Not long ago, the actor Charlie Sheen reportedly encouraged TV viewers to boycott the new reality show featuring his ex-wife Denise Richards, and their two young daughters.

To judge by the show's opening numbers, Mr. Sheen's boycott may have backfired.

Last night, on Memorial Day, E! premiered the show, which is called Denise Richards: It's Complicated, along with a new reality show starring Dina Lohan, mother of actor Lindsay.

According to Broadcasting & Cable, the two shows raced out the gate, racking up big numbers.

From the article:

The premieres of reality shows starring actress Denise Richards and Dina Lohan delivered strong ratings for E! Entertainment Television on Memorial Day. The premiere of Denise Richards: It’s Complicated drew a 1.57 household rating in 56 metered markets, according to E!, delivering a 15% increase in its time period at 10 p.m. over last year and doubling its lead-in audience.
