It's Funny Watching Seven trying to do the ABC {MOLLY}

Topping the Ratings on Sunday night Molly and the sex romp that was Part One did drama proud and beat MKR with a massive 1.7 million viewers turning in for Part One. MKR was a sniff away from 1.4 million viewers coming in second.

So great to see drama beating reality for once. I hope Seven continue to invest in my drama and less reality. However I don't see that happening somehow.

There new drama featuring Seven favourite Rebecca Gibney was a little behind Molly with 1.1 Million viewers being beaten off by Here Come the Habibs, a show drawing a little controversy and free publicity along the way.

The funny thing about Molly is the fact that it's a Channel 7 show showing how uptight the ABC was back when Countdown commenced. The thing is was the ABC really as uptight as they are making out? With Double J launching in 1971 and Countdown in 1974 I am pretty sure the ABC was OK with a bit of Rock n Roll.

I must say the lovely Ben Geurens (I knew this dude in a previous life) is still easy on the eye and it's refreshing seeing Samuel Johnson as a lead again on Australian TV. All in all though it's pretty much drama by the numbers with Seven having past success with the Peter Allen and INXS stories. Who will be next though? That's the question? Will they keep the ABC theme and make a film about Triple J radio legend Richard Kingsmill? Or take on the life of Tony Jones?

Time will tell as with solid ratings and advertising interest in Molly and the previous titles one can only guess that another will be in the pipeline somewhere at Seven.

I will wait and see how Part II is and I will also try and pop something up re: Wanted over the weekend. I also return to the movies (finally) tomorrow AM so look out for a Deadpool review. Unedited!

Bye, Happy Pre V Day!
