Puberty Blues… it just gets better

By David Knox on August 20, 2012 / Filed Under Programming 12

The buzz today may be all about Howzat, and rightly so, but let it be said: both Howzat and Puberty Blues actually get better in their next two instalments.

For my money Puberty Blues is the stronger of the two, with more light and shade. But it’s just personal taste, both of them are solid entertainment offerings.

If you enjoyed Puberty Blues last week I have three words for you this week:

Strip. Jack. Poker.

You have been warned!

8:30pm Wednesday on TEN.

    Great 2nd episode. Oh and BTW David you were mentioned in the promo for next week, well TV Tonight was. Congrats.

    From the promos, I thought it might have been a key party but strip jack poker sounds fun.

    It is aimed at 18-54 actually.

    Pathetic that this is aimed at teenagers!!! What a golden age it was when kids watched The Waltons and Little House On The Prarie…

    I was one of those people who watched the first episode via Facebook and I thought it was great and has heaps of promise. I can only imagine ratings being up on the pilot episode.

    CH, it isn’t my type of show, but the girlfriend loved it and I didn’t find it unbearable :)

    Craig, it’s more a dig that something that critics rave about will only get paltry numbers because the station it’s on is useless. I preferred PB to underbelly, and underbelly kills it in ratings.

    Same case for Offspring or Rush (oh how I miss Rush)

    @JoshS – yeah I think more than 8 people watched the pilot.

    Not watched Howzat yet but I did record it last night and will watch it soon.

    Hey Josh, do yourself a favour and be the 9th viewer watching on the night. The show is actually pretty awesome. That tip is for free,

    Looking forward to the next episode.

    A shame it’s on TEN and only eight people will be watching on the night…
