Big Bang Deserves to do better.It’s the people who are so put off Home and Away ever since the arrival of the River Thugs back in 2009 that have made the switch to 9’s US Sitcoms and when it was at 7pm The Project.
@ Madon, yes I agree. Hilarious, I cringe when I think what could happen next…
Good wife ratings went up that’s awesome…
Pity Red Dwarf is getting low figures, it is actually quite good and seems to have got its mojo back, guess the Back Earth episodes have put people off taking a look.
Personally I don’t think the current ratings periods and system works very well. Are they saying one day/week people suddenly stop watching TV?
A Moody Christmas was great again. Laugh out loud funny.It is a format that could hold up on a commercial station I reckon. It would have a much bigger audience.
Pretty good retention for 9.
Only lost 32,000 viewers from 7-9.30 across 3 shows.
A bit of a lift for Good Wife. But I still do not understand how Gypsy Weddings is doing better at the same time!
It is non-ratings period and there’s nothing on worth watching at the moment.
It is ratings period.
