Wild Boys audience continues to lose numbers
Seven’s bushranger drama Wild Boys has continued to lose numbers after pulling 1.225 million last night, 449,000 down from its debut two weeks ago.
The highly promoted series was fifth most-watched program for the night but won its 7:30 time slot, according to preliminary metro ratings from OzTam. Underbelly: Razor was slightly down on last week by 53,000 to 1.408 million and was the second most-watched show overall. It also won its time slot of 8:30. Seven News won overall in five-city metro numbers while Underbelly was most-watched in Sydney and Melbourne. Sunday’s top 15 shows:
- Seven News – Seven – 1.446m
- Underbelly: Razor – Nine – 1.408m

I have to wonder whether the programmers responsible for all these terrible Aussie shows really think about the audience they are programming for. I couldn’t be less interested in watching Wild Boys and don’t know anyone who would. The Renovators is a total bore. We all saw what happened to Top Gear Australia. And Underbelly is yet again, a predictable music video clip.
Message to all programmers – the only show myself and all my peers are actually loving at the moment is Prisoner on Triple1 Hits! Everything else is just too hard and awful to even bother with.

Deadwood has set the standard of what should be considered good 1800’s television.

Hi Singo,
(Love your earlier work, by the way.)
Gosh yes, how poor of us to mention when numbers are down… presumably you’re happy enough when we report them as being up though? Here’s a couple I prepared earlier:

Nope. I got nothing on that one
While I’m confessing to the sin of sharing bad news, I’ve afraid I can’t remember the last time we had good news around Two And A Half Men. Still, the series return with Ashton Kutcher might do well this week. Watch this space…
Cheers,
