Summer Ratings

The summer has begun in Australia, which means 2004’ss official Ratings Period is over. As such, since Monday many shows (including Home and Away) have been replaced with repeats or summer fillers until the new year.

Summerland, the US import featuring Home and Away’ss very own Ryan Kwanten, was the second watched show last night. It was beaten only by Seven’ss The Great Outdoors. Home and Away’ss replacement, That 70’ss show, was Australia’ss fifth most watched programme.

Here’ss the top five shows from last night, Monday 29th November:

1. The Great Outdoors, Seven, 1.14 (1.60 nationally)
2. Summerland, Ten, 1.12 (1.57 nationally)
3. King of Queens, Nine, 1.02 (1.43 nationally)
4. The 7.30 Report, ABC, 1.01 (1.42 nationally)
5. Law & Order, Ten, 992k (1.39 nationally)
6. That 70’ss Show, Seven, 966k (1.36 nationally)
