The first episode of Super Fun Night did better in the demos than it did in Total People.
While 791,000 wasn’t a bad start for the Nine comedy, it ranked second for the night in the key demos, only bettered by Big Brother. Last night on Twitter many viewers were shocked to learn she was using an American accent in the show.
Broader-skewing Dancing with the Stars also saw a drop but still helped Seven to win the night comfortably.
Seven network share was 32.4% then Nine 25.2%, TEN 18.6%, ABC 17.6% and SBS 6.0%.
Seven News topped the night with 1.14m for Seven then Dancing with the Stars (1.13m), Home and Away (952,000), Today Tonight (942,000), Body of Proof (498,000) and Million Dollar Minute (476,000). Suits was 165,000.
Nine News (1.09m) was best for Nine then A Current Affair (976,000), Big Brother topped the demos for the night (863,000), Super Fun Night (791,000), Big School and Hot Seat (both 574,000), Come Fly with Me (470,000) and Movie: Friends with Benefits (334,000).
TEN Eyewitness News (551,000) was TEN’s best performer then The Project (501,000), Recipe to Riches (479,000), NCIS: LA (473,000), Sleepy Hollow (471,000). The Simpsons was 341,000.

We lasted until the first ad break. Just. Then went back to watching a recording.
I had really high hopes for this.. i didnt hate it but expected much better… where was Jackie W in the pilot?
I have been watching The Great British Bakeoff & as usual is so much better than the Aussie version (which I enjoyed also).
Might give Rebel a go when Jackie Weaver is in an ep.
Sorry @jimbojones …. You sort of lost me when you mentioned Super Fun Night and Seinfeld in the same comment 🙂
I haven’t watched it yet, I taped it as I was watching Dancing With The Stars.
Don’t like how they promoted it with Jacki Weaver when she hasn’t been in the first 2 eps aired in the US, not sure when she will turn up as the mother.
It wasn’t very good. Kate Jenkinson was the highlight for me! And she was great. No surprise though.
@Didda, it was actually the second episode. ABC in the US pulled the pilot because it got really negative reviews and aired the second instead as the premiere episode.
Channel Nine, the alleged “home of laughter” (not). I’m thoroughly enjoying DWTS this year, there are some really good contestants this season, though I think the wrong one was sent home last night.
Just saw Super Fun Night. You know what? I didn’t think it was that bad (you thought I was going to be really mean, didn’t you). It is miles better than Bogan Pride.
At least SFN is actually trying to be funny, unlike so many Australian sitcoms that treat jokes like they are a disease to be avoided at all costs.
Rebel’s problem is that she only knows four jokes: one line fat jokes, one line innuendos, falling over, and wardrobe malfunctions. These will get tired very quickly. Modern comedy tends to favour narrative complexity and character depth over one liners and slapstick.
The format has potential. Every SFN they go off on a little adventure, so it’s not likely to run out of ideas soon. The sidekicks need work – at the moment they are just hangers-on. She can learn from Seinfeld and stand back and let others get the limelight on occastion. However, it’s early days. With…
I stopped watching about 45 seconds in. I’m not sure I want to see Rebel’s lady parts all that much.
Was that really the first episode? It was confusing and seemed to reference a past episode. Didn’t really seem to set up why there was a Super Fun Night
This comedy was far superior to the sexist and homophobic type of rubbish that is 2 Broke Girls and 2.5 Men and even BBT normally found on 9 so I welcomed Rebel’s sitcom.
I love Rebel but I couldn’t stick with this at all. The timing, the accent, the direction, everything fell short.
I watched Super Fun Night last night to see if it was any good. It was bad, very bad. I like Rebel Wilson but this was some of her worst work i think. Next week will be interesting to see how many people tune out.
@Aussie_Austridge Isn’t Nine’s schedule always filled with alleged comedies like 2 Broke Girls, 2,5 Men and Big Bang Theory?
I can’t believe Nine is screening “comedy” again. Did they learn nothing from the Ben Elton disaster?
