Pilot Ratings: Which program made an impressive debut?

Pilot Ratings: Mara Clara, Willing-Willie, Down With Love, Little Star & Juanita Banana | Which program made an impressive debut?

Of the 5 new shows which aired their respective pilot episode last Monday (October 25), it was ABS-CBN's "Down With Love" which drew the most impressive ratings both in AGB Mega Manila and Kantar Media Nationwide ratings survey.

"Down With Love", the Taiwanese drama dubbed into Tagalog and stars Jerry Yan and Ella Chen, garnered 6.2% rating in Mega Manila for its first episode, 5:30pm last Monday, to rank as the 3rd highest daytime rating for the day.



And for its nationwide rating, it scored a 16% pilot rating to become the #1 top-rating daytime program.

GMA 7's Little Star and ABS-CBN's Juanita Banana also premiered early afternoon on Monday, but both garnered not so impressive ratings.

Meanwhile, on primetime, the 2010 remake of the 90's hit soap opera Mara Clara also had a successful pilot on Primetime Bida last Monday. It placed 2nd in Mega Manila and 3rd nationwide, ranking higher than its rival program.

TV5 and Willie Revillame on the other hand successfully stirred buzz for the controversial premiere of Willing Willie last Saturday (Oct. 23). It even topped on Twitter's Top Trending Topics but unfortunately, it failed to top the ratings chart as what they expected. It only ranked 7th in Mega Manila and 10th nationwide.

Much worse, it's first episode on a weekday primetime last October 25 failed to enter the Top 10. Better luck next time!
