I weep for the nation. An episode of The Big Bang Theory (1st – 1,369,000) not only outrates the news but is the number one program for the night. Shudder.
Arrow (3rd – 1,318,000) has a great launch, ahead of Criminal Minds (15th – 735,000), Mr & Mrs Murder and the ABC1 double of QI (19th – 673,000) and Tractor Monkeys/. Foxtel gave us all a lesson in drama launches last night with Wentworth (1st – 220,000) running on three channels as well as their +2 variants to give a large first night total.

6:00pm: Nine News – Ch9
6:30pm: Today Tonight – Ch7
7:00pm: The Big Bang Theory (rpt) – Ch9
