Housos debut pulls in 284,000 for SBS in Monday night ratings
The debut of Paul Fenech’s new show Housos, which aired at 10pm on SBS1 last night, brought in 284,000 in the Monday ratings.
The show rated three times higher than the average metro audience for that timeslot – 92,000 – and was the highest performing Monday late night non-sports show since Skins in 2008.
Fenech told Mumbrella yesterday that airing the show in the 10pm slot was a “missed opportunity” for SBS.
Nine’s The Big Bang Theory was the most watched non-news show, the third week of the news series rating with 1.369m in the 8pm slot, according to preliminary five-city metro ratings from OzTam.
Housos. I feel a massive crash and burn for the Fenech Mafia on this one.
Whike I enjoy the well-timed delivery of the word F&$k as much as the next bloke (assuming the next bloke isn’t John Singleton or Kerry Packer, and that’s decidedly unlikely), it takes more than guttersnipes yelling expletives to hold an audience. About as funny as a train crash. Fenech needs to have a talk to Chris Lilley, who, I believe, is selling hot dogs at the footy, subsequent of the stinker that Angry Boys ended up.
I loved it – though it was very funny and my god its soooo true to life.
I loved it. It was the funniest show I have seen in a long time. Fat pizza was great. Swift and shift was better, housos is the best, so so funny
Greg is obviously the only one here without a sense of humour (either that or he is a houso himself?) because Angry Boys was Chris Lilley’s best, and Housos is Paul Fennech’s best. It seems Australia has lost it’s ability to take the piss out of itself in all the glory that is political correctness. Sad times. Only a stooge looks up shows he doesn’t even like only to waste more of his precious time commenting about how bad it is. Housos is more a reality than reality TV itself, the truth can hurt those who deny it.
The first show of Housos was a bit slow, it was slightly funny in spots but was still a bit disjointed with the story line.
The second show was much better, they are starting to find their stride.
Loved it..
It beats those Reality programmes that are flooding the TV channels,hands down.
