America Ferrera's Web Series 'Christine' Crosses 200,000 YouTube Views From Premiere To Finale

WIGS, the female-centric YouTube channel behind America Ferrera's new 12-part web series, Christine should be impressed with the first season's ratings view count.

The first 11 episodes of the series, which follows a young woman (Ferrera), on a nutty evening of speed dating has amassed 217,180 views on YouTube as of August 9, 2012.

Christine debuted online last month. The season finale will air August 10 on http://youtube.com/wigs

Christine is one of a ZILLION videos out there and 200k combined views for the first season is pretty damn good accomplishment for a scripted web series. Show me one web series out there with hockey stick numbers. View counts fluctuate and there'll always be a drop in viewership from the first episode, so for anyone reading this, swing for the fences in episode one.

Comment by Jarrod on August 9, 2012 at 10:30pm: It makes it sound like more people are watching the show. The way it is phrased gives the impression that 200K different people watched the show.

I feel total views is not the best measure for a series. A better reflection would be average views per episode and percent of audience retained across the season/series.

Comment by Rich Mbariket on August 9, 2012 at 3:50pm: What's misleading about facts Jarrod? Add up the entire season from episode 1 to 11 and the view count is more than 217,000 by now on YouTube.

Comment by Jarrod on August 9, 2012 at 2:41pm: 200,000+ views is a little misleading. The initial episode had around 38k views. That has dropped to around 11k views by episode 10. So far they retained less than a 1/3 of their initial audience.
