  1. Family Feud has been just been off simulcast for a while. Since the middle of Master Chef, Feud was rating 415,000 and now its rating poorly. What’s the reason behind the sudden drop?

  5. Hahaha, I’ve been put off by it because I haven’t enjoyed Anderson since the early years of The Glass House, Sampson puts me off with his wacky shirts, but Howcroft I don’t mind. He was good in Recipe to Riches on TEN. But with all the hype generated about this show, I put in on the IQ3 last night to record, and will catch up on it later.

    1. Try the extended version of Gruen on Thursdays on ABC2 (assuming they have it this year) It runs about 40 mins and feels much less like every line uttered is trying to set Will up for his next gag.
