    1. Plankton are way too smart to watch anything on 7, 9 and 10. I don’t think the word has even been invented yet to describe the lowest form of TV in this Country.

  1. Totally agree re the commercial networks, although I’ve found myself watching and enjoying Big Brother, which is not something I’d normallty watch. ABC factuals and most of their drama’s are great quality.

  2. As the aging Tony Barber jibbed on the show last night, The Front Bar is not national unlike Sale of the Century was. NRL states get Police: Hour of Duty at 9:15pm.

    The Oztam numbers confirm 347,000 inculdes the 10:45pm screening in the NRL states, with just 18k Syd and 12k Bris. Seven would be happy with over 200k in Melbourne alone at 9:15pm, especially given its lead in.

    Andy Lee slotted in nicely too, wonder if later we will see episodes with all four on the desk.

    1. Lee is rubbish. Typical comedian who needs to be fed in and tries to hard. Pang is ad-lib and is so much better it isn’t funny. Ryan F is also way better than over rated Lee.

  3. I came back to Australia about year ago after living many years overseas. The commercial networks have noticeably deteriorated to an extent that I only watch ABC, if I’m not watching Netflix.

    Really impressed with 7.30, Planet America, FourCorners, Stateless, Home Delivery, Insiders

    I actually think the ABC keeps people connected to broadcast tv as if it didn’t exist as it does now – I wouldn’t even bother tuning the tv to all the stations !
