Molly telemovie and My Kitchen Rules hand Seven huge start to the official ratings year
Channel Seven dominated the first official ratings night of the year last night with its telemovie Molly – based on the life of Molly Meldrum – pulling 1.793m viewers.
According to OzTam overnight metro ratings My Kitchen Rules at 7pm was the second-most watched show with 1.399m viewers, dominating the 7pm slot and helping the channel to a share of 34.4%.
Rivals reality shows struggled to compete with Nine managing 884,000 for the second episode of Australia’s Got Talent while Ten’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here had its lowest audience so far with 626,000 viewers.
A lot of comments on social about how accurate [or inaccurate] Molly:Part 1 was.
With 1.793M Metro viewers tuning in, that didn’t seem to matter to the masses – only mattered to a handful of ex-music industry people who have nothing better to do than be negative.
Great TV.
Could this be the start of a revival of everything 80s? I hope so. It was a mistake to let the 80s end.
Molly was more 1970s than 80s. His career as music producer and talent scout had ended by 1980.
I missed it, did they include anything from the limo driver’s perspective?
Is this another content opportunity Nine passed on as Molly is currently 7 talent?
mmmmmmmmmm
I thought the Molly drama was pretty terrible. The script assumed that the entire audience knew everything, my poor husband remarked as he struggled to figure out who and what everyone was and did, without the appropriate exposition. I like Sam but he, along with everyone else over acted; they were falling over themselves trying to convince us of the characters.
