  1. The only thing worth watching on TV on a Tuesday night is Crime Investigation Australia which by the way has rated it’s backside off for the network and now some idiot has apparantly decided to pull the show next week in favour of ‘another’ overseas production…WHAT IN GODS NAME ARE THEY THINKING!!!!!

  4. Two people told me separately today that they had heard that ER was coming back next week. They sounded quite confident and had heard or read it somewhere.

    Any news?

  7. Looking at the number of shows that have been put back on the shelf we could have a another tv station just to show these. My bet is they would rate through the roof. Perhaps Y&R and The Apprentice could be recalled from Foxtel too.

    I just wonder how sensitive they are to ratings these days. By that I mean, how long do they give a show in its current series before they panic and pull it off the air if no. of viewers drop SLIGHTLY. In general, people lead muchbusier lives these days. It is not uncommon for us to be out and record our favourite shows – which of course don’t impact on ratings because you can FF throught he ads.

    Surely they need to revamp the technology used to collect ratings data and adjust thir expectations.

  9. Is The Wedge gone from 10 on Sunday nights? We spoke with Katrina Mathers after the first episode aired, who told us the later timeslot was sprung on them a bit, not long before the season started.

    Of course, it was the 14-year-olds who were sustaining the ratings in the previous season, who may have been precluded from viewing after Rove on Sundays – starting anywhere after 9:40pm (later with Idol on).

  12. I want to see the rest of 7th Heaven! I’m pretty sure they were a few eps into the 11th season when it was taken off earlier this year.
    I also want to see Judging Amy.

  13. I believe some episodes of My Name Is Earl are M rated, so Seven are probably having trouble trying to find those episodes a suitable timeslot, although I could be wrong as I don’t watch the show.

    Headland was cancelled AGES ago, and Seven had never gotten around to airing the remaining episodes of the series, although I’ve heard that the series has aired in its entirety in the UK.

    I think Everybody Hates Chris is being saved for the summer non-ratings period, but we’ll see how it pans out. Either way, the first season will be released on DVD soon if you want to check it out.

  14. i miss monk…..
    but what i really hate is the fact that my name is earl episodes are shown out of order!!! if seven can play how i met your mother in the right order why not earl?

  16. I wish everybody would stop whinging about Veronica Mars. It WILL be back. Just five it another month or two when Big Brother finishes. I can understand why TEN would play Up-late in favour of Veronica Mars as it’s a LOT cheaper to produce, and it probably rates higher too. And I have no doubt in my mind that TEN will bring it back after Big Brother to Fridays. It’s the only timeslot where it can pull decent ratings (where it rates at around 400,000).

    And I’m completely aware that KOTH has survived 11 seasons, and I couldn’t be happier. I just watched the first two episodes of season 11 (and I’ve downloaded the next 3), and coming from somebody who has only seen a couple of episodes from seasons 4-10, I’m thrilled that the show is still going strong after all these years. The first couple of season 11 eps weren’t nearly as funny as some of the earlier eps, but they were still really entertaining, and they had their fair share of laughs. Long live the King! 😀 Can’t wait for season 4 which will be released this coming Wednesday. w00t w00t 😀

    It’s about time Ten brought back The Office. They should play it after Rove instead of reruns of the dreadfully unfunny Real Stories.

  17. Veronica Mars was pulled off air a few episodes after the beginning of season three. Instead, they play Big Brother, Jericho and a repeated movie everyone’s seen a thousand times already! When’s it coming back? If it IS coming back considering it was cancelled in the US. Grrr!

  18. Just to answer a question asked a while ago-KOTH is in fact still going strong in the US -it’s up to season 11 at the moment.
    I have pretty much given up hope that the aussie networks will get their act together-we get far too many unfinished show . A classic example to me was the West Wing I started buying the overseas DVDs after Nine stopped screeing it & Warners decided not to release anymore DVDs after Season 5 . It was good to see that ABC at least completed screening the show.

  24. Sorry if this was mentioned elsewhere,even though the season I am speaking about(season 5)is now out on dvd, what is nine going to do with the last 5 episodes of season 5 of Curb Your Enthusiasm(a show nine has not treated too well) It is getting up towards 8 months since they last showed it(Sept or Oct 2006).
    Are they ever going to show the last 5 episodes of season 5(I believe there is going to be a 6th season of CYE, I would hate to imagine when nine would show this,if at all).

  25. Just archiving shows pulled off mid-season here. there are too many shows That haven’t had all seasons aired. This is my “you started it, you finish it” reminder!
