'Rosalinda' pilot is a "ratings flop"

Advertisements
The one-hour pilot episode of Rosalinda on GMA Network last Monday, July 6, was a "ratings flop".

The pilot, which was so boring with mostly senior supporting (uninteresting) actors were shown (Glydel Mercado, Ariel Rivera, Carlos Morales and Sheryl Cruz), scooped a rating of less than 30% in both Mega Manila and Nationwide.

According to the figures released by AGB Nielsen Media Research for July 6, Rosalinda registered only a 26.3% rating in Mega Manila, despite having occupied a one-hour timeslot and pitted against two rival shows on ABS-CBN Channel 2, Only You and Tayong Dalawa, which were all winners in the ratings game.

36. All My Life 23.6% June 29, 2009

As you can see, Darna with Angel Locsin in the title role holds the highest pilot rating by a Kapuso primetime series in the past 5 years.

And for 2009 alone, GMA had four lowest-rating pilots ever: Rosalinda (32nd), All About Eve (33rd), Adik Sa 'Yo (35th) and All My Life (36th).

On a brighter side, the 26.3% ratings made by Rosalinda last Monday is still good considering that it is the first ever show of Carla Abellana, who plays Rosalinda.

This August, a newer version of Darna will premiere on TV. Will it fly higher than the 1st Darna? or will it at least bring back GMA 7's winning streak on primetime? We should look forward to it.
