TV Ratings (December 17 - December 23 2007)

The shows leading up to the 2007 holiday television season predominate throughout the top ten positions in the chart. CBC had consistent results with most Christmas specials. The half-hour film Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (CBC, Monday 12/17 8pm) was the most watched special with 1.65 million viewers. Frosty, the Snowman (CBC, Monday 12/17 8:30pm) and... ahem... Mr. Bean Christmas (CBC, Monday 12/17 9pm) came in behind with 1.49 and 1.44 million viewers respectively. All of them made for a very uncommon strong Monday evening lineup for the public broadcaster.
Here's the top-ten Canadian television programs chart.
