You could also point out that it was a ratings winner when it was shown in Europe. I don't have the figures, but it was one of the top rated shows on the Discovery Channel when it was shown here. I think it broke some sort of record for its time slot or something. It certainly has the ratings numbers to back up its potential audience with advertisers and that is what counts with YTV execs.
