As expected, Marimar registered the highest rating among all tv programs on Monday but not as impressive as the ratings of other pilot episodes of a number of GMA series in the past. Marimar registered a 36.6%, 10% higher than it's rival show Kapamilya Deal or No Deal which received 26.5%. It's also good enough to be the highest for the day but it's runner-up has only 0.6% difference and it's Richard Gutierrez' Lupin which registered a 36% rating. Angel Locsin's Darna is still holding the highest pilot rating ever, a remarkable 47.1% registered on April 11, 2005.

But of course, it’s not fair to compare Marian Rivera’s Marimar with Angel Locsin’s Darna. Marimar is Marian’s very first primetime series so for the sake of comparison, we should also use Angel’s very first primetime series which is Mulawin. And the pilot episode of Mulawin registered 33.0% last August 02, 2004.

So this i must say, Marimar fared really good last night but not impressive.
