Drama Prime Time Report – February 21st~24th

Ouch!

Ouch!

It looks likes “Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta” will be able to stay up there at 12% for a little longer and won’t have to bear the title of becoming the worst Monday drama, unless they completely screw up in the second half of the show. Fuji TV also aired the omnibus drama “Propose Kyodai” …

The ratings for the ordinary programs on Friday looked rather bad compared to all the TV specials last week, but that was to be expected. “LADY” was able to recover a bit by 0.8%, while “Bartender” continues to shine in its 11 PM slot, especially thanks to a very weak “OO na Hanashi” episode this …

Wake up! No time for love, the ratings are here!!

The recent progress of the story, “Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta” on Monday must have hooked a few more viewers than normal as the ratings continued to improve a little. The fifth episode achieved an average of 12.1% and therefore performed the best for the season …

It was rather difficult to find the ratings of all the shows for the weekend, but at least the drama ratings should be complete.

Thursday was a holiday, but shows aired as usual due to Friday being a normal workday (unless you took a leave in order to gain a long …

"A sweet prime time report for you!"

It’s not necessarily a reason for celebration, but it was the first Monday that “Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta” didn’t drop in ratings. Of course, a recover of 0.5% is nothing significant, but at least it’s hanging in there above the important mark of 10% for another episode. Prior …

"WAH! The ratings are out!!"

Nakai Masahiro became the savior of “LADY” on Friday, at least for this week. Thanks to the amazing lead-in in form of a special of his variety show “Nakai Masahiro no KinSMA” that completely owned all the other channels from 8pm to 10pm, Kitagawa Keiko’s drama was able to recover from the alarming downfall of …

More tabloids and Internet communities continue to speculate whether Fuji TV is going to keep their Monday drama slot or not, because “Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta” simply doesn’t want to stop falling in the ratings.  As longtime drama fans should know, there has been a huge decrease …

More and more, it looks like that “LADY” is becoming a problem for TBS on Friday. Last week I was still optimistic, guessing that it would pick up pace again after the Asian Cup left as its direct competitor, but it actually went down even further. Sure, “Ijiwaru Basan” is a popular series, and “DEATH NOTE” …

Not a lot of viewers turned into last week’s premiere of Fuji TV’s Monday drama “Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta“. This week it lost some viewers again, but at least it only was a minimal decrease in ratings. This could mean that almost everyone who saw the first episode got …

It took longer than expected, but here are the ratings for the 2nd half of the previous week.

On Friday, in the first episode of “Akutou“, Takahashi Katsunori was shining as a reckless detective who doesn’t even hesitate to violate the law in order to solve a case. “LADY“, on the other hand, simply won’t …

In the third week of January, Fuji TV has finally started airing their Monday drama with the long title, “Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta“, starring Toda Erika, Miura Haruma, and Takei Emi, even though the latter isn’t officially part of the starring cast. The first episode …

The 3 remaining days of the past week started off with an intense nose dive of Kitagawa Keiko’s “LADY“. It was expected to lose some viewers, but TBS definitely didn’t expect it to fall below 10% right after the first episode. Hopefully, it will be able to recover soon, even though it’s still missing an …

We’ve got ourselves a total of 8 new dramas during the first 4 days of this season’s second week! That should be reason enough to celebrate like Karina in the picture above.

Saito Takumi and Higa Manami kicked things off on Monday with the TV Tokyo drama “Saijo no Meii” and it had a decent start, …

The ratings for last week were a bit delayed and was released earlier today due to the holidays and New Year’s weekend, coincidentally there isn’t much to say in terms of dramas because of the holidays.

In this report I’ve included the ratings of a couple of the TV specials you’ve …
