Seven’s cat video show nearly doubles Restaurant Revolution audience and wins night

I can see what’s on the agenda now. Out with the cooking and in with the cats:
– MasterPussy
– My Cat Rules
– Hot Cat
– Moggy Revolution

The end.

Oh dear ….! I have nothing more to say on that!!!

Surely this proves the ratings system needs an overhaul..

Cat on a Hot Tin Plate?

A piece of me has just died.

The Hotplate – Straight out of Compton

There is a cooking show called “Compton The Hot Plate”? 🙂 (2nd para)
Would love to see dr dre and ice cube battle it out in the kitchen while laying down some wicked beats. Avoiding too many puns here.

I’m not sure it’s the ratings system that is to blame for awful programming.

“The golden age of TV”

The fact that this is rating is a sure sign of the coming apocalypse.

I think that this just confirms what a lot of people already thought, that TV is for the slow and the weak. 917k is 3.9% of the Australian population, and I think we can safely say that they are not the top 3.9% in any measure of intelligence.

Dare I say it: Modern TV programming is weak as the proverbial feline urine.

First week. Will not rate next wk. how can a program like that sustain an audience

What are the chances next week Nine airs Dogs Make You Laff.

The ratings system needs refining, yes, but this is really more of an indictment on the networks’ decision to give us the ‘same ol same ol’ reality TV nonstop.

It’s cheap to make and profitable to air, but it is getting so very tiresome.

People flicking through the channels would’ve seen ‘Reality… Reality… Reality… Boring… Boring… Boring… OH LOOK CATS!” and left it on.

Spelling Bee lost it’s buzz be lucky to see out the series in prime time. And Hamish was the god of the comeback???

Suffer in ya jocks Jonathon Holmes !

Let’s not over-complicate this. Commercial TV has usually shown a diverse range of programming, but lately it has become obsessed with the same formats in different disguises. It should be no surprise that Cats Make You Laugh worked – the number one reason, it was different to what was shown last week, and the week before, and the week before. It also required no commitment to an entire series.

The only other certainty is that this type of show will now be flogged to death until viewers stop watching.

Australia gets the [xxxxx] it deserves.

Congratulations to Seven on winning this time slot against such quality competition. You and we can be proud.

If recycled cat videos from YouTube can outrank other tv shows, it just demonstrates that television today is a dying medium.

At least cats being stupid is entertaining in a dumb sort of way – which is more than can be said for yet another by-the-numbers cooking contest which is just dumb without the entertainment. Anyway, free to air commercial television in this country is doomed as it continues to flog its never-ending cycle of so called reality – cooking, renovating, dancing, singing, icky dating and blubbering fatties..

thank you for making me laugh.
Humanity has come to an end as we once knew it.

this is some random content that one would expect to see on a foxtel station in amongst all its repeat replays on the other stations.

Doesn’t any station, provider own rights to re play some decent past films – there are so many and it would only require someone with not that high an intelligence to work out good programming and someone to do the clearances. Television in this country as others have stated is a joke.

I watched it with my 85yo ABC viewing mum and she loved it.

As a shrewd advertiser I am better off paying for performance on YouTube than spending a total motsa on traditional networks, no?

From experience when a show does not rate or exceeds expectations from industry pundits, it does not mean the ratings system is stuffed. This country has 1 of the most robust ratings systems indexed around the world. Ask the people at Free TV?.

Its just silly.

I bet that if you took the top ten mindless content categories on Facebook and turned them all into TV shows they would all rate their socks off……just saying.

One other thought – does it say more about the people watching as opposed to the state of the TV industry? And what does it say about the people who waste endless hours of their lives on Facebook?

The reality shows just require too much of a commitment to follow the [contrived] story lines. I did it one year with MKR and found myself interested in the show, but hugely irritated by the number of hours required to ‘commit’ to following the show in its entirety. Not to mention the outrageous amounts of time spent watching crap ads in between. For this reason we now don’t watch any reality TV, it’s just too annoying to miss out on various episodes due to life getting in the way. The cat show sounds like it was fun, requiring zero ongoing commitment. I’ll be watching the funny dogs this Tuesday as well! (Or recording it to zap through it later, minus ads).

New show- celebrity chefs pets.

How about Celebrity Chef’s cook their pets?

Dear Heston Blumenthal could slowly smoke a Beagle, over a thousand menthol cigarettes? He would of course serve it up, disguised as an Opal Card or something ‘crazy’.

I would love to see Matt Preston eat a hamster or perhaps a gerbil?

Bear Grylls could get involved mid series in a cameo (perhaps neck a shot glass of someone’s p1ss)? Predictable I know, but think about the R A T I N G S….

Speaking of hamsters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOCtdw9FG-s

But of course it did. The brain softening effect of the lower depths of YouTube is beginning to show its great power.

I have had to abandon my super show presentation, Watching The Paint Dry, because someone got in before me with Lay It On, Let It Happen.

There are now two freshly painted garage doors going to waste. I breaks my heart .
