Modern Family the first Ten show to topple Masterchef from number one spot
Masterchef last night was for the first time this series pushed from the most-watched spot by another Ten program, with the network’s new US comedy the Modern Family premiering with an average audience of 1.55m.
Ten also took out the top three spots in total audiences, with US crime show NCIS coming in third.
god i love this tv show : (
yea, i also love this show… what a winner!
It wasn’t bad. Some genuinely funny moments, but also several ‘by the numbers’ jokes. A touch predictable and a bit laboured in parts, but still, better than that woeful 2.5 men. I’ll give it another go.
Dumb show..the “funniest” (and I’m using that term loosely) bits were shown in the ad promos…also it ran over by at least 10mins which mucked up my IQ taping of NCIS!
Can see this show dropping away after a few weeks…
i like it and generally i don’t like much … gets better as time goes on and has managed to sustain the laughs for 23 episodes. Has held audience in the US too.
Bring back Ed.
CK Cash, if you’re IQing NCIS, it’s clear that you’re mentally challenged. I’ll bet you ten grand we see a second series of this.
@eek and others….I’m more concerned about your mental health if you think that the Modern Family is quality television and amusing comedy….I bet you are also one of the many people on this site and around Australia who think that MasterChef Australia is quality television also.
I’m sorry CK Cash, where did I say it was “Quality television and amusing comedy”?
All I said was, I bet you ten grand we see a second series. It’s the kind of show “people” like to watch. It’s different and fresh. I never said it was good. I can’t explain this show’s popularity any more than I can explain the popularity of Two and a Half Men. Even the show’s creator’s can’t explain why Modern Family works. It just does.
You said “Can see this show dropping away after a few weeks…”
I reckon you’re wrong. That’s all.
The ads made it look like a show that was trying too hard. The dad with his ‘High School Musical’ dance? Arrested did wacky better.
The catch-up TV numbers and search insights (day following) suggest some good pass along.
