Things have been very exciting here over the last couple of weeks! My food show - "The Food Trail" has been recieved very well with great reviews and great audience numbers watching. We have aired three shows so far and won the rating twice. The first show won it's time slot then the second show came in second to the football! Living in a football obsessed town like Melbourne there is no way you are going to outrate the football! Then for the third show we won our time slot again even though channel Nine moved their well rating show "Funniest Home Video's" to go against us!

So all is good with "The Food Trail" It is disappointing though that no one from Channel Seven has spoken to me about the show and how it is doing nor have they given any indication of if they may support the further shooting of more episodes. It is a winner for them - albeit on a smaller level than Dancing With The Stars but still it is a winner and they seem to be ignoring that fact!

The Food Trail is only showing in Victoria at this point in time which also is disappointing. It has proven it has the viewers so I am hoping that Channel 7 will put the show nationally and at a good time slot! I believe that it could attract around the 1.2 - 1.3 million viewers nationally which is a great number and again would be a great figure for the network!

We shot the third show of Dancing With the Stars last night and boy this season has so far rated better than the last three! Last week we had at one point during the show 2.6 million people watching!! That equates to something like 13% of the population of Australia! This is our fourth season and one of the question going in to this season was will it continue to grow or will it fall off. Well so far it has continued to grow!!!Amazing and great for dance. It is shaping up to be another great series. Hope those who can are watching!!!! And of course watching the Food Trail too!

Very, very cool, Paul!!! Your excitement leaps of the computer screen and I'm enjoying it just to be reading about it. Congratulations to you and may the network gurus get with the program!!! [ha after typing it, I noticed that there is even a pun in that phrase :-)]
Fingers and toes crossed for your good luck and great success!

Funnily enough within one and a half hours of posting this post I received a call from Channel Seven congratulating me on the show and saying how they would like for us to make some more!?!?!

Things are looking good.

Paul,
Well done! It's a pity the show doesn't air nationally.
DWTS is still really entertaining, I think.
It's always different because the contestants keep changing, so the dynamic does too.

I wish no end of success for you.

Dearest Paul,

Oh, be still my heart, your news, especially about the call from Channel 7, has me in a Grannie tizzie...your perseverence is paying off, and, pardon me, but DIDN'T WE TELL YOU SO??

Last night to a packed auditorium I played the
"Perhaps" scene to advertise the fact that I was going to show all of SB on March 21. You could hear a pin drop, and I had to contain myself from running up to the screen to embrace you...move over, Fran...

Shalom and Love,

Gran Mil

Goodonya Paul! Your excitement seems to be contagious as I'm feeling butterflies in my stomach for you. How wonderful. Dancing with the Stars is a big hit here in America, too, and doesn't seem to be slowing down, either. Continued success to you.

Do you think they read your post and responded to that? Probably not--just a funny thought on some level! I'm glad they finally did and congrats on making this such a success that they too can't stay away from you and the show !

More congratulations to you and even greater success and happiness for you!

HELLO PC FRIENDS,

PAUL-When will you be opening your own dinner, dance and beer joint? I'd keep the name simple "Paul's Place". This is such impressive news and I'm sure you and your family are just overflowing with joy!! Keep up the great work!!

Hope everyone else here on the Corner is doing well.

HUGS!

Good news Paul! I knew if you just stuck it out, things would go on the upswing for you. Glad to hear that life is good in your neck of the woods.

Well, back to work for me.

Wow Paul. Good work mate! I knew food trail would go great!
If it weren't for you in SB, then I would be failing year 11 Lit =^.^=

Thanx from all the VCE Lit class at BHS, and most importantly, thanks from Koshi

YAAAAAAAAAAY! Good guys don't always finish last. The gods are smiling down on you now and we are all lucky enough to see it happening right before our very eyes!

We all love you so much and feel like all of your sucesses are ours and all of your pains are ours. We know this may not really be the case, but we're so happy to be indulged !!!

I so wish we could all just have a cold one with you to celebrate the good times. More are coming!

Paul,

I read your first and then your second post here, and immediately thought of these words...

"...when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

'The Alchemist' Paulo Coelho

I love the power that lies within these words. And the simplicity of how they express it.

I was so happy to hear of all the good things that are coming your way. I wish you continued success and fulfillment in all that you do. Long may it last.
