And free popcorn as well.

Just saw this in my local paper. Unreal.

Having worked in the film industry for years...
let me tell you something, giving out free tickets to a "premiere" to anyone else other than the press, is never a good thing. The film and or star power should be the draw.

They are desperate to get butts in the seats.

her "star" is fading very fast.

3. It's a TV show, not a movie

6. I am aware of that...
(The term "film industry" is a catch all phrase for anything media oriented, accept for News)

It's still not a good sign.

given her supposed "star power", they shouldn't have be giving away free tickets.

This means there was a failure on several fronts, either: promotion, general marketing and, more than likely, a colossal misreading of her ability to draw a crowd.

4. I had to program TLC out of my remote
it was advertising her show twice in the same commercial and in every commercial. I got sick of it.
