 Comedian Mick Molloy’s new TV show The Nation, which airs on the Nine Network, is on struggle street after its ratings hit a new low last night.
On the same day Nine launched Sea Patrol, the most expensive drama in Australian TV history, The Nation returned an audience of 575,000 viewers.
The Nation jokingly gate-crashed the elaborate Sea Patrol launch yesterday on the HMAS Sydney in attempt to drum up support for its own show.
It seems any little bit would have helped.
The paltry audience numbers in the 9.30pm timeslot, where one million viewers is considered a good result, fell even lower than the show’s figures for the past fortnight, which have just topped 600,000 viewers.
Last night’s episode, which featured a spoof of MTV car makeover show Pimp My Ride called Pimp My Coffin, was outrated by All Saints on Seven, Numbers on Ten and most shockingly, Foreign Correspondent and First Tuesday Book Club on the ABC.
Its poor performance also contributed to Nine making a rare appearance in third place overall for the night behind Seven and Ten.Labels: Television |
