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! Note: comments on old entries are closed.

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 :-)] 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. Posted by: Paul on March 8, 2006 11:43 AMfrom IP: 220.239.99.13Paul, I wish no end of success for you.

Last night to a packed auditorium I played the 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. Sally C.

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!

Posted by: MaryS on March 12, 2006 07:00 AMfrom IP: 192.18.101.5Paul, 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.
