SL65, were you loyal to TG or were you watching two and a half men?

Foxtel IQ baby, the best of both worlds

You probably could get one of the smashed ones for less then that.

Then all you'd have to do is take it to a panel beater and voila, your own Veyron.

[stiggie]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Two and a Half Men really is a terrible predictable piece of shit sitcom. Its like Zoo magazine, you feel stupider after viewing.

Not at my house. I always make sure everyone in the house is logged on as watching it every week to keep the ratings up.
I have added an "extra mystery viewer" to TGAUS a couple of times too....

I hate to say this, but I thought that the current season of Two and a Half Men is still a bit more enjoyable than the last episode of TGA. I just thought it was a bit bland and boring. It's probably because I didn't really agree with what the presenters thought about the cars that were tested.

You really have a ratings box?? How the hell did you get one?

Australian's are generally lazy and most don't even watch SBS because they haven't tuned it in, or never surf the TV staions other than 10,9 & 7. My mother and father inlaw have never bothered to tune in SBS, and they watch a huge amount of TV.

They rang our house and asked if we wanted to do it. So we did.
There's a seperate box for each tv we have, and whenever we are watching we have to log in using a remote. And if someone visits and is watching too, you log them in as well. Not much to it.
Was a bit hard at first remembering to log in, and then remembering to log out when you get up. But we're used to it now.
I like to think we're making a difference somehow..... no ratings for 2.5 Men for a start!

That's because the reception is so shit in most places, i have to move my antenna (no point for the roof mounted aerial in my room so I use rabbit ears) to a point where it picks up SBS and nothing else.

Same here. Good 'ol rabbit ears....

Episode 6 was really good. I hope the ratings haven't gone down again.

1x06 - 653,000!

Quite a lot of that has to do with Seven showing The Rich List:
TWO AND A HALF MEN/TIL DEATH Nine 1,148,500
THE RICH LIST - MON Seven 966,000
AUSTRALIAN IDOL - THE LIVE VERDICT Ten 965,000
AUSTRALIAN STORY/THE 7:30 REPORT ABC1 942,000
TOP GEAR AUSTRALIA SBS 653,000

But it's still an increase in ratings, and this episode deserved it.

[logifuse]

At least people have had another look, & being a good episode, it might bring them back next week.

[tone76]

1x06 should surely win some new converts. Wazza taking a dump has to be worth an extra 200,000 watchers in itself, mainly from Two And A Half Men, I suspect.

[stiggie]

And the clip of next week's episode with the Tiger gunship helicopter should have a few of last night's extra viewers thinking about tuning in again next week.

[ykickamoocow]

The Monday 7:30pm time slot is a very tough one as it is up against some very high rating shows. Maybe SBS should consider moving Top Gear Australia to Tuesday 7:30pm instead as that would be a much friendlier time slot.

[stiggie]

There is no point moving it now. There are only two more episodes left and then we go straight into series 11 of UK TopGear.
