Australia’s most loved TV show: Big Bang Theory
The most loved TV show in Australia is Big Bang Theory, according to new research from Roy Morgan.
The Network Nine show pipped Seven’s Packed to the Rafters in a survey that asked Australians aged 14+ which show they “really love to watch”.
Two and a Half Men, which tonight sees Ashton Kutcher replace Charlie Sheen as the lead actor, was third, losing the top spot it claimed last year.
Ratings smash MasterChef ranked a relatively lowly seventh in the list, falling from second in 2010.
Top Gear – the show that everyone loves to watch, but don’t.
@Chris – Top Gear, the show everyone loved to watch – when it was on SBS.
I think the more pressing point is when do you watch it…
when it’s actully on FTA, you’ve recorded it… or you downloaded it…
All the shows I love I tend to download and watch rather than watch on FTA so means not much for advertisers
my bf reminded people of Sheldon from BBT. He wasn’t Australia’s most loved man.
I might have to give Bones and Criminal Minds a chance looking at the above stats – i have never seen them
About time Aussies got on board with How I Met Your Mother! But I thought it would be more popular with women than men?
Now we just have to wait for Aussies to catch onto Parks and Recreation 🙂
NCIS, Bones, Crim Minds – You just gotta LOVE a great murder/abduction/rape/serial killer lol.
It’s also about exposure. Easy to be noticed when you are on somewhere 6 six times a day. Re-run after re-run. Thanks Channel 9.
Top Gear. A real ratings winner for CH9; or it could be if they bothered to show a full series before interupting it with old episodes; or worse still the dreadful Aussie Version.
This shows how truly poor australian TV is.
I suspect that the numbers for Big Bang are down to viewers having no alternative, and how frequently it features on schedules.
Original, quality programming is missing in this country.
I say hit everyone with a license fee just like the BBC which will at least give the industry the cash to come up with something decent. The question is whether we have the talent to do it!
The most interesting thing about this is how much people like Spicks and Specks,, Dont go guys! make another series! your the last remaining good australian tv show…
