Packed to the Rafters final episode delivers Seven 2m viewers
Seven had a ratings high last night thanks to the final episode of Packed to the Rafters attracting over 2 million viewers.
The channel improved its lead on its rivals compared to the same night last week, with a 32.7 per cent share, according to preliminary OzTam figures. Last week, it attracted a 30.3 per cent share.
Packed to the Rafters, which was the most watched regular programme for 2008, attracted an average of 1.9m viewers in its first series.
Other high-rating Seven programmes last night were Unlikely Animal Friends, which was aired in the 7:30pm time slot before Packed to the Rafters, and Seven News.
I am silently praying that it was indeed the “last episode” of Packed to the Rafters. I can remember when they started to promo the show during the tennis at the start of the year. I said to myself then, after hearing the title, that if the show was about a family called the Rafters who have a lot of people in their house, I would never, ever, ever watch the show for fear of excess brain damage.
I mean seriously, look at the top four rated shows from last night. No wonder clients reject work on the basis that it’s “too cerebral”. FFS
At least we have a triple bill of Two and a half men to look forward to tonight! God help me! Kill me now…….
I make my poor kids watch ABC.
So now they’re smart as wips … but have no one at school to talk to about what they watched last night.
I love Packed to the Rafters, obviously I’m standing alone in this forum though!
To eek – I thought the EXACT same thing when I first saw the ads, which is why I never watched season one, but after watching an ep of season two I really enjoyed it and got hooked. You have to give this show a chance before trashing it.
There are a lot of bad Assie TV shows out there, PTTR isn’t one of them. (Nor is ‘Satisfaction’, but that’s unrelated)
PTTR is the best show on Australian TV – local or otherwise. It’s easy to watch, well made, well acted, funny, interesting. Long live PTTR!!
