A faithful snack reader (well-connected in tvland) was nice enough to share the ratings for the Bourdain-athon last Monday night. How did the Foxified and Tony verité versions fare?
Apparently the most valuable viewers (ie, those most likely to buy advertisers' products) are adults aged 18-49. On Monday night there were 3.7 million of them sitting in front of the tube, myself included. 1.7% watched Kitchen Confidential, down from last week's premiere, which hit a solid 2.0%. The top show? CSI: Miami with a 5.7%, revealing America's taste for crime over cuisine.
Over on the Travel Channel, No Reservations pulled in just about 225,000 armchair travelers. Though expectations are different for cable versus network, the show is somewhere around 40th place for the channel.
The overall rating champion at this point is the paperback version of Tony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential -- it's currently ranked #390 on Amazon.com.
Tonight we’ll see if the third week’s the charm.
