Just another Sunday
Are we there yet? Sunday night was fairly unremarkable with some shows having to settle for 1m viewers, but SBS enjoying a little boost.

It was just another Sunday, and another week with 60 Minutes and Australian Idol having to to settle for a million viewers.
Seven’s factual double The Force and Border Security were again the winners on 1.43m and 1.34m on a fairly unremarkable night.
The final episode of Rescue: Special Ops ended on 1.05m with a voice-over promising its return in 2010 -they declined to indicate whether it would be lucky enough to have a new night too. Rove’s 60 guests in 60 minutes provided a bit of fun, finishing with 852,000.
Who Do You Think You Are? with its guest Maggie Beer had its best episode so far, a more respectable 477,000.
GO! was again the icing on Nine’s cake, with Wipeout rising to 310,000 and its 4.3% share helping Nine win the night from Seven.

Rescue:Special Ops will come back with another series next year – won’t they. Same time slot and everything.Can anybody confirm season 2 of Rescue and the return date.
Rescue:Special Ops stays where it is i say
Who Does Maggie Beer Think She Is was a great episode. Full respect to SBS for adapting an international format to be just as engaging and well put together as the original.
@ Frankie Thanks for that but it’s rating in Melbourne and tanking in Sydney so if Nine really re-commission (unbelievable) it’s because Melbourne is watching it despite being universally ignored by the critics.
@ ronnie no your not the only one, i missed last nite because i got sick of the cheesy plot lines and the love lives between all that worked at the rescue station and by that i mean between themselves, does it happen so much in real life i dont know
Things should get very interesting from next Sunday with 7two joining the fray – though its initial lineup is pretty underwhelming. But Seven’s shows could look quite high with the aggregation of 7two’s figures.
Rove was a complete waste of time, loads of build up to see something different but let down cheating is way through 60 guests.
I think Seven will win next Sunday as Nine has a three hour movie on – XIII Conspiracy. 7TWO won’t do as well as GO’s huge Sundays initially but should help Seven start getting network wins back.
Am I the only person in Melbourne who thinks RSO is soapy rubbish? Season finale and GIgi works on her wedding day? As you do. Doesn’t anyone at HQ read this stuff?
310k for Wipeout is a huge number, especially on a 2nd SD which only have 50% of the available audiance. Seven is now counting down the days till 7Two and help it’s bottom line.
I think Nine will win next Sunday with GO!, as 7TWO’s line up was pretty dreadful.
Wow, Rove was awful last night !
