Lets put this into perspective, There are approx. 35 million people living in Canada, and approx. 300 million in the United States.. That's about 10x the amount of people. Multiply our 37,000 viewers by 10 and the numbers start to look much better....

Not to mention Canadians are much less into reality programming than Americans..

100,000 to 200,000 for a first season show on episode 5 of 16 in a canadian/suburban market?

your thinking way too ambitiously.

want to do comparisons, here's city's shows for sunday which should be doing at least double of dussault and world series ratings for both nights

SATURDAY
Game Three of the World Series batted 473,000 on Sportsnet.

SUNDAY
Game Four of the World Series drew 673,000 on Sportsnet


SUNDAY
City did not get off to a good start with its first Extraordinary Canadians bio; it drew 43,000. The Quon Dynasty did 57,000 at 8. Beyond Survival made it to 66,000.

38K is superb for where we are. We've seen ratings of 50k+. In your post you say need to get away from hockey night in canada. that's where we just started airing 5 weeks ago.

look at the numbers do the dd and see the larger aspect.
