I think they are showing the right amount from streaming services. It’s impossible to feature every program from every network, channel, service.

But I will agree with those that have previously mentioned that the same reality shows don’t need to be covered two or three times per season.

I would rather shorter seasons of this with less waiting time. Whether it was 4 seasons of 6 or 3 seasons of 8. I do find I tune into it for the first few weeks but tune out when they start reviewing the same shows.

Why can’t they just go all year?!? The networks always have new content and they could just add more families in so that some could get weeks off or not be in every episode.

Or how about some nostalgia only eps where they watch 80’s sitcoms or 90’s dramas like Melrose and BH90210 or evening specials around Christmas, valentines or halloween where they rate themed shows/movies

I’d also like to see a gogglebox ep when they watch gogglebox

I agree, having it on every week would completely justify and allow for families to take episodes off and also more of an excuse to add new households and will also allow the families to watch as many shows as they can across the entire year.

It works best in small doses. If it was on all year, it would lose its novelty and appeal. I think its current length is the best.

I do think the second season of the year needs to start late, from late September or early October, so it finishes on the last week of November.

First season of the year starts in February as normal. That’s assuming that Foxtel will only have 8-10 episodes for each season.

I think the 15 episodes per season that the UK version currently does is perfect.

I suspect that Gogglebox reviews of those programs would generate pretty similar reactions to those we saw when Doctor Who was reviewed back in 2015. You could imagine Mick & Di lapping up the ABC’s Saturday night British dramas, but the others…🥱!

Yeah, I don’t think anyone’s disputing that.

I’d love to see some a Christmas/New Year special of Gogglebox so coverage of the Carols and fireworks can be teared apart, however casting availability is usually an issue at that time of year.

Of course, it’d also be rather interesting to see how the households would react to Election Night coverage. Hopefully one day the planets will align and we see an Australian federal election day/night coincide with Gogglebox’s time on-air!

> [@Pozpa](#):
>

…should be saved for the final ever episode of the program, I think.

Even though “ratings season” programming is essentially over by mid-November these days? Heck, in recent years we’ve started to see the commercial networks slide into Summer mode after the football grand finals!

Besides, I’d probably say the last two years in particular have brought us some brilliant Gogglebox reviews during August (Love Me As I Am, Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds, the Sophie Delezio ep of Anh’s Brush With Fame are just three standouts that come to mind) which otherwise may not have happened if Gogglebox was off-air at the time because while good shows, they weren’t quite on the same level as something like Love On The Spectrum which was unique enough for the producers to get the households reviewing some 4-5 months after the series originally aired on the ABC.

Is it possible to add another short season of 6-8 episodes during May-July?

Depends on the Goggleboxers too. They might not want to do many more than they already do so you might lose some of them.

A possible sign the Silbery’s may not be returning next year?

Reason why I ponder this question is because Adam & Symon had some level of involvement in Ten’s 2019 Melbourne Cup Carnival coverage, shortly after that their departure from Gogglebox was announced.

It’s the first day that the three got together after lockdown ended. Emmie said it was her first day out of prison and she was on parole. 🤣

They should leave the episodes on a bit longer. I went to watch it around 8 or 9pm last night Qld time and it had already expired.
