Californication stays put

Who says Programmers never hear your pleas?

Who says your pleas are never heard?

TEN has made an amendment (yes to summer again) that keeps Californication in schedule for now.

It will remain on Sunday nights, 10:50pm this Sunday, and 10:40pm December 7th. Beyond that is yet to be announced, but this move is an encouraging sign.

Readers on this site were unhappy that TEN had seemingly dropped the Showtime drama from its Sunday line-up.

And Seven has also responded to pressure for a better timeslot for 24: Redemption. It has moved forward an hour to 8:30pm Friday December 5 instead of 9:30pm. We’d all like a better weeknight than this, but at least a little people power has seen some change!

Keep the suggestions comin’ guys!

  2. Jed, while i like californication, it’s not the best show on tv.. actually maybe it is on aussie tv these days…, however It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the funniest series around these days. Latest season has been amazing.

  3. Easily the best show on tv at the moment Californication, however if the tools at Seven brought back It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which was a late 11.30 on Sundays it would be second. So glad to hear that it will continue its run such a die hard fan I’m also happy that there is crap on before hand so I can sleep until it comes on then it a clean run with the Office, which I think should be in a 7 o’clock timeslot, great great shows, it’s funny how Ten hide their best programming late at night and bombard us with crap in primetime, oh Ten Ten Ten no wonder you rate third seriously…

  4. It’s a bloody half-hour show. I don’t see what the problem was in the first place? They have billions of repeats and they don’t want to show this once a week? I’m glad they decided against it but for how long?

  5. Here’s a suggestion – junk the overplayed movies on Sunday nights and slot in Smallville and 8.30 and 90210 at 9.30 (90210 performed very poorly but that was as much a factor of poor promotion and terrible lead-in)

  8. i’d like to see smallville season 8 back on, 10HD’s sci-fi thursday used to consist of 4 shows with first run episodes and now it is down to only 2 and one of those is the x-files which is very old yet has the prime 8:30pm slot. please show us the first half of smallville before 10HD no longer exists, and who knows they might even be able to get the 2nd half in before ONE starts.

    also since 9 is selling off shows why don’t they give moonlight, primeval and terminator the sarah connor chronicles to either 10 or 7 so they can actually be aired this summer coz it seems 9 isn’t going to deliver.

  9. Excellent news! Now if only we could convince Network TEN to continue along with House and Life. Just because it’s summer doesn’t necessarily mean people aren’t watching TV! Oh well. Wishful thinking, can’t have it all I guess. I wouldn’t be surprised though if they find that the ratings next season are slightly down for certain programs because of people downloading programs from the net.

  18. “Any chance that channel nine will air the last 2 episodes of the Mentalist for this year tonight and next week?”
    Unlikely as it’s rating to good to waste on non rating weeks.

    “Or do I have to obtain them elsewhere?”
    Looks like it.

    Thanks for the new David, now we just need news that 90210 is moving to Fridays where it should have been for the last month!

  19. Well there are only four episodes left in the entire second season of Californication, so it seems pretty stupid to stop airing them at this point. Then again, look what Seven did with Heroes last season…

  20. thank you Ten.
    I will watch Californication – now that you are certain to keep it at that time.
    So therefore your sponsors/advertisers have a chance of getting my business.
    Seven- you too have chance of me buying from your sponsorsas I will give 24 Redemption a go.
    See networks, that is how it works, you look after Joe Public and we look after you
    P.S. David, keep up the info and programme changes and let’s see if genuine people power wins out over nonsensical network changes.

  22. I am really enjoying the second season.

    I find it very different from other dramas. It is not a “crime of the week” show. Or a serial with lots of cliffhangers.

    It is a fun relaxed show where I enjoy spending time with the characters.

  24. 8:40pm Sunday Night Movie – School Of Rock
    why o why must we always see this movie every so often
    if its not that: About A Boy, Mean Girls, Gladiator
    or Jumanji is on..I think these movies are on a repeat
    button or something like that. Ugh I really hate these
    repetitive movies, time to change the tape 10
    roll in better and exciting ones, not the same ones
    over and over again.

  25. I would still like to see TEN continue their late Sunday night lineup with Californication followed by The Daily Show followed by The Office. That was a perfect lat night lineup for me on a Sunday.
