  2. TAYG is brilliance, Micallef is the most underrated comic genius of our time, every week the snippets are fresh and random.
    I think wild Boys will only attract a certain genre of viewers and expect more to drop.
    I was hoping the Morcombes would have rated higher, they are relevant in every state with a story to inspire everyone, parent or not.

  3. Seven need Wild Boys to hold it’s numbers next week. As expected it dropped from last week but another similar drop will push it closer to the dreaded below a million for a big budget blockbuster. A hold is needed and anything more than a 5% drop will be worrying

  4. Just watched that ep of Underbelly and I have to say it was the most pedestrian of all the episodes so far. Next week’s looks terrific though.

    It’s a shame more people still aren’t watching The Renovators. Last night was very impressive as there was heaps of design and actual renovating. Even people in QLD didn’t tune in that much. TAYG was brilliant as usual
