I think that the Sunday Night Takeaway is the best show for a very long time! How people can watch the ‘Married at first site’ is beyond me with all those weird plastic faces!- but each to their own!
Chris and Julia are fantastic and the show is full of fun and genuine people! Real entertainment at last!

No rights to a major sport, and show after show with dismal ratings. Channel 10 is done for… expect CBS to liquidate by year’s end

Being in the advertising space and having been shown the various reels + sales spiels in the lead up to the launch of Ten’s “Sunday Night Takeaway’, I was quietly excited by its prospects.
After watching 1.5 episodes now, I’m disappointed to say that it’s fallen way short of my expectations. I’m not surprised at the drop in audience week-to-week. I won’t be tuning in next week.

I have no idea how anyone watches Married at first sight! The network is making fouls of you. I have watched every season except this one. The produces tell them what to say. Most of the people chosen just want the face on TV and do not care about finding love. The experts don’t have a say in who they chose, they are just there as window dressing to make the show seem genuine!! If I want to watch a drama I will watch Bold and the beautiful!! I not have them treat me as a sucker for watching it!! It is all edited rubbish!!

Chris Brown getting to much exposure now. Should have stayed Bondi Vet. Shame because he seems to be a very nice down to earth person.

Sunday night TV is such an IQ drain. I feel dumber just from the blanket advertising for the Sunday night line up across all stations.

There are two reasons why I won’t watch Sunday Takeaway, 1 is Julia, 2 is Morris.

Channel 10 should cut this show to an hour then follow it up with Impractical Jokers!

Sunday takeaway is fantastic. It’s warm ,it’s bright, it is just fun entertainment. I really don’t understand why in Australia, we don’t have variety shows. We should daytime variety shows, evening variety shows. So many amazing talented people , who could work on tv. I really don’t understand it. If turn on the to on in Europe ,USA, there are variety , shows like Ellen , simply sit down interviews , with some music at the end, just simply shows, that are watched for the pure fact, that interesting people are be interviewed.. They have these shows on all day long . I wish one day Aust will have thes shows, maybe one day l wish!!

Biggest load of trash EVER! So very staged with a whole lot of has-been’s they call “Celebrities”! Funny how every audience member picked is conveniently on the end of the row…for easy access..obviously! How thick do you really think Australian viewers are? I used to LOVE Julia, but she has got to be such a big mouth who loves the sound of her own voice, go back to being what you are trained for Chris…soooo over rated, the lot of them!
