"HSM": A dose of reality
Maybe this "High School Musical" bandwagon is slowing to a crawl - or maybe it's not the same without Troy and Gabriella singing and swooning.

Overnight ratings for Sunday's debut of "High School Musical: Get in the Picture," an ABC reality show based on the popular Disney movie franchise (and shot at Utah's Murray High School), drew just 4 million viewers, according to Neilsen estimates.

It came in third in its time slot, behind CBS's "Big Brother" and a rerun of NBC's "America's Got Talent." And it drew fewer viewers than the show before it - a rerun of "America's Funniest Home Videos."

"High School Musical: Get in the Picture" did score well with viewers in the 6-to-11 age range. If the show sticks around, expect more commercials for sugary breakfast cereals and bad computer-animated cartoons.
