At least, Chnnl 10 is Encoring “The Dog House” on Peach. When they decided to be HD only, the Vast majority of us weren’t going run out & land fill our 5 year old TVs!. Pity they Stoped Encoring Googlebox – the Biggest Ratings Winner.
You do have to Wonder at Channel 10s “Thinking” ! Viewers = Ratings = Advertising $$$$
Did you know that you can attach a $40 HD set top box from JB instead of throwing away your SD tv?
Kane Cornes vs. Eddie McGuire was awesome television last night of Footy Classified!
Was so good to have them back (travel guides), was a great laugh as always too, nice to see some foreign travel on the screen too even if we can’t physically go there at the moment.
May be the MasterChef ratings numbers last year were a one off ?? New judges plus past contestants would have been a reason for good numbers. Sad because it is a great format. The best of all the reality shows but it is an ageing format nothing last forever.
Lockdown also a big factor in 2020.
Yer good point.
Loved Travel Guides, it was like a historical documentary, even the advertorial Soot opening scene made me smile. International Airports with people in them….who would have thought we would see that again.
Very true. Just did a bubble hop to AKL for a couple of days. Extremely quiet in both SYD and AKL airports.
Great to see Travel Guides doing so well. Well deserved. Last nights episode in Greece was hilarious.
Endemol just doesn’t seem to be putting in as much effort into MasterChef as they have put into BB, LM and OPH.,.they’ve got to fix the episodes, they drag on way too long.
It seems a bit poorly and not much money spent eg the other night was Mac and cheese and last night lasagne yawn.
I wonder if any of our American friends here were watching ,you can’t go anywhere in the states without mac n cheese on the menu 😁.
I thought last nights MasterChef was only an hour 10 minutes, the shortest yet, I was surprised as I watched it later on record, not sure how much shorter they would be willing to make it, maybe 60 minutes minimum length before ‘have you been paying attention’ when that returns?
Once again low numbers for MasterChef. The episodes are too long which makes them boring. The beaming in of celebrity chefs doesn’t really work without their interaction with the contestants.
The whole series has become as stale as 3 day old bread 🍞🥪.
I think we all have funky flavoured ice cream fatigue to be honest. Best cooks and best food ever? Yeah nah.
I have to say I totally agree. I love watching the contestants cook, that’s always a win for me but the chefs being ‘beamed in’ is snore. Plus, adverts every 5minutes is way too much especially when the whole show is an advert for every item used. Channel 10 are amazing at strangling the golden goose.
