The NTV drama series “Gokusen 3” premiered on Saturday, and viewership numbers released by Video Research Ltd. showed that it kicked off the season at 26.4% in the Kanto region. This is only slightly lower than the 26.5% start of “Gokusen 2,” which went on to average 27.8% over its entire run.
Meanwhile, the TBS series “ROOKIES,” which also deals with a teacher working with delinquent students but involves baseball as well, started out with only 12.2% ratings. The show premiered the same day as “Gokusen” but aired an hour earlier.
