TV Guide for week ending 25/02/12

Essie Davis as Phyrne Fisher

What a first week of ratings. Channel 7 sees Revenge & My Kitchen Rules both rating through the roof. Excess Baggage falls through the floor on GO!, while dependables like Sherlock and CSI don't break one million - the ODI Cricket providing the only relief for the network. The Biggest Loser Australia rates lower than The Renovators did and is seen as a "success". Everything's crazy, but you can depend on Revenge and MKR delivering again for Ch7 this week. MOLK PICKS Sunday Night - Sun 6:30pm, Ch7 Young Talent Time - Sun 6:30pm, Ch10 Video Killed The Radio Star - Sun 7pm, ABC2 Border Security - Sun 7:30pm, Ch7 Modern Family - … [Read more...]

IT'S RATINGS TIME, BABY!!! We've already got one casualty for the year already and there's sure to be more quickly. Lots of shows that have been sizzled for weeks during sporting fixtures about to drop, and we start to settle into some form or order. The week is looking fairly packed, though not everything is for everyone, independent of what the networks would have you believe. PVR's at the ready... and GO! MOLK PICKS Sunday Night - Sun 6:30pm, Ch7 Young Talent Time - Sun 6:30pm, Ch10 Video Killed The Radio Star (???) - Sun 7pm, ABC2 Grand Designs - Sun 7:30pm, ABC1 Border Security - Sun 7:30pm, Ch7 Modern Family - Sun … [Read more...]

Outland

Can you tell it's the last week of the summer non-ratings period? No? Neither can the programmers at the networks, to be fair, though the best indication is that the ABC bring back a host of their regular programming in the week before the ratings season starts proper - so here we are. There's a dribble of additional Ch10 shows returning, but still no sign of a proper schedule from Ch9... because the cricket is still in the way, which rates pretty good, though the other networks get the jump of forming viewer habits with their shows. MOLK PICKS Sunday Night (series return) - Sun 6:30pm, Ch7 Young Talent Time - Sun 6:30pm, … [Read more...]

At least 16 new or returning shows this week, and with the tennis finally getting out of the way we can start to see how some shows get to line up head-to-head. With The Biggest Loser struggling last week and now meeting Excess Baggage directly at 7pm, with both crossing over at 7:30pm to compete with My Kitchen Rules it a reality-fest we've not seen from the commercial networks before. Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war... MOLK PICKS Young Talent Time - Sun 6:30pm, Ch10 Video Killed The Radio Star - Sun 7pm, ABC2 Grand Designs - Sun 7:30pm, ABC1 60 Minutes - Sun 7:30pm, Ch9 Modern Family - Sun 7:30pm, Ch10 New Girl - … [Read more...]

The finals week of the Australian Open. Channel 10's Super Sunday. Home and Away returns to our screens. I guess two out of three ain't bad. Welcome to week four of 2012 and still three weeks out from the start of the ratings season proper - with it comes the start of Ch10's new programming strategy and all the joy of new shows, returning series, and some networks flat out struggling to keep up (eh, Channel 9?). Over the next few weeks everybody starts back up: some with hands forced; some sticking to the schedule as planned. Welcome to 2012 indeed. MOLK PICKS The Project - Sun 6pm, Ch10 Young Talent Time (series return) - Sun … [Read more...]

Here we are, preparing for a whole raft of new shows to launch 3 weeks ahead of schedule. So this week there's shows finishing... it feels like television purgatory. What's better is that in Channel 10 forcing the hands of all the other networks by launching early it means the others have to follow suit. Delicious. MOLK PICKS Video Killed The Radio Star - Sun 7pm, ABC2 Grand Designs (series return) - Sun 7:30pm, ABC1 60 Minutes - Sun 7:30pm, Ch9 Dragon's Den - Sun 7:35pm, ABC2 MOVIE: Balibo - Sun 8:30pm, ABC1 Once Upon A Time In Cabramatta (part 2 of 3) - Sun 8:30pm, SBS one/two Terra Nova (season finale) - Sun 8:30pm, … [Read more...]

Once Upon A Time In Cabramatta

If you watch nothing else this week - and there is quite a bit on, what with Flood anniversary pieces and the Cricket and Tennis and so forth - tune on Thursday night to see Kevin Costner and Andy Garcia's first ever film performances, with ONE screening The Untouchables at 8:30pm. It's brilliant, and Robert De Niro & Sean Connery's performances only add to the drama. Spectacular film score from Ennio Morricone... it's my favourite film of all time. ENJOY! MOLK PICKS The Flood of 2011 - Sun 4pm, Ch7 Qld Floods: One Year On - Sun 6:30pm, Ch9 Video Killed The Radio Star - Sun 7pm, ABC2 60 Minutes - Sun 7:30pm, Ch9 Dragon's Den - … [Read more...]

Jamie Hyneman & Adam Savage - Mythbusters

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's bright, it's shiny, and all those promos talking about new programs coming in 2012 means we'll hopefully see them this year (we're all looking at you, Episodes). Nonetheless the first week of the year has brought with it some new offerings and some good repeats of existing shows. There's also two Tennis tournaments (ONE and 7Two) and the Cricket (Ch9) so summer finally pays off for sporting fans too. MOLK PICKS David Attenborough's Madagascar - Sun 6:30pm, Ch9 Video Killed The Radio Star (Duran Duran) - Sun 7pm, ABC2 The Videos That Shaped The 80's - Sun 7:30pm, ABC2 60 Minutes - Sun 7:30pm, Ch9 MOVIE: … [Read more...]
