And Escape to the Country was a repeat…take note 7TWO…we also do not mind repeats of Bargain Hunt….please put it back on!
I heard that story was done at the beginning of the year ? What took so long?
So a Fast-Tracked episode of Modern Family has finally out rated the repeat.
Though the repeat was the umpteenth repeat of the 3 year old pilot episode and it only beat it by 108k. Though it was still over 200k behind what the new episodes where rating they were shown without the repeat, and an extra week behind the US.
Last night I was happy to see Person of Interest back late at night. But there were two problems. I’m assuming particularly last week it wasn’t on possibly to avoid a Chuck clash. I approve of that kind of thinking if so. Unfortunately it did have a bit of a clash with Chuck this week. I’ll note I can’t watch both at once nor the interesting 2013 ads either if you do that.
But more annoyingly they skipped episodes. They were playing quite reliably near the end of the first season of Person of Interest. Then they skipped to episode 6 of the second season. The enjoyable element of the series is how the characters interactions and relationships change over time. I grant you it was a good episode that didn’t have major spoilers. But I hope next year the late night episodes will start at season 1 episode 21 and continue in order. No worries otherwise.
If you want to make it nearly every week and run out of episodes it could start again. There were episodes I missed. I’ll admit I’m even curious what you’ll do on Thursdays. That said I couldn’t commit to that day. So am prepared to wait for the late night episodes. Hopefully properly finishing the first season. I look forward to it.
I know this will sound harsh but i found it pretty painful to watch. The interview was rubbish and learnt nothing from this. Poor quentin though his health is very bad :(
However, shame on Ch7 for putting this forward and expecting us to see this as a real story.
I found it a real odd interview that didn’t really tell you much of anything. I found the snippets of the original interview much more fascinating.
Quentin has a great dry sense of humour
I found the Willesee interview extremely awkward and painful to watch. Quentin has a big personality on twitter – it just didn’t translate last night.
And as 7 starts slotting repeats of Bones at 8.30
it would seem that Homeland will rise to #1 in that timeslot within the next week or two.
Excellent.
