Cop shows win Sunday for Seven

The Force at 8pm – a reality show which follows the Western Australia police – was the most watched show for the evening, pulling in a conservative 1.4 million, according to preliminary OzTam data. Coming in second was Border Security at 7:30 with 1.3 million.
American crime drama Bones also contributed to Seven’s victory with an audience just shy of 1.2 million.
Over at Ten, despite making the top ten most watched shows, Australian Idol’s audience fell from last week to 1 million viewers. Rove also dropped to 852,000.

Every week you manage to include a negative comment towards Rove despite him winning for the 2nd week in total viewers and all key demos?
Any reason?

Mike, can you please explain how Rove won on total viewers and all key demos when clearly there were 11 shows with a bigger audiences? Is there some form of “new maths” I should know about?

Sadly TV is plumbing new depths when a reality TV cop shows gets highest ratings.
‘The quietest Sunday for TV’
When you look at the list of programs on Sunday night – news, reality shows, cop shows – is it any surprise at all that TV is losing massive audience?
