"  Sorry, everybody: Keeping Up With The Kardashians: A Space Odyssey is teetering on the brink of cancellation due to Sunday&amp;#039;s all-time low viewership of 1.7 million, according to Hollywood Life. This might sound like a lot, but not when contrasted with the 4.1 million who tuned in to watch Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries&amp;#039; ill-fated televised wedding. (Which, incidentally, lasted longer than their actual marriage.)  It can also be compared with the 10 million who tuned into the Breaking Bad finale. Might I suggest adding Gus Fring as Kris Jenner&amp;#039;s terrifying landlord? The drop is being attributed to Lamar Odom&amp;#039;s drug problems and Kim&amp;#039;s lack of airtime. Says a source, &amp;quot;This is looking really bad for the Kardashians and their show.&amp;quot; [Update]  A rep from E! sent us an email with some clarification: When this Keeping Up with the Kardashians episode aired on September 29, quarter hour ratings increased +14% among Total Viewers between the first and last fifteen minutes of the telecast, rising to nearly 2.0MM by the end. That wouldn&amp;#039;t have been the case if the show was in decline.  Keeping Up with the Kardashians remains a destination program. The numbers reported overlook the show&amp;#039;s popularity on DVRs. Kardashians more than doubles its live Total Viewer numbers through seven days of playback (+110%). This boosts the show to around 3.7MM Total Viewers this season, which is basically even with its equivalent season seven period (3.8MM).   Want more from Anna? Follow her on Twitter.
