Packed in Front of Our Television Screens

Last night Packed to the Rafters aired for the second time on Australian television. The majority of new shows peek at their first episode then slowly decrease to find a solid audience. Packed to the Rafters which last week premiered with 1.945 million viewers this week increased with 2.045 million viewers. That’s an increase of 100 thousand viewers and a huge boost to Australian television drama. I think it’s official, Packed to the Rafters is an Australian hit. 22 episodes have been filmed for the first season.
Meanwhile Rush premiered on Ten last night at 9:30 following Ten’s popular US crime drama NCIS. It’s opening numbers were solid with 1.61 million viewers. As long as it can keep those solid numbers for the rest of the season it too should be an Aussie hit.
