Married At First Sight pulled in 1.32 million viewers last night. This, along with strong performances by the 6pm news (1.23 million), 6.30 news (1.27 million), and A Current Affair (1.02 million) gave Nine both the night and the week.
Seven and Ten just ran dead (Easter, no ratings is their tired justification).
The ABC won viewers’ hearts with the new series of Old People’s Home For 4-Year-Olds, pulling in 839,000 and placing it 11th nationally. In reality television v reality television, this program shows MAFS up for being a load of nasty confected rubbish that’s as far from humanity as you can imagine.
Seven’s Good Doctor drew in 427,000 from 8.30pm. Almost DOA, diagnosis now, doc!

There is a role for the ACL in the body politic.
Instead of the Morrison government wasting time and money on empathy training for Andrew Laming they can hand him over to the ACL for a bit of conversion therapy.
With those electrodes they used to use on gays the Christian Soldiers can give him a dose of aversion shock treatment while showing him Facebook posts.
In a win win all round the govt can hand over a few million dollars to its mates in line with its usual procurement practices.
A Clockwork Morrison?
