Now that we’re into the 2013 ratings season, there’s only a few surprises left… like SHAUN MICALLEF WEEK!!! He’s back on both ABC1 this Wednesday with a new series of Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell, and followed on Channel 10 by his new series Mr and Mrs Murder. Television’s comedic bliss.

Tuesday night sees the return of Margaret & David for the year with a new season of At The Movies, which they’re sure to disagree about.

SBS are broadcasting the TropFest 2013 judging on Sunday night not too long after it airs in real time… so it’s kinda live, but still a great initiative.

This week the My Kitchen Rules gatecrashers throw the cat amongst the pigeons on Channel 7, and they premiere their new “mini series” (read: we have only 13 eps of a series that was cancelled after season one) Last Resort and it’s pretty good, but given it’s finite already is it worth the investment?

Apart from The Block All Stars the best Channel 9 have to offer is a scintillating interview by Liz Hayes with Matthew Newton on 60 Minutes on Sunday night.

Fans of The Good Wife will be pleased to know that the series returns this week with new episodes too (finally).
