Wilfred whimpers, solid finale for Go Back To Where You Came From
The US version of Wilfred, the Australian comedy about a man in a dogsuit, failed to make it into the top fifty most-watched shows last night, pulling in 202,000 in the 9.30pm slot on digital channel Eleven, according to preliminary metro ratings from OzTam.
The follow-up show to SBS’ hit doco Go Back To Where You Came From – on which self-confessed racist Raquel Moore admitted to being hounded by “Bogan” and “Westie” comments on the SBS website – held its audience fairly well. It pulled in 516,000, although this was the lowest audience of the four episodes, which peaked at 600,000 last Thursday night.
Just 50,000 viewers separated the most-watched and number two show of the night, with Ten’s Masterchef on top with 1.688m followed by 1.638m for Seven’s Australia’s Got Talent.
australia’s got talent got 1.6m viewers?
shame australia, shame.
I dont know why they didnt turn in for Wilfred- I did, and I thought it was just as good as the original.. Its just weird seeing Frodo smoke weed and talk to a man in a dog suit.
Shouldn’t that be “Australia’s Got Talent?”
Anywho the usual Wilfred audience were probably couldn’t bring themselves to tune to the Gina Rhinestone Bolt Hole Channel – at least not after having watched the Go Back chat
re: Wilfred. 202k is probably not too pale a result considering it is a US remake of a show that was probably getting the same (if not lower) numbers on SBS. In terms of Eleven, how does 202k compare to the timeslot’s previous performance?
