The first four episodes of Korea’s tvN outdoor reality show, Three Meals a Day, season three (11x60 mins) topped all other cable TV shows in its prime-time Friday 10pm slot for four consecutive weeks (15, 22, 29 May 2015 and 5 June), with an average TV rating of 9.1% and a peak of 12.4% TVR, according to data from AGB Nielsen Korea provided by CJ E&M.
The highest-rated episode to date was episode five of season two, aired on 29 February this year, with an average TVR of 14.2% and a peak of 16.3% TVR.
