  1. I’ve watched Rosehaven from the start and then more recently Hard Quiz, and these two shows have led me to watch bits of Upper Middle Bogan in between. This week I saw my first full episode of UMB and really enjoyed it despite not knowing the storylines or characters at all. Just shows that the lead-in principle does work sometimes.

  2. The arias were great last night, much better then they have been in recent years. Bit cringe at times but I enjoyed them. The Veronica’s did a great job filling In for delta at the last minute.

  3. Big Bad Love on ABC 2 was interesting. The part that struck me the most was when she went to a seminar that’s shows woman tactics abusers use and in the chat afterwards between the host and the seminar leader, the leader talked about woman needing to watch out for over the top positive behaviour in the early stages. It was a short show so there was the opportunity to cover things in depth but I would’ve like to have seen that seminar covered in more depth.

  4. Aria Awards were very average last night. There was no sense of occasion. I have seen high school concerts that were better. Everyone seemed underwhelmed, even Crowded House. Thank God for John Farnham but it was too little too late.
    Maybe it is the lack of nominees this year that are entertainers. They all seemed averge compared to the energy of say the Grammy. Such a shame as it was the 30th & could have been really special.

    1. Agree.
      Very flat.
      But congrats to Crowded House – long overdue.
      Tried to watch the 30 years of The Arias special afterwards, with Kylie hosting.
      It was supposed to be counting down the best 30 Aria moments in the last 30 years but cut in halfway through, so missed the first 15 .
      David, do you know if this will be repeated on Ten’s Catchup site? Not there as yet…

          1. Thanks sav001.
            Strange way of doing it -would have thought they would have screened both eps together after the Arias.

  5. I’ve noticed that ACA’s rating have really slipped in the last three months? It usually rates just under a million but now in the 600’s? What’s going on for Nine? And how come Seven have just ripped off 20-1 with a weird news-fo-tianment 10 to 1? Couldn’t decide if it was serious or light entertainment with unknown expert grabs?

    1. I would say summer as daylight savings starts in early October, less people are watching in the early evening. I still feel there is a general trend in declining ratings, but networks still treat viewers poorly with inaccurate EPG’s, last minute schedule changes, bumping shows and inconsistent start times!
