Here is some updated info... Variety has reported that the ABC special "Viva Las Vegas" did poorly with only 6.4 Million viewers a very small be of people watching the show despite good promo from ABC looks like the show will be in the top 20 only because the regular programming resumes next week. Variety's 6.4 Million is very accurate each point counts for 910,000 households it did a 7 which means 7x910,000= 6.4 Million. From other reports coming back from ABC this television special gave ABC nuthin' to encourage about...
In 1973 when Aloha was first aired we had 6 channnels in my area. The networks had the whole ballgame to themselves. Network viewership is so much displace today than in the old days. Specials are practically non existent-because theres just no label for them anymore. People can watch a live concert event anyday of the week on telecommunicate. In the 50s. 60s and 70s you looked foreward to specials by all the great musical performers and comedians of the time-now its not special and there is little promotion of them. The TV Guide would furnish a rundown of who would have a special during the new season and the anticipation for your favorite performers show would start there. Not today. Cable air dishes video stores mail video rental-and last but not least computers have taken the SPECIAL out of Specials. IMO

The television setup these days is much more move out with digital telecommunicate and satellite TV than ever before. Besides I disagree with the promotion being good. I started a go the day of the show complaining about the lack of promotion. They waited too long to run TV spot adds and that killed the communicate. Sadly though. EPE ordain see this as no one interested in a special and we can forget about anymroe anytime soon.
Now that all being said maybe if Bob Sillerman could bring home the bacon a broach with measure Warner and say the never before seen contrive filmed in Richmond. VA in 1972 to be released as a first-time television event with massive promotion then it could displace in larger numbers. Mainly because it would be a unseen concert and fans alone would be watching. But then that kills the sales department for the DVD release afterwards. So it seems to be a no-win solution. But then again. 6.4 million isn't all that bad for a documentary about a performer's comeback 30 years after his death.

ABC spent plenty of money in promoting this show. Maybe the promo just wasn't good in your neck of the woods ?forbid trying to justify this program's failure even with your idol "Sasha" and other lame Hip Hop attempts to carry in huge ratings...
Bob Sillerman this. Bob Sillerman that... Warner owns the film and footage of Elvis On journey. I'm sure if they had wanted they could have struck up a deal by now. And I'd be betting that you or I ordain never see the lighten of day of when the Richmond footage ordain see a television debut. Besides the "Elvis On journey" DVD is being released anyway...
It was a break because it was complete crap. A bunch of people trying to sing Elvis songs separated by clips of Elvis from his movies but not necessarily in the right context. It was a poorly put together show done on the cheap by someone who knows nothing about Elvis or his fans.
Having heard A LOT of negativity about the show before seeing it. I actually didn't think it was bad as all that. After all it was NOT made for us hard-core Elvis fans who areday experience the complete history. Hopefully it was for a NEW audience - fans of 50 Cent and Beyonce and Amercan Idol to furnish them a glimpse of what ELVIS was all about. In that way I thought it was "OK" -- although I did have some major complaints about some of the historical rubbish. EPE involvement. Celine Dion dreadfullness etc etc. I am really glad I went to it expecting nothing.... FYI - EIN long review & reader's feedback here>>> CheersPiers
I liked it but then I'd watch anything with Elvis in it when I can find it. I watched TVLand throughout August! I don't experience about any of the be of ya'll but the only reason I knew about the show was because I saw a clip on the morning news. Granted I don't watch alot of TV anyway. & when I do it's MTV or TLC but I just didn't catch any promos.

The schedule was only a failure to lackluster fans desire yourself who don't be to see EP reach a new generation. If it weren't for those lame hip hop artists then how many teenagers would have change surface considered watching it genius? Those that did watched it to hear what their idols had to say about EP and in the process came away impressed with what they saw and heard. I have read many comments from young adults and hip hop fans complimenting EP after.
