It was
an atypical Saturday with a lot of emotion on Argentine television
.
This is how the return of an iconic figure like Mirtha Legrand was experienced, with her 94 years, and after almost a year and a half without leading her program due to the pandemic.
It remained to be known
if the audience was going to accompany this one-time replacement of Chiqui
to her granddaughter, Juana Viale - absent due to a trip abroad and her subsequent mandatory quarantine - in a complicated year for
La noche de Mirtha
(El Trece) in in terms of rating, with issues that in recent weeks did not reach 7 points.
So, it was clear that
it was not going to be another day of hand-to-hand competition between the legendary cycle -and its original
host-
and PH: Podemos Hablar
(Telefe), Andy Kusnetzoff's program.
Mirtha Legrand returned to TV and it was experienced as an emotional comeback.
A promising start
Minutes before this special broadcast began - it
was recorded to take care of his health and that of his guests
- and Mirtha appeared, the cycle already exceeded 10 points and was leading the night, well above its usual numbers.
"Thank you very much, what emotion. Do not make me cry, I do not want to cry. They asked me so much
'Come back, go back to television'.
Here I am. With a little nervous because I have not done it for a year and a half. I have to remember everything ”, the diva was sincere as soon as she set foot in the studio.
"It was so bad that I called a neurologist. Do you know what he told me? Let him work. It is the best therapy," she
revealed, already sitting in her emblematic chair in front of the desk, and
exceeding 11 points
.
Mirtha Legrand entered the new studio escorted by two assistants.
On the other side,
Pasapalabra, famous edition
(Telefe) was second in the strip with 10.4.
Minutes later, although
the final rosco between Carla Czudnowsky and Ronnie Arias rose to 10.6
, Mirtha continued to climb and managed to stretch the lead with 11.6.
Then came
the video call with Juanita Viale from the hotel where she is isolated after her return from France
.
And the rating continued to climb to touch and exceed 13 points,
the highest of El Trece in the whole week
.
One minute by minute hot
The guests of the night had not yet sat down:
Carolina “Pampita” Ardohain, Jonatan Viale, Baby Etchecopar and the Buenos Aires Minister of Health, Fernán Quirós
.
At that point, Andy Kusnetzoff was doing the same in
PH
and
took advantage of the fact that on the other side they were on hiatus to be the most viewed at that time with 12.2.
Fernán Quirós, Baby Etchecopar, Pampita and Jonathan Viale, Mirtha's guests.
The former
CQC
and his production kept the strategy of every week: five famous guests ready to talk about everything.
This time it was the turn of
L-Gante -the man of the moment-, Sabrina Garciarena, Andrea Pietra, Claudio Rigoli and Agustina Casanova
.
With Mirtha already at the head of the table and distributing the game, El Trece and Telefe shared the leadership of the night.
At around 10:45 p.m., with Pampita talking about how her reality on Paramount + will be,
Chiqui once again exceeded 13 points (against 12 for PH)
.
Andy's confessional to confront Mirtha.
But fifteen minutes later, while Agustina Casanova recalled her meeting with Enrique Iglesias,
We can talk
came forward with 12.2 (against 11.2).
That's how
even the minute by minute of Legrand's return was
.
Final averages
In a night of
high ignition for the air television
in general terms, both cycles alternated the leadership of the night.
But this Sunday at noon the numbers that Ibope shared were known.
The night of Mirtha
(at 9:30
p.m.
, by El Trece)
was for the first time in the year the most watched of the day with an average of 11.6
and a peak of 13.3.
Taking into account the 5.8 average of last week, the cycle doubled its numbers.
Although he won the strip, it was almost a technical draw with
PH
, since Andy Kusnetzoff's cycle was second only by three tenths, with an average of 11.3 and a maximum of 12.8.
Pasapalabra was third
among the most viewed with 8.3.
Although it was initially raised as a one-time replacement, with Viale taking over the cycle again once his quarantine ends,
the numbers seem to back Legrand
.
We will see what the production of the show decides from here on.
