The launch of Seven's new male oriented channel, 7MATE has paid quick dividends, comparative to Nine's new female oriented channel, GEM.

Last week's ratings gave 7MATE a 2.8% audience share, compared with GEM's 2.3%. Go! still holds a 5.8% audience share.

Each program's top rated show last week (with overall, across all channels, weekly ranking)

Go! - The Big Bang Theory; ranked 24th overall, with 410,000 viewers nationally
7MATE - Scrubs, ranked 43rd overall, 162,000 viewers
GEM - The Time Machine, ranked 50th, 99,000 viewers

Interestingly, repeats of Starsky and Hutch for 7MATE ranked at 49th

LOL, why would anyone think about buying a 3D tv when there's hardly any HD content, let alone 3D content around?

Doesn't make a lot of sense does it Dedja? Yet they are "walking out the door."

What amazes me about 3D TV was that it was tried and failed in the '80's (there's a YouTube clip of a movie Channel 7 showed in 3D in the '80's), so what makes them think it'll succeed this time?

IMO 3D is overrated. I saw Toy Story 3 in both 3D and 2D and actually enjoyed it more in 2D than in 3D.

Was actually a bit annoyed that I'd spend extra money to watch it in 3D, really wasn't worth it.

I'm in the market for a new TV in the next couple of months and the annoying thing is it seems that most new tv's come standard with it. I really don't want it.

Channel Ten's new digital station, Eleven, launches January 11.

"Neighbours" will be shifting here and leaving Ten, along with both new and repeat episodes of "The Simpsons", "Futurama", "The Cleveland Show" (Family Guy spinoff) and many others.

Some of the repeats screening here include Frasier, Happy Days, Family Ties (finally!), Cheers, Becker, Get Smart, Hogan's Heroes, Roseanne and The Brady Bunch.

Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson will be debuting on Eleven as well. Good to see with Conan on Gem and of course Letterman on Ten the FTA channels are starting to show some decent US late night chat shows. Just waiting for the Jimmy Kimmel & Jimmy Fallon shows to be picked up by a FTA channel now.

Family Ties (finally!)

There was a kangaroo...in my living room...

Gold!

x3 That was the same for me with Jackass 3. I would of preferred for it to be in 2D as I'm not really a huge fan of the whole 3D thing, mainly because of the strain it puts on your eyes.

After seeing it, my eyes were quite sore the next day and my mates were complaining about headaches and sore eyes after seeing it aswell. I've also talked to a few about watching 3D movies and most of them have complained about having saw eyes and headaches after watching a movie in 3D.

I've also heard that you can only watch 3D TV for no more than 2-3 hours because it can be bad for your eyes.

[Magpiespower]

3D TV sales nowhere near what retailers expected.

Got their fingers crossed for 'smart TV' now.

But they've already conceded that application programmers/developers will be the one's making the most coin from that...

I saw that a few months ago as well - 90% of the movie was 2D anyway and 3D bits were nothing to write home about.

someone was telling me the other day as well that a certain percentage of the population (it was around one in ten people) cant watch 3d anyway. something to do with their eyes (not necessarily bad eyesight) means that all they get is a blur. if everything went to 3d it would automatically rule out a big portion of the audience.

ill get interested in 3d when you dont have to wear the glasses to watch it (and therefore not have to buy several pairs at $$$ a pop...)

Eleven's initial program guide is fairly hard to find, but Family Ties looks set to screen at 6pm nightly. Neighbours to retain its 6.30pm slot. Everybody Loves Raymond ( ) at 7pm, with The Simpsons, Futurama, King Of The Hill and The Cleveland Show following most nights.

MacGyver at 2pm daily, Roseanne at 3pm, Mork and Mindy 4pm, Happy Days 5pm, The Brady Bunch at 5.30pm.

I watched that horror remake My Bloody Valentine with the 3D glasses not that long ago and aside from the 3D being crap (except for one decent part) one of my eyes (always your strongest eye) was starting to hurt about half an hour in. I stopped the movie and went in the bathroom to have a look and both of my eyes were totally bloodshot. One of them was almost pink. I ended up watching the rest of the movie in 2D.

I have a lazy eye and the older style 3D was impossible for me to watch while the new one isn't a problem (same for smac jr). Never experienced the sore eyes/bloodshot eyes/headaches issues others mention either, but will certainly watch the kids closely next time we head to watch a 3D fillum.

Does anyone know when Supernatural starts on Eleven? I've looked in the TV guide for it but can't seem to find when it's on.
