No sane person can watch this show, it is probably just DVR's set up to record Conan who also record this awful show.

It should be properly funny like TV from the old days. Two and a Half Men, for example. She should get Chuck Lorre to produce it, get a cool band like Barenaked Ladies or Spin Doctors to do the theme song, and get a cool catch phrase.

What do I know from funny, though. I'm just a simple, country lawyer.

You needed to post the link that provides the evidence.

It seems WAY too high for this show and that network.
The Daily Show only brings in under a million.

Checking the Daily Buzz sources that Wikipedia uses, her show is getting viewed by less people than TDS and about the same as The Nightly Show.

You might be right, maybe you see a source that gets a count of online views and DVRed better than the source Wikipedia is using.

So it'd be great if you provide some links...

Live viewers are up for Full Frontal. Usually its episodes had about 600,000 live viewers, but Sep 28 episode had 1.5 million, the next episode 1.254 million and the latest episode about a million live viewers. A next day repeat of Oct 10 episode had higher ratings and more viewers than the original airing, a total of more than 2 million viewers.

Also its YouTube clips seem really popular. Some have about 2 million views, with titles like PUSSY RIOT, RIGGED!!! and SAUSAGE PARTY:

Let's see how the ratings are once the election fodder is past its prime. The office of POTUS is very tough to carry a high approval rating regardless of the political affiliation of the office holder. I don't see Bee biting the hand that fed her if Clinton gets elected and riding Trump's, Ailes', Limbaugh's, etc. jock will get old after a while even for the most enthusiastic lemming of Bee's show. I am not convinced that this show was not geared up solely for the election and tipping liberal minded followers firmly into the Democrat camp.

I can dig it, especially with the Trump Access Hollywood take down, that was epic and what a lot of people were waiting for. Like all comedy shows it takes a few episodes to get going, but seeing the raw reaction from people; both fans and the haters for TBS this show will be a hallmark. The shows is unapologetic and her voice relevant now.

3.7 million? that a low number. I guess everyone is watching better shows. Like Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Because that a lot f###ing better than this.

Last year most episodes had about 500,000 to 800,000 live viewers on TBS, but the first three this year had about 1.4 million live viewers. TBS must be really happy.
