@ Secret Squirrel…Brooklyn Nine-Nine…you can watch it again on Sunday 8.30PM …SBS2…
@ stevie g …Orlando was very young…very thin…I have previously watched.
For me it was Family Fued then the first 30 mins of the Project onto Home and Away, The X Factor and the first Ep of Amazing Race. 2nd ep on PVR and House Husbands will be caught up on through the weekend replay (although they wouldn’t like to hear that!)
Any numbers for the australia vs zimbabwae odi game on fox?
I love HYBPA. although, i can only convince my partner to watch it when Kate Langbrook isn’t a guest.
If only I had a ratings box…….
I enjoy Brooklyn Nine-Nine as a solid, better tha average comedy, but surprised it won awards for this first season.
And I keep forgetting about Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Ok, it doesn’t set the world on fire but it’s alright as something light to watch after dinner.
However, since it was swapped with Legally Brown, which doesn’t interest me, I haven’t watched it.
Steve G promos have Orlando Bloom in Midsummer Murder tonight.
Assume the start of the US rating season at end of September wil lead to some fast tracked content on Ten on Sundays and Mondays as their current line up just does not cut it. How many more eps of the low rating HYBPA have Ten committed to?
I was intending to watch Midsommer Murders, becasue it had Orlando Bloom in it, but totally forgot.
Crap, I completely forgot about House Husbands. The change from Sundays to Mondays has really thrown me – I keep forgetting.
