Upper Middle Bogan delivers strongly for ABC1
New ABC1 comedy Upper Middle Bogan about a woman who finds she is adopted and has bogan roots – performed strongly for ABC1 on Thursday night, delivering an overnight metro audience of 927,000, winning its timeslot and the sixth biggest of the day.
Seven’s best performing entertainment show was Dynamo: Magician Impossible, which rated 920,000 while Nine’s Big Brother rated 906,000.
Ten’s Masterchef masterclass rated 614,000, according to the preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTAM.
Nine won the evening with a 22 per cent share of the free to air audience, followed by Seven on 19.3 per cent. ABC1 rated 13.8 per cent, just ahead of Ten’s 13.6 per cent.
Upper Middle Bogan speaks to the bogan in all of us. Loved it.
Enjoyed Upper Middle Bogan – well written, well acted and good production values (and it was funny).
Well i must say that it was aimed at the upper bogan rather than cheap crass jokes and simulated violence that some other shows have…definatley on the watch list for next week!
Did not expect to enjoy this, especially when I realised it was made by the people behind “The Librarians”, but this is actually funny.
It’s also well written and sharply observed satire.
For me the standout was the 13-year-old son.
I had a huge laugh at some of the things he said, including the line about how they should now regard their non biological grand-mother: “Is she like a friend of the family?”.
I didn’t realise this was made by the same team behind The Librarians. I’ll definitely check it out now!
As an adoptee, I found this production an absolute cack, l laughed out loud at the definite truths the were shown through a great comedy. Not ever seen before, it is like comparing ducks to donkeys, your DNA is an amazing link, when viewed by this adoptee. Always plenty to smile about 🙂
Upper Middle Bogan was far better than I had expected. Looking forward to the second week and would recommend it to anyone.
