I watched a bit of the soccer game on SBS on Demand & heard some unusual sounds around the stadium. How having these types of sound was way beyond me. It annoys so much that I nearly had to turn the sound down. It reminded me of watching the 2010 FIFA World Cup game & I am fed up with the noise pollution around the stadium.
SBS’s main channel beat 10’s main channel last night…Imagine being in Sales at Ten and having to walk into agencies trying to sell their rubbish content. Unbelievable. 10 are getting close to irrelevant in Australian society in my opinion.
Nostalgia only continues to be nostalgic while ever the memory of watching it exceeds how much you can watch it now. Otherwise it is just reruns and rehashes.
I haven’t seen the specials yet, but from the sounds of it, with the exception of the new footage, it’s just content that was previously included on the DVDs. I remember the blooper reels were, True and Prude on The Panel, deleted scenes…. i think subsequent dvd releases may have omitted some or all of this.
I think communication got lost along the way with the Kath and Kim specials. For some reasons it was thought it was all going to be new episodes when it was always promoted as being a clip show with new skit segments. Evident by Tweets as fans seemed disappointed.
I didn’t tune in for the second special simply because clips just don’t do the show justice, your better off watching repeats and having a good laugh if you’re wanting nostalgia.
No surprises on the K&K front. Still great numbers (relative to everything else), but I didn’t expect as many to be back for seconds. I can’t even imagine what kind of numbers a new season would get after the girls pulled over 2 million per episode (but one?) in 2007.
Absolutely agree. I did not come back for ep 2. What a let down the whole thing was!
I loved them and would watch more of them
Not surprised Kath and Kim dropped! Where was all the new material 7 had heavily promoted for weeks? First show had about 5 minutes of new scenes that were very disjointed! Fans would have been very dissapointed after first show especially as many of the clips shown were from episodes shown over last few weeks! Many didnt bother with 2nd show. It was just a poor cheap attempt by 7 to cash in on the show’s popularity in exchange for ratings! Well 7 it’s clear the public didnt fall for it!!!
Big numbers on Sunday and last night still respectable.
I know it’s the last week of ratings but if I were Network 10 I’d be worried about where they’ll finish this year and what happens next year.
“it’s clear the public didnt (sic) fall for it!!!”.
Kath & Kim: 20 Preposterous Years 506,000 My Mum Your Dad (391,000), and The Challenge (168,000).
Well, it’s clear that viewers gave 7 almost equal to 9 & 10 combined.
Again, as I noted here yesterday, there wasn’t much in the way of competition on the other networks- the SBS soccer coverage started and finished for the England/Iran game relatively early here in WA so numbers would have been large for it here.
