258,000 viewers agreed with Seven CEO David Leckie that Cougar Town is a s*** show.
At least, that’s how much the show dropped from the first week to the second.
The Seven comedy still won its slot but it took a dive from 1.34m to 1.08m. The White Room similarly slipped, down to 678,000 allowing So You Think You Can Dance Australia / The Biggest Loser to win on 914,000 / 838,000 while Getaway had to settle for 833,000. Those numbers are low all round, with viewers clearly unhappy with choices. Is that why The Big Bang Theory is up to 299,000 on GO!?
Law And Order: SVU took 902,000 beating How I Met Your Mother’s 890,000 and 20 to 1‘s 887,000.
Hot Seat (521,000) beat Deal or No Deal (512,000) and Today (364,000) pipped Sunrise (354,000) for the third time this week -can it hope to take out an elusive weekly win?
UFC Wired was up to 96,000 on ONE (NB: UFC 110 airs this weekend) but The Circle has slipped to 44,000 for TEN.
Nine Network won the night.

the show is a piece of c.r.a.p.. More skanky women than Sex and The City has and that’s saying something. Go away old moles.
and this is the reason I have seen up to ep 15 because all our FTA channels are so unreliable.
@ julian – for the time being,but Today is slowly but surely overtaking Sunrise. It’s only a matter of time before it’s winning nationally on a regular basis.
The Circle is pretty decent, Ten needs to do a lot more publicity for it and, as stated here, do something about the timeslot.
I agree that the Circle should be put on at 9am.
By 10am – viewers have settled in to Kerry Anne or that Sunrise show.
It’d be a shame if Denise Drysdale is once again taken off our screens – she is a great talent!
@Kuttsywood Olympic weeks are excluded. So Sunrise shall continue winning week after week.
I still think they need to push forward HIMYM to an earlier time or a different day so it doesn’t clash. Perhaps Mondays at 7:30pm and have it as a double episodes.
Cougar Town just doesn’t work for me. It’s trying too hard.
I actually like The Circle (minus the informercials). I don’t find any of them annoying and I find everyone in good humour.
The Circle is on the road to getting test pattern figures. The only solution is for Ten to relaunch those cheesy local morning programs.
Atleast they will play out the episodes Justin unlike some of our other commercial channels and now with 7two it is likely to be played out quicker I mean they need something to play once 24, Lost, Mercy, Stargate Atlantis and Heroes have finished their episodes.
258,000 viewers may agree with David Leckie…1.08m obviously don’t.
@ justin – your right it will drop off further as more and more people discover how bad a show it is. I predict it’ll drop to about 900k ish then stupid 7 will bump it and it’s ratings will plummet further until finally it’s off to 72!
From what I have seen of The Circle I definitely think it deserves more that 44,000… Everyone seems pretty natural and the adverts are fine… Maybe no one knows about it because it starts at 10 and others have settled in to kerri-anne or morning show… It’s time to move it to the 9.00am slot and see how it does there against the other competition.
Last night was the first night I watched the white room and really enjoyed it although I feel the sparseness of the studio lets its down, TBYG, Rockwizz and Spicks and Specks all have bright entertaining backdrops, also i dont see the need for two hosts, both could do with replacing.
Re Cougar Town: I think there was quite a bit of hype from the US regarding this show and a lot of people i know have just downloaded it, the US are up to episode 14 for gods sake.
If they didn’t want to play them on TV at the same time as the US why not utilise the internet and allow their whole catalogue of shows to be shown online. That way they still can get the advertising revenue from the show and stop people downloading from the US, I for one would just watch them online.
