Watched David Attenborough’s “India’s Wild Eden” on SBS for a bit, tried to look up how recent the series was out of curiosity, and found almost nothing about it on the Internet. It took me quite a while to discover that the actual name of the show is “Wild Karnataka”! For some reason SBS ran with a completely different name to the show’s actual name.
SBS do that all the time…change the name of shows…it has always confused me as to why?
I have often had to hunt for different shows…?
TEN have a problem if Kyle can’t beat the umteenth repeat of Vera from 2012.
Perhaps, as Gaz suggested, a Beauty and the Beast revival with some outspoken beauties is the way to go. There’s always “Kyle on Religion”.
Great numbers for Celebrity Name, I think that Pointless got more. 10 really have to address the problem with this game show.. My solution would be to axe it and start the Project earlier and steal a March on the shows that start at 7.30, could backfire though. I like the ABC news.
It’s not good enough.
Light hearted fun, enjoyable not to be taken seriously and I don’t like him, but very watchable. Better than Love Island in my opinion.
Just looked at the guide. Has Love Island been dumped from Friday night?

I missed that! Thanks
Oh it’s on 9Go! On Sunday night 8.30 now.
Apologies for a few mistakes this morn… I was attending Wentworth press event and the last thing I needed was OzTAM to be late (yep first world problems)! It was all a bit frantic, hopefully now sorted.
… and … breathe …. no need to apologise David, all sorted in the end!! Keep up the great work 🙂
Agree…
I can’t believe how they are pushing this guy after his appalling comments on radio.I wouldn’t watch purely on the way he conducted himself with a child and her mother on radio.Media Watch gave a good summery on him the other night. I’m aware I sound so old writing this (I’m not really), but Its a trash line in sand I can’t cross and I watch and love a lot of trashy telly.
I agree with you completely. Out of principle I would not watch it. Give me repeats of Judge Judy.
Just FYI u said Said “Seven network won Wednesday with 29.5% then Seven 25.2%“
I think there are 2 Mistakes
1. It was Thursday
2. I think it should be “then Nine 25.2%”
“Vera battles Kyle by Trial” is the name in the article title supposed to be the wrong way around? Lol.
Pathetic television. I would be interested in knowing how much that garbage cost to make?
I enjoyed Trial By Kyle…light fun….and I am not a fan of Kyle’s by any stretch…It was better than the pilot…..I am surprised anyone would think it was going to be serious ⁉
Last year in my review I wrote “Kyle is actually the best thing in this very silly show” and 10 were going to use it in promo. My view hasn’t changed… he’s entertaining if you don’t take any of it seriously.
Wow…and yes…
I loved it. So droll. It would also be great as a half hour show instead of CNG.
After reading all the positive comments about TBK, I might give it another go, maybe it was just my bad mood.
Hopefully Trial By Kyle’s numbers will drop…
I’m surprised at the low ratings for Love Island – I’m a school teacher and all of the kids are talking about it (high school).
The streaming numbers for Love Island are very high. I would think most of the younger audience would be watching it online in their own time.
Not sure those ads will pay for it though. The seems to just play the same ads every break.
Absolute trash.
A “Best of” compilation of Judge Judy cases would make for far more entertaining primetime viewing.
Dare I say I was looking forward to Trial by Kyle, but was left bemused. It’s a poor man’s Jerry Springer ! Absolute rot, not funny, surely not real, and I don’t suppose I’ll ever get that 25 minutes back, because that’s how long I lasted. I really like Kyle, but not this show. He’d be suited ad a Beast with a panel of Beauties, a show long overdue for an umpteenth return.
We all love Kyle, Ten should have billed it as a comedy then perhaps one could laugh along with it’s preposterous cases.
We all love Kyle. No. We don’t all love Kyle. Most cannot stand him, I would never watch or listen to anything he is ever involved in.
So you don’t watch or listen to him, just pass judgement from Womans Day and sensationalised news items.
Disagree Poida, I dont buy these magazines but have seen Kyle on my screens and radio from my teen years. You dont have to buy trash magazines to see his cockiness. The Project the other night had him and he was rude, disrespectful and so arrogant I was still left shocked knowing his personality. He is a love or hate personality and most hate him from what he says and the way he behaves.
FYI … Vera doesn’t start until 9pm at the conclusion of Escape from the City.
It’s difficult to compare like for like these days as so many slots crossover.
I actually enjoyed TBK last night, it was pretty much just light hearted fun
Trial by Kyle.
Paid actors and fake cases; Kyle is a genuinely nice, funny guy but I shan’t tune in again.
