It’s more a case of what’s survived and what’s succeeding than anything else – and it’s only week 3 of ratings!

Rev returns for season two – a likeable comedy looking at a country Church of England priest now responsible for a very busy inner-city parish. Josh Thomas’s new six-part sitcom Please Like Me kicks off on Thursday and it’s really enjoyable.

Nine have offered a sensible solution for fans of The Academy Awards – running it live from 11:30am AEST on Monday and then replaying the event from 9:30pm that evening. More of this for big US awards events, please.

After it’s appalling run last week, Glee moves to Tuesdays and to Eleven. Even the shark doesn’t want to sing and dance with the kids of McKinley. Later that evening season six of Californication hits our screens featuring the spectacular Tim Minchin. Excellent.
