So for all of us Woodies who had to suffer through an hour of watching a cute green pet dinosaur with the un-original name of Rex flitter about, then had to suffer through the news Sunday that we would have to wait almost a year to see our favorite pet dinosaur Myfanwy again, we can only hope that next weekend will bring better news. To those who disagree, feel free to discuss the merits of Prmeval or Rex in the comments.

And the sad news is that apparently Torchwood will not be showing in Australia :(
(According to recent news article on Outpost Gallifrey)
How could New Zealand pick it up and not australia? Not Happy.
I'm not sure citing a single review in The Herald entitles you to make pronouncements on what 'most' think about either show, particularly when that article doesn't even mention Torchwood.
I enjoyed Primeval, not as good as Torchwood, and no where near as good as Doctor Who... but enjoyable. But ya, Rex is an un-original name. Actually, if you get into semantics neither Myfanwy or Rex are dinosaurs, they aren't part of the Superorder Dinosauria.

This post is just a quick fluff commentary, not intended to be responsible journalism.
But that said, I could find little positive about the show anywhere, there is no need for me to link to tons of reviews as that wouldn't provide any evidence either, you could probably find dozens of negative reviews of Casablanca if you looked hard enough. It's just my opinion plain and simple.
For those who did enjoy the show, great. That's what these comments are for.
I enjoyed it on the whole, but have to relegate it to 'strictly kids stuff'. I will be giving it more of a chance as I really WANT to like it, but I found ALL the characters unlikeable and it struck me as more juvenile than even SJA. My 7 yr old son loved it so that must tell us something
I actually really liked Primeval. I thought it had good characters, Rex was adorable, and it was set in my favourite forest...
I don't think it was as good as Doctor Who, but what is? As for Torchwood, I think comparing them is silly when they're totally different shows for totally different audiences.
And I'm a big fan of SF made for family audiences, which helps.
Emma, please don't get me wrong, I'm just as much of a fan of SF for family audiences and no, nothing will EVER touch Doctor Who. However, Primeval so far to me is Torchwood without the sex, swearing and likeable characters. The first 2 we can live without and I live in hopes for the characters and a second series to give it more of a chance. 6 episodes is not enough.
Yeah, it was okay. I only watched because i heard it was meant to be like TW/DW but it wasn't at all! i found it a bit boring and i didn't get who all the people were but it was still watchable! And it's Hannah from Sclub7! I loved Sclub7 when i was like 10:P xxx
i too really wanted to like this and although i know i shouldn't have i couldn't help comparing primeval to TW. They had an SUV, the leader had a mysterious past and wore a military style jacket, they had a resident "pet", there was the "technical expert" and a "new guy who doesnt really understand" as well as a "cocky one". it was basically TW but for children.
Nice to have someone else agree with me for a change. Haven't seen episode 2 yet, but I've heard it improves drastically. Really looking forward to it now.
