House Husbands wins night for Nine but Big Brother fades
Nine’s new drama House Husbands was top rating show yesterday but Big Brother saw a heavy fall on the previous Sunday.
The first episode of the 10-part series House Husbands by production company Playmaker, rated 1.376m across the five city metro market according to preliminary ratings from OzTam.
The show, which aired at 8.30pm, follows four families in which the fathers are stay-at-home dads.
The show also won across all three key advertising demographics.
Meanwhile, Big Brother’s live show, which saw housemate Ryan evicted, rated 949,000, well down on last Sunday’s 1.25m. It was ninth for the night in total people. Across the key demographics the show was third in 16-39 and 18-49 and seventh in 25-54.
House Husbands lasted 8 minutes on my TV. I switched off after a ‘house husband’ chased down, boarded & stopped a school bus that was being driven by a 10 year old.
Are all the TV networks collectively taking the piss out of the aussie viewer??
And then he got done by the police for driving the bus without a license. Ridiculous. The whole premise of the entire show collapsed for me at that point.
That was the worst piece of crap i’ve endured ever. Poor acting, plot is pathetic! Was a great excuse to do some last minute washing.
