Viewers can’t watch Kevin Can Wait
Not a single TV show reached a metro audience above 1m on Tuesday night, as the free-to-air networks’ summer schedule sent viewers elsewhere.
Every one of the seven most watched programs of the night were news and current affairs, according to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTAM.
Seven News, which averaged 936,000 metro viewers from 6:00pm to 6:30pm, was the most watched program. Nine News averaged 839,000 in the same time slot.
However, in Sydney, Nine News came out on top, by 214,000 viewers to Seven News’ 200,000.
The top rating entertainment show was Home And Away on Seven, which rated 639,000, making it eighth on the night. Next was Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, also on Seven, which drew 531,000 viewers.
Ten’s best performing show was The Project, which rated 499,000.
In the key advertising demographic of 25-54, Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares was the most watched show.
Nine’s doubles episodes of US sitcom Kevin Can Wait, starring Kevin James, was of little interest to Australian TV viewers, rating just 417,000 for one of the episodes. The second episode of Kevin Can Wait did even worse – attracting just 339,000 viewers.
Seven won the night with a share of 18.4%, followed by Nine on 16.3% and ABC on 12.6%. Ten was fourth with 11.9%.

Personally I love Kevin James & his new TV series Kevin Can Wait. Kevin James along with every other brilliant actor and actress on the show has put a smile on my face along with huge laughs every single Monday Night since the TV show aired it’s pilot episode. I sure hope the views go up & I even suggest and encourage more viewers because the show is a giant box of laughs. Even after years of hard work with The King of Queens, Kevin James still have the moves, laughs and joy that TV has to offer. I only wish I could be on the cast of Kevin Can Wait. Would be a dream come true.

Kevin can wait is amazing. I love his old show The King Of Queens and I was so excited when I heard his return. There are little easter eggs in the new show that hints at the old show. I watch The King Of Queens almost every day and it never gets old. That’s how I feel with Kevin Can Wait. It’s hilarious and just refreshing. I hope it has a season two because it deserves it. I don’t care what Australians think of it. They should just be happy we allow them to receive American television. Their opinions and ratings are as useful as a boat on land. No one cares about what they think LOL anyways, it’s very rare for a show to make me laugh and keep my interest and Kevin Can Wait has delivered on both of those. There better be a season two or my three million subscribers and I will boycott that tv station. Thank you.
