Nine's 'True Story with Hamish and Andy'..
At the half-way point of the 2017 ratings year, the Seven, Nine and Ten networks all have something to crow about, and Australian-made dramas and reality shows continue to dominate.
Seven.s primary channel has won the prime-time ratings battle for 24 consecutive weeks, ranks at .No. 1 in total viewers and in the 16-39, 18-49s and 25-54 demographics, and has the year's top show, My Kitchen Rules.
Nine.s boast is that it is the only commercial network to grow its 6 pm-midnight share across total people and all demos for weeks 7 to 26, excluding Easter, while Seven and Ten have lost shares on those metrics.
Despite its corporate problems, Ten says it delivered three of the top seven Australian reality shows among 25 to 54s, the top three game/quiz shows and the top four Us drama series.

Robert De Niro, for one, was intrigued enough to create a division of his production company called Tribeca Interactive to explore the possibilities of the medium. Eric Grundhauser tells the story of that division’s utterly bizarre yet memorable first project in a piece for Atlas Obscura called “Exploring The Last Resort, Robert De Niro’s Forgotten ’90s Adventure Game.” Produced by De Niro and boasting a star-studded voice cast (including Cher, Jim Belushi, Christopher Reeve, Anne Heche, and Ellen DeGeneres), 9: The Last Resort was a highly stylized, wildly artsy, and sometimes nightmarish variation on the classic adventure/puzzle game Myst.
