Ten’s new game show Pointless premieres with 493,000
Network Ten has used its multi-channels Eleven and One to give its new nightly game show Pointless as much exposure as possible, screening the program across all its channels at 6pm last night.
A similar strategy was employed for Family Feud throughout its run, with the Grant Denyer fronted show bringing in 690,000 metro viewers across the three channels for its first episode four years ago.
Pointless replaces Family Feud as Ten’s nightly game show
I am a HUGE Grant Denyer fan & loved his show? Tuned in to the replacement last night…….sorry Channel 10 it’s not for me? who is that host???? I didn’t take to the format at all & probably won’t make the end of the week. There will be something else to do??
Sorry channel 10 ..bad show .and Mark’s voice so annoing .too cold .
Pointless is a totally and utterly POINTLESS show & the only reason for it’s first night audience number was people tuning in to see how POINTLESS the show format really is & to see if it had any redeeming POINTS.
Answer – NO, NO, NO!!!
GET IT OFF – ASAP!!!
Numbers of viewers tonight ((Tuesday) will dramatically drop!!!
What a stupid show Of course there was a big audience to start with Peole just wanting to see what it was all about .Ch 9 news for me ✅
We started we our screens being bombarded with previews weeks before the actual show, and now we are saturated with a poor imitation of a very successful show. Had the show been in any way comparable to the English version one wouldn’t mind but the whole show has been dumbed down for a presumed less than educated Australian audience. Shame
Have watched the uk version and now the aussie. Half hour not long enough, no interaction with contestants, little more banter would make more entertaining. Haven’t really enjoyed it much..

Omg!!!! In all my living years I have never seen a tv show that’s as boring as pointless !!! For goodness sakes PLEASE bring back family feud !!!! Pointless is exactly that !!!! The host has about as much appeal as wet socks in your shoes!!!! Please put us out of our misery and get rid of this mundane , boring show!!!!
Thank so much!
A shocker have watched 3 shows …the name is correct it is a pointless show…boring…
Pointless – what an utterly POINTLESS show. Even the promos are a total & tedious waste of time & revolt me. Why do I have to watch them during otherwise good programs. Get the s#*t off ASAP.
Grant Denyer could not even save the show.
I watched 1st ep of Pointless and there’s no interaction towards other contestants. it was unenjoyable and have switched off this show.
I hate to say it, but I’m disappointed. I didn’t think that shortening the show would negatively affect it but it has, as the best part of the show in the British version was the first two rounds (which is now only one). But the main letdown (as was exactly the same for ‘The Chase’) is the hosts need to relax and be themselves. Forget all this hyped energy – it’s unAustralian and not entertaining. We need more laconic, laid-back Aussie characters.
Tuned in a couple of times this week
Totally disappointing after having watched Family Feud
I won’t be watching
I’m so disappointed the way Family Fued finished…….. just dumped.
I totally agree with comments on Pointless it’s so boring and there is no comparison to Family Fued for good fun family entertainment.
Now we watch Channel 9 news instead of Family Fued and don’t bother with Channel 10 news at 5pm.
Get rid of this rubbish pointless show. Bring back the feud.
Like 500.000 people I was 1 of the people who tuned in on Monday night to see what all the hype was about. You made it seem like GOGALBOX on the promo’s. It is exactly whet the name saids. The prize money is shit I bet if it’s still on in 4yrs it won’t be giving away $6.4mil and 48 CARS. SO After 3-4 Weeks it will be on CH1 or 11 maybe about 4-5pm until all the shows that have been made r FINISHED. KIND REGARDS PHIL.
Fair dinkum who the hell do these tv people think we are. Who do they survey? Not me.
Put the Fued back on tv you morons. Pointless is exactly that. What a load of rubbish. No excitment, no laughter ,no light hearted banter. BORING. Its on the abc for a reason.
Totally Pointless big mistake Chanel 10 bring back Family Fued
the set is cold no warmth no fun between the contestants and the Host he definitely isn’t a Grant Denyer.I like the Dr but what is he doing on that dumb so called game show.
Please spare us the ads every ad break when watching other shows we are hit over the head with Pointless it is driving us mad.
Very boring I have tried a few times to watch this show but not a fan and the host. Who is he? His attempt at hosting the show is so very poor. Perhaps the dullest game show host to ever hit our screens. Shame shame.
I was very disappointed to see Family Feud go. I checked out its’ replacement and found it to be very aptly named. “Pointless” by name and pointless by nature. I have moved onto another viewing routine.
I now watch the news at 6… on another channel!
Thanks for making 6 o’clock my time to catch up on the news, more interesting than watching this pointless crap with more terrible an annoying host than channel eleven ever had for couch time
