Very unoriginal after The Ashes!
@Craig – you’re not alone, I didn’t think much of TWL either. It wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t that good either. If only the audience was laughing as much as the one that I heard bursting out of my speakers, I might have too.
@Maxxdude
I meant the Victory produced a,much more competitive match than the Allstars.
I didn’t know TWL was on, I’ve only been watching The Americans and Nurse Jackie on Network Ten and skip ads.
@Pertinax Liverpool were playing Melbourne Victory not an All Stars team. Di you actually watch it?
Seven still only just won the night even with Mate;s higher share so I reckon Nine is still the night’s winner.
This Week Live did very poorly. Didn’t watch it & don;t intend too after the worst promos ever. Can’t see it lasting unless Ten needs local content.
Watch Simon Reeve on SBS then Offspring on my PVR, I must be the only one who didn’t like This Week Live, maybe I’ll give it more of a go next week.
Watched Offspring and This Week Live last night and loved them both.
Great start to S3 of The Killing last night. That’s Wed 9:30 locked in for a while.
Will give This Week Live a look on catch-up. Odd that Ten scheduled it for the same time as Wednesday Night Fever given the likely similar demo.
The sound of 95,000 people singing “You’ll never Walk Alone” was spine-tingling. A great and historic moment in world sport.
The ratings for TWL are expected. I don’t thing anyone knew it was on and since promos only were on TEN which not many people watch.
Hope good word of mouth might give it a bit of buzz.
What about the huge drop in numbers for Arrow.
Putting an extra episode on at the very last minute does not help – they also did it with The Bible the night before.
SBS will take Fox’s feed for the A League on Friday nights. Just like they did for the netball.
I have to praise Channel 7 as I was really sceptical at first of commercial channels covering football (soccer). The pre game show, the build up, commentary, on screen graphics, the whole package they presented for both the Man Utd and Liverpool games was top class. I hope SBS were looking at this when they start showing Friday A-League games from this October.
So 7 *does* know what HD is, it all turned to crap with any fast moving shots though
Top class production on Liverpool match last night! Should have screened it on 7 main!
Was a good game of soccer. In soccer a team will always beat allstars. Though there is something a bit off-putting with 94,000 home fans backing Liverpool at The G. Hard to see the A-League benefiting a great deal from the exercise.
After The Block numbers were soft all round. Over month of high profile sporting events has made life tough for regular programming.
@J Bar, Just because you prefer one show over another doesn’t make it far superior.
I didn’t know it was on either.
TWL on any other network with that number would mean instant axing. It is weird to put it against WNL (which I watch) since I imagine they are very similar.
This Week Live was brilliant last night. Hopefully word of mouth will see its numbers grow over the coming weeks…
Oh man, i’m hoping This Week Live can pick up and find a bigger audience. Really fun show, and surprisingly funny.
I hope people get on board with “This Week Live”. It’s far superior to higher rating “Wednesday Night Fever”. Part of the problem for Ten is letting people know that it’s on, since they are simply not watching Ten much these days. I found nobody at work watched it and most of them didn’t even know what it even was.
