  2. Once The Bachelorette and Gogglebox have finished ch10 could close down until the BBL starts, it would save them a lot of dollar $$$

  3. It is a shame that a show like Bull isn’t rating. It’s a nice change from the constant reality / current affair shows. Bad decision putting it up against shows like The Block. Lack of promotion hasn’t helped it either.

  7. The issue for TEN last night, I think might have been, at least in the WIN area where I live, the fact, NCIS:NO wasn’t promoted as new (double episodes). Even the words new episode, where missing, as part of the watermark.

    Not only no promotion of the new eps, but S4 E1 featured singer Jimmy Buffett, in a guest role.

    The PR Dept at TEN could’ve also done more promotion with the “Bull” episode, as the topic was about Euthanasia, which is a current topic being debated in Australia.

  9. Note to CBS execs: your US dramas rarely rate in Australia and you should not rely on them in prime time. Not just talking about last nights flops but goes back years including The Good Wife, Blue Bloods, Madam Secretary etc
