   House has just gone huge in the States. It has always done well but the ratings have just gone through the roof. I don’t know if it has anything to do with an increase in the quality of the program or a particular story arc. Will be interesting to see if the same happens here.

   When was the last time a drama (ie not reality/game show or sporting event/ceremony) program rated this highly in Australia? Drama debut?

   What are the chances of Seven airing several “encore” presentations? Pretty high I’m betting.

   I loved Heroes, I never usually watch Drama shows but this may of hooked me.

   MoBo – Desperate Housewives and Lost were both pretty high, well above the 2 Mil mark. And Prison Break. Look for the encore Tuesday.

   Can’t say enough good stuff about Heroes.

   Will be interesting to see what happens with House though… God, medical dramas, hey? Can’t live with them, can’t beat them to death with a stick.

   Bugger I missed it. Did they cut the moment when Clair stuck her hand in the blender ??

   Woah. That list surprises me, not least of all because I haven’t heard of a few of them. What the hell is a Jesse?

8. Ross February 5th, 2007 at 10:12 pm

   Great list isn’t it? About what 19 of them are garbage.

   Just Kidding (9) 2.064 – That must be a joke.

   Australian Survivor (9) 1.929

   Wow! Then again I guess that was back in the heyday of Survivor. That must be the US version which was shot in Australia surely.

   Wonder what House got when it first premiered here ?

    What a wacky list. People are weird.

    @Mobo:
    From memory, I think Jesse was that thing with Christina Applegate about her being a hot, single mum, working in a diner with an overprotective father…

    @Mark:
    Nope – that would have been the all Aussie version that no one thought to keep watching after the first few eps. The US one would have been titled Survivor: The Australian Outback – which was season 2.

12. Ross February 8th, 2007 at 8:29 am

    I think that first ep of Aus Survivor was enough for most people. When they had the first immunity challenge which neither team could actually finish – complete balls up.

    The series got a little better towards the end, but I am pretty sure I was the only one watching by then.
