"The Green Grass of Home" Earns 37 Points in Ratings TVB series, "The Green Grass of Home" 《緣來自有機》, received ideal ratings since its broadcast. Last week's average ratings was 32 points, peaking at 37 points, even beating "On the First Beat," which was a big-budgeted series. "On the First Beat" also received average ratings of 32 points, but peaked at only 33 points. "The Green Grass of Home" focuses on environmental concerns and organic food. The cast is quite weak, featuring only Sunny Chan, Christine Ng, Yuen Wah, and Law Lok Lam. When the show was first broadcast, people did not expect high ratings. However, the series caught on to the recent trend in environmental consciousness and was well received by the audience. When "The Academy" was first released, it was extremely popular and revived the career of Michael Miu Kiu Wai. Thus, TVB decided to film the sequel, "On the First Beat." However despite boasting a strong cast with Ron Ng, Sammuel Chan, Chin Ka Lok, Joey Yung, Michael Tao, Sonija Kwok, Kate Tsui etc, the series was not popular with the audience. Many people speculated that earlier rumors of Michael and Sonija would boost the series' ratings, but it had the opposite effect. At the same time, many viewers also criticized Kate Tsui's exaggerated acting. Cast members, Sunny Chan Kam Hung, Suki Chui Suk Man, Hong Wah, Leanne Li etc. appeared at a promotional event for "The Green Grass of Home." Producer Tsui Yu On paired up with Hong Wah to make tasty treats. A bottle of champagne was opened to celebrate the ideal ratings. Sunny hopes that the ending episode will achieve even higher ratings. Will Sunny treat the cast and crew to a celebratory dinner? "It depends on Christine Ng's decision, since we are a pair in the series. However after the broadcast of the series, the cast and crew will likely have dinner together." Sunny was surprised by the series' high ratings. "I was surprised since the characters in the series do not have deep conflicts. The plot is not controversial either. The series reflects normal, healthy lifestyles and is similiar to a promotional clip for the government." Is Sunny as environmentally conscious in real life as his character? "I care even more about the environment! I prefer to walk and not drive my car and eat more vegetables over meat. I don't buy a lot of things when I go out, even cautioning friends not to buy gifts for me. If the presents are not useful, it is very wasteful."
Actually I like this movie more than "On the first Beat". Those pairing of lover in "On the first beat" is so weird and doesn't have spark. That movie looks interesting but is lagging through. I only watch it till #20 then switch to watch "The green grass of home". This movie is more funny and meaningful
^lol me too.....The Green Grass Of Home is better, although i like most of the cast in On the First Beat better...but w/e
glad to see this series getting a pretty high rating!! i personally think this series is much better than "OTFB". some scenes are really funny! hope the ending episode will get even higher ratings!!!
It's so great and funny to watch. It's pretty original as far as i can tell and doesn't drag so it makes sense that it has such good ratings although it is quite a surprise. Some ppl think OTFB tries too hard lol......
