889,000 for Adam Hills chat show debut on ABC1
ABC1’s new Wednesday night entertainment lineup failed to break a million viewers last night.
Chat show Adam Hills in Gordon St Tonight averaged 889,000 while morbid sexcom Laid rated 608,000, according to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam.
Meanwhile, the series return of The Farmer Wants A Wife delivered 891,000 for Nine.
I hope Ben Elton was taking notes!
Good to see a convict better a pom
Adam Hills in Gordon street tonight, was excellent TV!! ! When Viewers finally wake up and realise that Two and a Half Men is lame sex jokes for the american bogan, and watch real Tv with real jokes and personalities with real talent, this show will rate as well as Spicks and Specks, another ABC gem!!!
Thanks Adam, thanks ABC:)
I watched it, and it was good. A bit shaky, as all first episodes tend to be, but i’ll be watching again next week.
unless, that is, doing this means he is taking time off gruen… god i miss gruen transfer..
channel nine -the home of laughter- it was a laugh alright that they put on a show that went backwards ten years or longer. Anyone have any idea if it has been axed?any lame american comedy is better than this!!
Such a relief after the debacle on 9 the previous night!
889,000 is a pretty solid number. I think 600,000 for Laid at 9.30 is good when you can watch it on ABC2 the next night or iview it. It’s been a while since ABC show’s at 9:30 did much better than that.
Hill’s could end up with a million when you count tonight’s repeat.
right on marcus!
Hills’ show was good, although Arj Barker was on it… (He was also on Elton’s)
If anyone gets a chance to see Seann Walsh when he is over – do go and watch him. If The ABC / Hill’s are smart they will get him on the show!!!!

You drew my attention to Adam Hills on ABC1 tonight (16 Feb, no over-run, it started as advertised at ’8:32pm’, bless Aunty) so I checked it out. Funny, light-hearted, no banging on about a personal agenda. He’s an unassuming bloke who brings the very best of humor out of his guests without shouting or making blatant nob gags. Absolutely made my evening. This calibre of Aus comedy on the teeve is so rare.
I’m oficially hooked. Thanks mate.
