    Good ratings for Home Alone 2, bad ratings for 3 News.

  • reece_555

    Its great that such a classic movie rated so well, but your right about 3 news and even worse for Modern Family.

  • ell

    Astounding ratings for Home Alone 2…though everyone was talking about it on Twitter last night. Seemed to be a real nostaligia fix. Unsurprising for 3 News…younger viewers are out etc in the week up to Christmas and the news doesn’t go on. Case in point – Home and Away falling right away.
