A pity The 7.30pm Project isn’t doing better. I enjoy their lighter side of the news style. And there’s always something that makes me laugh out loud.

Nessa I think the 7:30pm project isn’t doing very well because most people tend to watch the 7:00pm project if that’s what they’re after 😉

I’d say the “crazy” success of 2 and a half men is affecting 7pm project.. which i think deserves more viewers (7pm that is..) light, entertaining and informative..
Decent numbers all round.. seems Wednesday is big night of the week in TV land..

Was a Masterchef fan, but getting turned off as it treats the viewers like fools. They explain the rules of the challenge once, then have a break, explain again, then interview 4 or 5 contestants and they explain the rules of the challenge, then a break etc etc…How much actual original material is in a 30 minute show? Probably about 15 mins once the ad breaks and the repetition of what you already know are taken out….
