The Top Ten TV shows in Canada: Numbers 1 - 5 [incl. deep analysis]

For your viewing pleasure here are half of the Top 10 television programs in Canada for the week of Feb. 18 - 24, with viewer numbers and my personal commentary at no extra charge.

1 "Academy Awards" (CTV, Sunday) - 4,424,000

Since there are only 33,390,141 of us and less than 12 per cent of mature adults can stay up past 11 o’clock without nodding off I’d say we definitely love movies and stars and carpets and fashions and long, long TV shows about all those things.


2 "Academy Awards Pre-Show" (CTV, Sunday) - 2,778,000

We even love the TV show that comes on an hour before the TV show about movies and stars and carpets and fashions. Though it’s not as interesting the numbers are still pretty high because it’s on earlier and we’re not nodding off yet.

3 "American Idol" (CTV, Wednesday) - 2,512,000

Canadians love to watch the little guy go for the glory or reach for the stars, though we all know there’s a better chance he’ll embarrass himself miserably in front of, in this particular case, over two and a half million others.

4 "American Idol" (CTV, Tuesday) - 2,236,000

A lot of us also want to do the same thing one night earlier.

5 "Survivor: Micronesia" (Global, Thursday) - 1,978,000

This show was popular because a lot of Canadians like medical shows. The title sounded like someone lived through a tiny case of amnesia. I'm pretty sure Macronesia would have fared better.

I'd like to lodge a complaint. I went to Four Mugs and a Crock to read about TV Shows 6-10 but only found a recipe for scones.
What gives?
