I’m enjoying State of Affairs & was really frustrated when 7 took so long to show it. I thought I read it had been renewed for a 2nd season. And where’s the Blacklist? They usually fast track it & it came back weeks ago in the US.
As someone who travels to the States a lot for work, I get angry every time I see Koch and all his financial experts blather on about the wonder of the falling Australian dollar. To have them do it this week while the show was in Hawaii encouraging people to tour there was both ironic , stupid and just plain bad programme directing.
Well you don’t get a job in commercial TV if your to bright particularly on 7
State of Affairs sheds over 1 million viewers… That’s insane. I know Drama’s aren’t rating as well as they used to, but surely that isn’t great.
7 don’t help themselves by waiting too long to air a show and then burning it off in double episodes. You reap what you sow.
Only a matter of time before State of Affairs is axed in the US.
Loving Gourmet Farmer Afloat…
Interesting that the Hawaii special isn’t firing as maybe as much as Sunrise might have expected…perhaps viewers know that the cost of going there is about 25 per cent higher than it was last year, thanks to the falling dollar. At least in Australia a dollar is worth a dollar, not three-quarters of one…Suddenly these OS broadcasts might not be so wise, I’m sure this one cost the sponsors a fortune to stage.
