Ratings: Even Spidey can’t save Nine from The Rafters
The silk-slinging skills of Spider-Man couln’t save Nine from ratings defeat on Tuesday night, with the network finishing third with a 22.1% share.
The network’s showing of the 2007 Tobey Maguire movie Spider-Man 3 drew an average of only 604,000 viewers, acording to preliminary ratings from OzTam.
The night was dominated by Seven, led by family drama Packed To The Rafters, which rated a metro audience of over 1.8m.
Tuesday’s share:
Im still quite amazed that Two and a half Men still gets the ratings that it does.. Being as it is on about 12 times a week.
It’s a shame 9 has slipped so poorly in the last 2 years. Kerry would be rolling over in his grave. Nine need new programs and not rubbish that they dish up week after week.
Apart from sport, is Two And A Half Men the only hit that Channel Nine has?
Two and Half Men is the only light entertainemnet on free TV in that time slot. The only other things on are Sport, Home and Away, News or the 7pm Project. People who still pine for their nightly dose of comedy watch it as they no longer have access to the Simpsons, Seinfield or Friends 5 times a week as they used to.
I am so over Two and a Half Men. Is that why I’m seldom on 9 now???
Yes, Kerry would be rolling over in his resting place. Nine needs him back to get some guts back into their programming. When ‘he is risen’, Kerry will force ACA and 60 minutes into some real TV journalism, rather than their current insipid infomercials.
Tuesdays are pretty light-on on free to air – Foxtel however rocks. True Blood and The Wire on Tuesdays.
