    Looks like a lot of other people were sucked in to watching yet another NCIS repeat like me….

    @Rutzie – so WSP could be getting the same or better numbers as OUaT? That’s a bizarre thing to say.

    WSP is being wasted by Seven in a 9:30pm timeslot. It could easily be pulling close to a million at 7:30pm.

    TEN is going to struggle retaining second spot as the Olympics draw closer and Big Brother returns afterwards. Can’t wait for BB!!!

    “Episodes” seems to be rating reasonably well for 9, which is good as it’s a terrific program. Maybe they’ll actually leave it in the same timeslot for the duration.

    Disappointing that Episodes is not doing better. Maybe that the show is over 12 months old is part of the reason but it deserves better.

    I think it is fair to say that ch9 only realy had 1 hour of ratings last night, the rest on its main channel were a disaster.

    Great to see a back to basivs MC doing so well, it always seem to start slowly and build. Ch10 do not need to meddle too much with this going forward, lesson learnt I hope.

    So pleased that Being Lara Bingle is still doing well, Ten seemed to have nailed the trashy tv genre….good on ‘em

    Finally Ch7 with their steady stable schedule win again…..take note ch9
