Anyone not Watching Matlock is missing out…not only the actors…but the fabulous writing team….
Agree. Totally. Actually watched it first run then again as a rerun on one of 10’s multiple encores and reruns and repeats.
I agree. I was skeptical going in but Kathy Bates is a heavy hitter so gave it a go. Very different take and very well executed.
What are the year to date results?
By my count, the overnight national weekly wins are 24 / 11 to seven over nine. Weekly wins are not how final share is determined however. For that, I think we have to wait.
Seven needs to exert in more effort if they want to win the ratings for the 5-city metro and gain a larger audience share. The 1st Test Cricket between Australia v India played at Perth Stadium will help increase the audience in the east coast in prime time.
Overall, Seven has guaranteed the national ratings victory in terms of weeks won and audience share.
