Seven’s campaign for Cougar Town through the Australian Open has paid off with a big debut of 1.34m viewers. It was the #1 show of the night, defeating Law and Order: SVU 1.01m and Adults Only 20 to 1 on 693,000.

The Cougar word is certainly all the buzz at the moment, even being the subject of recent stories on A Current Affair and The 7PM Project.

Seven won the night despite a lukewarm debut for The White Room on 812,000 which had nowhere near as much marketing hype. But it was a soft hour all round with The Biggest Loser winning on 882,000 while Getaway was  underperforming on 830,000. Even The 7:30 Report was close with 714,000.

Also struggling for the night were  The 7PM Project on 621,000 and Neighbours managing just 515,000.

But GO’s Big Bang Theory was a star performer on 255,000. The channel pulled a 4.1% share for the evening.

How I Met Your Mother did well at 9pm with 1.04m viewers.

Hot Seat‘s 579,000 beat Deal or No Deal‘s 567,000 winning Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

  1. i don’t think we will ever see shows in Aus with 2.3, 2.5, 2.8 million viewers per episode of a TV show, like Friends and ER did around 1996-2002, because we can’t understand why shows don’t air all 22 episodes a season in a row if we fast track it from the states, and if we do air all 22 episodes in a row in Feb, there are already people who have seen the episode, by the internet or whatever…
