The ace up TV One’s scheduling sleeve, Dynamo: Magician Impossible, proved less spellbinding than The Block NZ on Monday.

TV2’s HD sitcoms took a hammering, with The Middle averaging 6.0% – 10.0% and Suburgatory, 4.5% – 7.6%.

The Block NZ set up the rest of the night for TV3, with its re-run of Eagle Eye averaging an unbeatable 6.2% – 11.0%.
