Over the years, we've had plenty of television shows about badly behaving children and attempts to make them better - take Brat Camp, or That'll Teach 'Em. It's not a surprise that we get series after series - after all, each generation moans about the behaviour of the 'youth of today' - but would Channel 4's latest attempt to solve naughtiness make a difference?
Well, one thing that Mr Drew's School for Boys has in its favour is, er, Mr Drew. The Educating Essex star is presumably putting a lot on the line by taking on the project, but the endless patience he showed off in his television debut is in full view here, too. In the face of trouble-makers, he's endlessly calm and disinterested, rising above the boys' attempts to bring him down like he's levitating.
It's not an easy task that Mr Drew has set himself -...

'Dance' wins Wed. ratings competition
Fox trotted to the nightly win as the competition began in earnest on So You Think You Can Dance. The dance contest series brought in an average of 8.5 million viewers and 3.4 rating/10 share in the adults 18-49 demographic from 8:30-10 p.m. against mostly repeat competition. The half-hour Dance preshow (5.9 million, 2.4/9) that ran at 8 p.m. also won its time slot. NBC was in basic cable territory with its 8-10 p.m. block of repeats of comedy The Office, which hovered around the 3.5 million viewer mark; the 10 p.m. repeat of Law & Order (6.8 million, 2.2/6) turned the lights on for the peacock. CBS also came alive at 10 p.m. with a repeat of CSI: NY (7.8 million, 2.6/7) leading out of a block of sitcom repeats and 9 p.m.'s Rock Star: INXS (5.6 million, 2.3/7). ABC's only real sign of life came at 9 p.m. with a fresh installment of Brat Camp (7.1 million, 2.4/7). Fox easily took the nightly bragging rights in total viewers (7.8 million) and adults 18-49 (3.2/10). CBS was its closest competitor in both measures (6.3 million, 2.2/7).

'Idol' top summer series in Canada
TORONTO -- As Canadian TV viewers snap back to reality this summer, Canadian Idol on Friday emerged as the top-rated show on Canadian TV this season, beating out U.S. series Dancing With Stars and Brat Camp, according to the Bureau of Broadcast Measurement. BBM, which collects ratings data on behalf of Canadian broadcasters, found Canadian Idol drew an average audience of 2 million viewers for the period between June 6 and July 31, ahead of ABC's Dancing With Stars, which pulled in an average 1.48 million viewers while airing on the CTV network here. This marks the third consecutive summer in which Canadian Idol, based on the Pop Idol format acquired from FremantleMedia, edged past the U.S. series that dominate primetime schedules here to become the top-rated show of the summer season.

'Brat' packs punch in slow week
Brats and baseball players carried the Nielsen freight during a mostly moribund week in primetime for the seven-day frame ending July 17. ABC had some traction Wednesday with the two-hour debut of unscripted series Brat Camp, which was one of only a handful of programs to deliver more than 10 million viewers amid summer-light viewing levels last week. From 8-10 p.m., Brat Camp brought in 10.4 million campers and a 3.9 rating/12 share in the adults 18-49 demographic. It was slower going for CBS with the Monday debut of Rock Star: INXS (5.5 million, 2.4/7), which is slated to air Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays through Oct. 5. Rock Star, centering on a competition among aspiring rockers to become the new lead singer of 1980s hitmakers INXS, was topped in its debut by Fox's culinary reality series Hell's Kitchen (6.7 million, 3.2/9).
