  1. I’m sad about the numbers for Mr & Mrs Murder. I really enjoyed this show. I loved the chemistry between Shaun and Kat and enjoyed a bit of a piss take on all the crime shows that have been stuffed down our throats. I’d love if ABC picked it up for a second season if Channel 10 doesn’t.

  2. Thank you so much David!! I’m really happy that Craig Ferguson is beating Conan, not that I don’t like Conan, it’s that Craig Ferguson is the Best!! And you really can’t compare it to David Letterman because his on the main channel, Ch 10! But if he was on the digital channel, Craig Ferguson will beat him as well. Go Ferguson!!

  3. Nice House Rules numbers for Perth? It was expected. Ok, so the first house is from Perth but remember this show got the usual 7Perth over hype.
    Through owning the daily newspaper, we get continuous cross promotion for 7 shows, lots of “puff stories” culminating in articles with positive ratings spin for 7.
    One suspects babies are born here with their eyes glued to 7. As my media lecturer once told our class in the 80’s, “7 Perth could show a test pattern in prime time and still win the time slot!” Nothing has changed.
