How did channel 9 beat 10?
House UNDERRATED!

Quoted from Dara

How did channel 9 beat 10?
House UNDERRATED!

How the hell did ten manage to rate? Perhaps 2010 will be the end of reality TV. "At an end your rule is, and not short enough was it."

Interesting they counted House has two episodes since it was written and aired as a movie length premiere episode. They are in trouble if that's all it could get given it's mostly downhill from their!

Look at the top 10 though, Channel TEN did better than 9. Anyway House was meant to be excellent so TEN deserved to beat Channel 9, who had.. nothing on? Obviously everything rated lower due to tennis.
I won't be sad if all the dancing/singing/cooking crap gets axed. Just air Britain's got Talent.

Looks like the difference is between GO and ONE  

Quoted from Dara

Pfft tennis. I'm with Homer Simpson on that one

DO NOT get the appeal of top gear, nine are going to have it on three times a week between both channels so hopefully it will "Ramsay" itself.

I don't get its appeal either. But everyone seems to wet themselves over it  

3 times a week??!! OMG!!!  

Yeah when my cousin visited everyone watched Top Gear, so I did... it was pretty much boring.

I used to love watching it on SBS.........with only a couple of ads........
I refuse to watch it now with 4 min show, 5 min ads...........

mmm...don't know what happened to Week 9

Ughhh... 2 & 1/2 Men... how does it do it, its surely one of the worst shows on TV  

Quoted from 122

Ughhh... 2 & 1/2 Men... how does it do it, its surely one of the worst shows on TV  

But one hell of a lot more entertaining than watching people cook. WTF is it with cooking shows?

I know I was about to say that! My Kitchen Rules, what?
The entire top 10 is awful

No Dara, NCIS is cool!!

Yesh! And it's really the little show that's finally come strong in the US
