Paula Abdul's new reality TV show has scored poorly in the ratings, with only 607,000 viewers for its first show.

The panel judge from American Idol had hoped to become the latest reality TV star sensation but viewing figures for the Bravo show have bombed, say reports.

The show - Hey Paula - received about half the number of viewers that the recent hit reality series Being Bobby Brown gained.

Hey Paula premiered last Thursday but barely made a mark on the ratings scale, despite having two back-to-back episodes.
