  1. I haven’t viewed anything from last night because I was at concert but they are disappointing figures for Koala Rescue and DWTS in particular. A real shame.

  2. Thoroughly enjoyed Spicks and Specks 90’s special last night. Wish the ABC would bring back Spicks and Specks permanently on a Sunday night. We need a bit of fun entertainment to end the week.

  3. DWTS is such a feelgood show, the production is excellent again this year, and the judges are a delight.

    The docos about North Korea on SBS were a real eye opener.

  4. Koala Rescue barely did any better than what MKR was doing but kudos to Seven for successfully killing The Good Doctor with constant timeslot changes, erratic scheduling and delays. The promos better be adjusted asap because ratings indicate Dr Hugh is Australia’s favourite and The Good Doctor is not Australia’s #1 drama.

    1. Yeah, I am always annoyed at inaccurate promotions. It wasn’t number one for most of last year either!?
      And as for Ch7 killing a drama, they successfully shunt dramas around and have for years, but 9 used to be much worse. At least Doctor Doctor returned to the same time slot. When will programmers realise viewers want consistency, we form habits! if they keep dropping and moving shows, it is too hard and we give up!

    2. Same with God Friended Me….I lose interest quickly when shows are moved around…cut suddenly etc… I want regular times…regular days …I do not want to have to over think watching TV…

  5. I just don’t get how the public like MAFS. What a load of tripe, in my view. 1.2m watching a couple not getting married, just garbage. Myself l enjoyed DWTS. Another great night.

  6. Out of all the encores and repeats these multi channels show, particulary 10, why don’t they ever show repeats of Australian hits such as Retro Rove or Thank God Your Here from 7pm on Peach or something and see how that goes?

      1. Which is why I’m asking why I’m kind of asking why don’t they get them. The shows are still there and exist. Are US shows the only shows worth buying once the rights expire?
