TV Feeds My Family: Numbers Not There for MVP

TV Feeds My Family: Numbers Not There for MVP:
"Thursday, February 28, 2008


No amount of monkey business seems to be able to save MVP. The steamy CBC drama scored 258,000 viewers Tuesday night, down 20,000 from the week before. This the same night CBC 8 p.m. lead-in The Rick Mercer Report soared to 1,025,000.

Across the ice, the last half of MVP faced off against another Canadian production--the season premiere of CTV's Robson Arms. Despite the most erratic scheduling in television (comet sightings are more predictable), Robson Arms attracted 686,000 viewers in the estimated overnight ratings.

Now, following American Idol (2,326,000) didn't hurt Robson's return. MVP should be so lucky. But even Big Brother on Global managed to scare up 766,000 viewers opposite MVP and Idol. The rookie CBC series, which premiered last month on Friday nights before being moved, is the low point on an otherwise strong Tuesday night for the public network.

Other Tuesday numbers: Global's The Guard slipped to 431,000 viewers at 10 p.m. opposite CTV's Law & Order (1,045,000) and the CBC National News (749,000). CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes, which has three new episodes left this season, clocked in at 639,000.

From Global:
THE GUARD SEASON FINALE
Tuesday, March 4 at 10pm ET/PT
“THE BEACON”
When a retired lighthouse keeper with Alzheimer’s goes missing, it stirs up Carly’s guilt for abandoning her father. Ursula finds Tina in a compromising position in Miro’s hotel room and gives Miro the boot, landing him in Laura’s guest house. Carly finds Wendell camping out, about to revert back to drugs."

The show will start filming again in either March or April, depending on the weather. The rest of the shows will be shown starting in September, last I read somewhere. LOL! I hadn't been posting upcoming episodes, but since this is the season finale, I thought I would.

The Rainbow Tribe update

Thanks to my friend, NancyE, I've found that the release date on IMBD was wrong. It is NOT being released today. The production company is still looking into distributing. Hopefully we will hear something soon.

The Rainbow Tribe

According to the IMBD website, this will be released tomorrow. By the pictures on the page, I'd speculate that it is being released as a DVD. Thanks to IMBD for the photos, they are small but can still see David James Elliott.

MVP DOA; Viewers Went With Women

Ever notice how Canadian TV overnights take several overnights? Should they call them 'Over a couple of nights?' Monday's BBM/NMR estimates show The Border drew 548,000, up a bit from last week. The Week The Women Went went way up, to 929,000. Degrassi: 426,000. Corner Gas: 1,286,000.

Tuesday, MVP continues to skate into the boards for CBC, with just 278,000 tuning in. The Guard managed 504,000 on Global. CBC's back-to-back comedies Rick Mercer and This Hour Has 22 Minutes clocked 856,000 and 748,000 respectively. Tuesdays big draw, of course, was CTV's simulcast of American Idol, with 2,193,000 viewers--huge but not as crazy huge as in season's past.


Before you ask, the show I keep forgetting--Heartland--drew 509,000 CBC viewers Sunday.

Update on 'Secrets of a Sex Addict'

Thanks to my niece who wrote to Lifetime, we found out that the movie has been rescheduled for April 19th. Although I was looking forward to seeing David James Elliott next weekend, at least I don't have to wait too long!

Also on that note, had a Google alert on a blog with a very interesting article on Sue Silverman's book and the movie. Here is the link:

Delay of 'Secrets of a Sex Addict'

I was on Sue Silverman's website to read the excerpt from her book again and saw the news that the movie has been delayed. I'm not sure why at this time though.



So I checked the message board for fordjefans and saw that yes, the movie has been delayed for unknown reasons. Bummer. I was really looking forward to seeing DJE in something new.



Once I find out anything new about a date, I'll post it then.



Maybe a collage would cheer us all up!
