MVP, The Border sinking in ratings

2 Comments

From Bill Brioux at TV Feeds My Family:

  • MVP Needs Performance Enhancement
    “CBC’s sexy new hockey wives drama is simply not scoring with viewers. MVP’s second Tuesday outing netted just 221,000 viewers, down from last Tuesday and down from the sorry numbers in its original Friday night timeslot. … The numbers are also starting to tilt the wrong way on Monday nights for another new CBC drama, The Border, down to 494,000 this week, despite an incredibly timely episode about illegal organ harvesting. … The new CBC reality show The Week The Women Went drew 687,000 the same night, remarkable when you consider it has now officially become THE DULLEST TV SHOW EVER MADE. … Global’s The Guard held steady at 538,000 Tuesday.” Read more.

In the news: The Border praised as ‘best ever’

Dave White of the Western Star really likes words that start with “c”:

  • Local newspaper provides a warm blanket in cold, unsure times
    “In The Border, right-wing collaborators and left-leaning security officials stir an eclectic mix of the proven and the probable in what is likely the best made-for-television Canadian drama series ever. Its plausible portrayals cause viewers to think outside box and across political boundaries, lending levels of credence to opportunities for collusion and chicanery channeled through corporate and civil controls common in certain circles.” Read more.

American-Canadian differences in policy are personified in the relationship between American agent Bianca LaGarda (Sofia Milos) and her Canadian counterpart Major Mike Kessler (James McGowan).
