  2. Veronica Mars has become another victim to this, thanks to BIG FREAKING BROTHER of all shows. Isn’t 17 hours of it a week enough? Do we need more?

  3. I am annoyed that Seven are not screening the 10th and final season of Stargate SG-1. The longer they delay it the longer the 2 direct to DVD movies being made are probably going to be delayed here!

  4. David, a fair comment about “Joey”!

    I travel to Italy each year for work in December/January, so that explains why I missed the rest of “Joey”. I bought the Season 1 DVD, but have yet to see Season 2 on sale.

    Speaking of DVDs, has anyone seen any for “Will and Grace”?? I was sure they were released, but there’s not a trace of them in this country.

  5. They last showed Joey,during the xams period of 2005/06, as a replacement for A Current affair while it was on a 3 week break. because of the timeslot though they cut a lot of what could have been funny lines. as has been said the last we saw, were the first few eps of season two, but they were shown at 6.30 pm not in the morning.

  6. I think a lot of these shows will return later in the year (around June-August). If not, they’ll probably return in the 2007-08 non-ratings period.

    To one of the anonymous users, OTH is unlikely to return on TEN due to dismal ratings. When they last played it on primetime (on a 6.30pm Saturday slot), its ratings were abysmal, and it only pull around 200,000 viewers.

    To meet the demands of fans, TEN continued to play the show (irregularly) at noon on Saturdays, however it was pulled from the schedule again.

    TEN have absolutely nothing to gain from OTH, which is probably too expensive to play (most likely due to music clearances), so I can’t see it returning anytime soon. Consider buying the DVDs, or watch it on Foxtel.

  7. I’ve added Joey for now, but may think about pulling shows that are actually out of production. I’m more concerned with shows that Aussie networks have pulled when US networks have delivered.

    Further to a question on Farscape, I’ve checked and Nine screened to “Dog with Two Bones” in Jan 2006 as the end of season three, then began repeats from season one again. Although it has yet to air season 4 it doesn’t quite fit being missing in action.

  8. I completely missed “Joey” on weekday mornings! I guess it ventured into “Reba” and “Faith and Hope” territory (i.e. US sitcoms that could never make it in prime time). If only a couple of Season 2 episodes were shown, then it definitely belongs in the MIA box :-). Thanks for the info!

  9. And what about One Tree Hill? Ten has yet to play a whole season of the series and this curse is taking too long, it better return soon.

  11. Joey was never shown in full, was it? They showed the first 10 episodes or so, but then it was taken off and Season 2 never saw the light of day here.

  12. Well Bones can now be added to this list. As i am truly annoyed they give us a double episode and then at the end say “Bones will return later in ’07” Well this show can now be added to this list. In a sense though for this to be sevens first casualty of the season its not that bad

  13. As you suggest Shows being incomplete well here is one for you “Criminal Minds”. Seven didnt complete the first season their were 2 or 3 episodes to go. I realise this show will be back in a 8:30pm slot on 7 later in the year but this show is missing in action as it was incomplete, i want to see the final few episodes

  17. David, it is funny how nine has no timeslot for nip/tuck, but has time to show snip/tuck – miami (a reality show following 2 miami plastic surgeons) at 10.30 on monday nights…!!!

  22. I have just heard that 10 will be showing the 4400 from saturday mornings starting on the 31st at wait for it 4am. Ridiculous if i say so myself it was sunday nights at 11:30 but this is ridiculous

  23. I have no idea. The only time I ever watched KOTH was when I had Foxtel for a brief period around 4 years ago, and I only watched around 2-3 episodes from season 3.

    When they FINALLY started to release the DVDs in Australia, I gave the first season a go, and I’ve been a die-hard fan ever since.

    So no, I have no idea if Seven ever played out a whole season of the show. I remember around 18 months or so ago, Seven played it at 3.00pm weekdays, but I wasn’t home to watch it, or I’d completely forget about it, since I wasn’t really a fan of the show at the time, and I only would have watched out of curiosity.

    And even further back, when Seven had the rights to Futurama, they played it back-to-back with King of the Hill at around midnight once a week. And I think Family Guy was thrown in there too.

    I understand there are a lot of unaired shows out there, but all I’m asking is for Seven to play KOTH at ANY timeslot. I reckon 11.00pm Thursdays after (or before) FG would be great, or if they play it on weekends where most shows don’t rate that well anyway. Or they can play it on Saturday mornings after all that Disney crap.

  24. It’s true KOTH has been off air a long time, but there are far too many shows that have not had all seasons aired in Oz. I’m actually looking to archive shows that have unfinished seasons, ie. pulled off mid-season, as an unsubtle reminder to Programmers that we are waiting for conclusions to the shows they asked us to commit to.

    To be honest KOTH was so long ago even I can’t remember if it played out a full season. As a fan you may be able to clarify?

  25. How about King of the Hill? That show’s been missing for ages, and I’m going crazy waiting for the DVDs to come out. I wish Ten bought the rights to it, they can make the show more popular here like they did with Futurama.
