Border Boost

Ratings for the new CBC drama The Border went up in Week Three--a very good sign for the action hour. Is adding easy on the eyes Sofia Milos to this show a factor? I'm guessing yes.
An estimated 659,000 Canadians tuned in last night at 9 p.m., up 60,000 from the week before. Over at CTV, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles slipped under the million mark to 960,000. Strike challenged Global vamped with that lame-ass Starsky & Hutch movie, starring Ben Stiller, which somehow drew 675,000 viewers.

CBC scored an even bigger number at 8 p.m. with the bizarre new reality series The Week The Women Went. An estimated 770,000 tuned in according to the overnights. Women viewers probably loved it--Canadian men have never looked dumber.

The highest rated show of the night? CTV's dependable Corner Gas, which drew 1,230,000 viewers.

Starsky & Hutch is a work of art. Not as good as Zoolander but OK. Stiller may be the best actor since Alvey Moore.

I stand corrected. The mime scene when he shoots the pony in the garage is almost right up there with Strangers With Candy.
