  1. Can someone please tell me the attraction to MAFS. This seems the worst of the current reality / observational shows, yet it is one of the highest rating. I just don’t get it.

  2. Very much prefer Million Dollar Minute over Hot Seat – Million Dollar Minute is a better quiz – Please keep it on the air 7 Network

  3. Moider has been murdered in the ratings. Another disasterous import. I remember ch7 spriuking this like mad during the tennis and I got so fed up of the number of times I heard Viola say “how to get away with murder”. Now look at it after just 11eps and in a graveyard slot with just 150k, looks like the ch7 programmers heeded her advice with this show…

    1. I don’t think the on-again off-again treatment and timeslot shifts have done it any favours. I only just realised it was on Monday nights, and I can’t be the only one. I thought my only job was to religiously check the TV guide every Tuesday!

  4. Elementary late on Monday seems a waste of new eps when Ten has so few on over and The Good Wife is on hiatus. Also means I’ll have a slot for The Witches of East End.

    How to… has had a spectacular plunge once they showed the actual murder and Seven took it for a few weeks.

  5. That would be the best $1,000 Nine has spent on Hot Seat. That is all the ‘winner’ walked away with. Elementary is floundering and I don’t think it will get many more viewers when it moves to Wednesdays from next week.
