Gogglebox Australia

Gogglebox and taskmaster made for a good combo for ten last night ratings wise. Maybe now they have this program to themselves they can extend the seasons, add the celeb versions back in and try to get more out of the brand?

What format do the OS versions follow? Short seasons like ours or are they on year round?

UK does two seasons of 16 episodes, Feb to May and Sep to Dec. This is up from 12 episodes in early seasons.

I was just saying its obvious its an ad but its more believable that Milo would be eating cereal for dinner. They could just have Malek eating it on the coffee table next.

Well done. You can have a job creating storylines for Home and Away.

Surprised the MAFS reunion didn’t get more attention instead of being skipped over at the beginning.

Didn’t deserve anymore, it was boring. I was disappointed we didn’t get to see Sam meeting Holly.

The season 21 finale on April 24 will also be the show’s 200th episode.

the less MAFS on Gogglebox, the better IMO :grin:

channel 10 are running the show now not Foxtel.

MAFS is not on Foxtel either.

For the 200th show tonight there were some short clips looking back at the families.

I’m finding the edit different this year under 10 exclusivity. It’s more humourous and the narrator has more one liners.

On another note that Anastasia looks ridiculous tonight with her excessive fake tan.

I hope the next season will be scheduled better so that it finishes in the final week of ratings survey in late November. It helps that 10 now has the sole rights to the show.

In the show’s 11 year history, only in three occasions did a season ended in November.

I feel like this was definitely a shorter season. Did it run for 6 weeks? And new shows are starting like the Floor. When do we think it wil return? Aus or Sep?

This season had 10 episodes.

The next season should start no earlier than mid September if it is to run to the end of November, assuming it is again 10 episodes.

I’m surprised 10 haven’t extended the runs to get more life out of the brand, even if it was just to 12 eps or add in the odd celeb version.

It’s one of their strongest brands and consistent performers

Just even changing when it airs. People still like it, but its getting stale just reviewing the same reality/observational shows every season…and barely touching australian dramas.
And the fact Neighbours and Home And Away are never reviewed yet each Gogglebox season theres about 100 episodes of soap to choose from.

At least Matt Dalton has relaxed a bit to no longer wearing a shirt and tie while just “casually” watching TV

Is it that unusual? Maybe he just walked in the door from work and sat down for a bit with the family before settling in for the night?

What shows are the buzziest and most watched by Australians.

When Neighbours ended they did review it because that had a general buzz and was talked about.

They have had recent dramas like Last King of the Cross but it’s a lot harder to have them review episode 5 of a drama. They’re only going to make them watch a first episode as a sampler.

Blaming Gogglebox for relying on Reality TV and Factuals when that’s the TV landscape is blaming a symptom.
