Worrying Wednesday for Big Bang Theory
Nine’s The Big Bang Theory, which was looking like a viable replacement for Two And A Half Men, is showing worrying signs of decline, slipping further beneath the psychologically important million-mark last night.
According to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam, the US sitcom dropped to 0.883m viewers, down from 1m+ just a fortnight ago, and out of the top ten most-watched shows.
Not for the first time, not a single Nine or Ten show recorded more than 1m viewers. Ten’s The Biggest Loser was closest, with 0.978m, and squeezed into the top five.
Seven’s Today Tonight and Nine’s A Current Affair, which were embroiled in a plagiarism scrap this week, both saw ratings slide slightly compared to last week.
The night was Seven’s once again, with 25.9% share.
Wednesday’s top 15 shows:
- My Kitchen Rules Seven 1.333m

Brilliant quirky humour could be beginning to have less bang when oft repeated

Nine have got previous for this.
Millionnaire rated so they stuck it on every signle night. They burnt it out.
Remember when Gordon Ramsay was on three times a week? They soon burnt out Kitchen Nightmares.
Then Two & A Half Men.
Now Big Bang.

No, your problem is that i liked it so much i bought the series online. Why watch it on commercial tv?

They show the episodes out of order and all over the place… And in the USA the season is already over (great season). And here they are just half way.
