Development

In July 2009, Kevin Burns revealed in an interview that he was in talks to create a show featuring Madison, with E! hoping to continue the success they had with Kendra in the summer of 2009 as it had set many records for the network, including being the highest rated premiere since 2002. Rather than ordering a full season of the show, E! initially aired a one-off special in December 2009 as a backdoor pilot.

In January 2010, E! announced that the ratings for the special lead to them ordering an eight-episode season that would premiere in the summer of 2010.

Ratings

The first season premiere was viewed by 1.879 million viewers beating multiple episodes of Kendra that had recently been broadcast. The following four episodes debuted to less viewers than the week previously, but remained almost consistent with the target 18-49 demographic. This downward trend was finally reversed by the sixth episode with 1.625 million viewers watching, a 4.37% increase from the previous week. Ratings continued to improve for the rest of the season, reaching an all-time high with 2.224 million viewers watching the season finale. The season averaged 1.746 million viewers.

The second season premiere was viewed by 2.006 million viewers, once again beating multiple episodes of Kendra that had recently been broadcast. The following week saw ratings at an all-time high with 2.417 million viewers. This was then followed by the third episode reaching an all-time low with a mere 1.077 million viewers. Ratings eventually stabilized for the remainder of the season. The season averaged 1.640 million viewers.
