Julian2 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Kath & Kim makes US debut KATH & Kim said "look at moi'' and Americans did. The US version of the Aussie show debuted last night to more than seven million viewers. It beat time slot rivals Ugly Betty and the telecast of a crucial baseball game involving the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies in the key ratings demographic. "Nice bow for Kath & Kim," Hollywood trade magazine Variety announced today. This was despite The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, New York Post and most other major US publications writing off Kath & Kim as a disaster. The key ratings barometer in the US is the 18 to 49-year-old demographic. Kath & Kim finished second in its time slot in the demographic, ABC's popular comedy-drama, Ugly Betty, was third and the baseball playoffs on Rupert Murdoch's FOX network fourth. The winner of the time slot was CBS' long-running reality show, Survivor. In what proved to be a smart move, NBC sandwiched Kath & Kim at 8.30pm between its tried and tested sitcoms, My Name is Earl and The Office. e Kath & Kim actually had 360,000 more viewers than My Name is Earl, which drew 7.1 million.

gobbledonk Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Forget about that shite, this is where real Aussie Kulture is at right now ... One man has attacked a police officer with a dildo at the Bathurst 1000 motor racing event while another man has been caught wheeling around a television set showing porn. And both have been thrown out of the major annual racing event, police say. A 22-year-old Moss Vale man was arrested shortly after 10pm (AEDT) on Friday after launching himself at a male police officer sitting inside a police car, hitting him on the head with a sex toy. The officer was not hurt, but the man has been charged with assaulting police. Earlier in the evening, a 35-year-old St Helens Park man was arrested after police found him wheeling around a television set showing porn. "The man had been walking his trolley around a park campsite displaying the material," a police statement said. A search of the man's tent revealed more than 20 pornographic DVDs. The man and his trolley were taken to a police station on Mount Panorama where he was charged with displaying pornographic material. "Camping on the mountain are families with young children and for someone to deliberately walk around displaying pornographic material is completely unacceptable," Assistant Commissioner Lee Shearer said. Both men have been issued with banning notices and are prohibited from returning to the Mount Panorama racing precinct for the remainder of the weekend's event. They have been bailed to appear at Bathurst Local Court on November 10. Just to give non-Aussies some background, the Bathurst track is a mecca for petrolheads (bikes and cars, depending on the event), but the guy taking his TV to the track would be the equivalent of you wheeling one down Sukhumvit - what the f*ck ? Makes me want to start telling people I'm from NZ. :smirk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
