Gogglebox starts strongly on Foxtel while My Kitchen Rules and Winter help Seven win night
The premiere of Gogglebox Australia on the Lifestyle Channel was watched by 146,000 viewers ahead of the series debut on free-to-air TV tonight.
Channel Ten will air the co-commissioned series, a local adaptation of the UK hit which follows people’s reactions as they watch TV, from 9pm. It was second on pay-TV only to Selling Houses Australia, also on the LifeStyle channel, which was watched by 152,000.
On free-to-air TV Seven’s drama series Winter saw its audience fall on its second outing, grabbing an audience of 918,000 at 9pm down from last week’s audience of 1.125m. Last week’s episode of Winter was watched by an extra 185,000, taking its total audience to 1.309m viewers.
Gave Gogglebox 5 minutes and couldn’t go any longer. Starting to despair for the state of Aussie TV, haven’t seen such a large bunch of losers and haters in the same place at the same time. It’s the beginning of the end of the world as we know it.
Sounding like a hater yourself there @Rosscoe.
Hate where hate’s due @Blutack.
I despair for Australian TV audiences, if there are a lot watching the awful MKR and even The Block and they do not watch what is one of the best dramas on TV The Good Wife.Wonderland I enjoy but I will watch Goggle thing tonight but I dont give me much hope past five minutes.
@Rosscoe – It was better than your Team Quirk TV ad.
Hate where hate’s due
it appears that the niceties of life have disappeared right down the line. Back in October last year I was approached to audition for gogglebox .. We were stuffed around a little with times, but I guess that’s show business, no Issue there. Clearly we didn’t make the cut .. No issue there either. Where my issue lies is: that despite being told we would be contact to know the outcome, to date no one from gogglebox has had the decency to make contact to say ‘thanks, but no thanks. Thanks for your time’. I’m actually appalled .. And NO, I will not be watching the show.
This was & is the bottom of the pit in bad & waste of time TV shows
Sour gapes Michelle
I am saddened by the fact that a show like this was produced in the first place, but HORRIFIED that people actually watch it. From now on, i shall only watch the news, turn the tv OFF and do some community work, like meals on wheels, or aides for the disabled, anything worthwhile, and not turn into a mindless FAT soul with nothing to do but eat and watch tv.
What is googlebox?
I can not believe that the makers of gogglebox do not seem to have any respect for the viewers mentality to produce such rubbish. I tried to stay as long as I could to make a good judgement but gave up so quickly , nothing but trash television!!!!!! What makes it even worse that the commentators have such low respect for themselves to take part.
