiessen hosts and the panelists are Angela Kinsey from The Office, Kel Mitchell from Kenan & Kel and Tim Chantarangsu from Basic to Bougie. Deliciousness starts with a holiday-themed week-long stunt Dec. 14-18 at 7 p.m. ET/PT. 

“From food blunders to restaurant fails to kids in the kitchen and more, Deliciousness celebrates our greatest indulgences – food and drink,” said MTV. “Helping to satisfy the foodie in all of us, each episode will showcase the internet’s most viral and entertaining videos.”

Thiessen’s work includes Alexa & Katie, Beverly Hills 90210 and Saved by the Bell.

Ridiculousness, an internet video show hosted by Rob Dyrdek, will lead into Deliciousness Dec. 14-18 with 10 new episodes.  

Ridiculousness and Deliciousness are produced by Superjacket Productions, a subsidiary of Thrill One Sports & Entertainment, and Gorilla Flicks.

This is a quick snapshot of linear TV trends for the week of July 13-19, revealing the most-watched shows and networks using glass-level data from Inscape, and the top shows and networks by TV ad impressions via iSpot.tv.

Most-Watched Shows and Networks 

Via Inscape.tv, the TV data company with insights from a panel of more than 15 million smart TVs. Data is linear, live TV only and includes all episode types (new and reruns). Rankings are by percent share duration (i.e., time spent watching).

Looking at shows, of all the minutes watched by smart TVs that Inscape measured in all dayparts, 1.08% of the time was spent on PGA Tour Golf, an increase from the previous week’s percent share duration of 0.88%. Ridiculousness (0.82%) and Friends (0.79%), which both aired over 200 episodes last week, surpassed morning talk shows to round out the top three.

On the network side of things, of all minutes watched last week, 6.27% of the time was spent on NBC — a move up from the previous week where it was No. 2. Second and third places go to ABC (6.07%) and Fox News (6.02%). Other networks rising in the ranks compared to the previous week include Hallmark Channel, Investigation Discovery, Nickelodeon, Univision, TNT, The Golf Channel and TV Land. 

Top Shows and Networks by TV Ad Impressions

Via iSpot.tv, the always-on TV ad measurement and attribution company. Rankings are by TV ad impressions, for new episodes only. 

Although the show ranking was mostly dominated by news and morning talk shows, sports programming makes an appearance — PGA Tour Golf was No. 1 by TV ad impressions (849.5 million), while NASCAR Cup Series was No. 11 with 466.7 million impressions. Meanwhile, America’s Got Talent and Days of our Lives both made the top 15; those two along with CMA Best of Fest were the only non-news or sports programming on the ranking.

For the second week in a row, Fox News took first place with over 6 billion TV ad impressions, a slight increase from last week’s 5.9 billion. CNN followed with nearly 4 billion impressions, and ABC (3.7 billion) edged out NBC to be the top broadcast network. Three Spanish-languge networks also made the top 25 list: Univision (1.4 billion impressions), Telemundo (814.1 million) and UniMás (237.2 million). 

Inscape, the TV data company with insights from a panel of more than 15 million smart TVs, just released the top 25 rankings for networks and shows in June, based on percent share duration (i.e., time spent watching linear, live TV). 

For networks, Fox News Channel leads with a percent share duration of 6.60% for the month. CNN came in at No. 6 with 3.98% share duration, behind the big four broadcasters.

On the show side of things, morning talk shows captured both first and second places: ABC’s Good Morning America had a 0.86% show share of duration while NBC’s Today had 0.80%. At No. 3: MTV’s Ridiculousness (0.79%), which also happened to be the top reality TV show in June.

There’s no denying the broad appeal, for better or worse, of reality TV. Whether for pure escapism or comic relief (i.e., laughing at other people’s drama), there’s probably at least one reality TV show out there you’ve watched. 

Inscape, the TV data company with insights from a panel of more than 15 million smart TVs, analyzed the reality genre in June and found that when it came to percent share duration (i.e., time spent watching), MTV’s Ridiculousness wins hands down, accounting for 17.14% of time spent watching shows in the reality genre on linear TV (for the purposes of this analysis, food/cooking competitions and home improvement shows were left out). 

Ridiculousness also aired the most episodes — 506 — while the show with the second highest episode-count had hundreds less: Cheaters aired 181 episodes and clocked in with 1.11% share duration for the reality genre in June. It probably helps that MTV often airs Ridiculousness in marathons, making it easy for viewers to consume hours at a time. It’s also worth pointing out that MTV is the network with the highest percent share duration (20.14%) for reality in June.

Interestingly, Bravo fan-favorites are lower on the list: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills came in at No. 12 with 1.76% share duration, Vanderpump Rules took 18th place with 1.13% share duration and The Real Housewives of New York was No. 22 (1.03%). 

What else do Ridiculousness viewers like to watch? Inscape’s crossover data shows that topping the list are: Catfish: The TV Show, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Teen Mom OG, Teen Mom 2 and Cheaters.

On the advertising side of things, ads that aired during episodes of Ridiculousness racked up over 3.5 billion TV ad impressions in June, according to iSpot.tv, the always-on TV ad measurement and attribution company. Brands that had the highest impression-counts included Subway (82.8 million impressions), Hershey’s (76.9 million), McDonald’s (75.2 million), Wendy’s (69 million) and Popeyes (61.6 million).
