Seven will finally premiere Eli Stone in Australia as part of its summer line-up.

The US drama by Greg Berlanti (Brothers and Sisters, Dirty Sexy Money, Everwood) features Jonny Lee Miller as an attorney with an inoperable brain aneurysm -and a bit of a fixation with the catalogue of George Michael. Each episode is named after a Michael song, and the pop star even makes an appearance during one of the fantasy sequences, incorporated as one of Stone’s hallucinations.

Seven will also premiere British crime drama Holby Blue and (gasp) American Gladiators.

Scrubs will move to a new slot 10:30pm Mondays from December 1st (it isn’t clear how many eps), followed by the return of the American Kath & Kim at 11pm. The Rich List remains in its Monday timeslot.

The Amazing Race, Heroes, The Unit and Prison Break will continue (the latter to become twice weekly).

Ugly Betty will be back and Las Vegas fans will be pleased to hear of its return with “The Burning Bedouin” (Series 4 episode 14).

The short-lived US dance series Dance Machine is also in Seven’s line-up.

Better Homes and Gardens will move into a summer highlights series.

More shows are yet to be revealed….

  1. Rutzie, you are right, Home & Away usually returns in early Jan and is almost always on while the Tennis is on. Usually once a year the tennis goes over time, so they have to fit in the missed half somewhere. Either making one episode go for an hour of have one ep shown on Saturday.

  2. Finally something to get excited about…..Eli Stone! Please don’t put According To Jim on in an attempt to capture 2.5men audience. They wouldn’t have the same audience anyway. 1 is good (not great) and the other is BAD (up there in the same calibre as My Big Fat Greek Life).

  6. As sad as it is, I wouldn’t mind checking out American Gladiators, I’ve only ever watched a few clips here and there on youtube. I hope Reaper gets a run and Ugly Betty is put back at 730 where is belongs. I also hope Lipstick Jungle gets played out I enjoyed the first series and with the show now axed who’s it going to hurt.

  11. yeh, any guesses for the 7:00?
    i hope they do Earl reruns the first 2 seasons were great – and to my knowledge havn’t done any reruns yet. or maybe how i met your mother, or maybe thats where reaper is going. gawd i hope they don’t do something like a factual

    does anyone remenber if the 7:00 show continiues through the Aus open?

    i know that people are against reruns but i would rather watch a good show again than some of the crap new stuff that appears. I hope 7 puts reruns of 30rock, boston, and PTTR in prime time.

  14. Can’t wait for the return of Ugly Betty and Las Vegas, two of my favourite shows, although I am sad to hear that season 5 of Las Vegas (which finished in the US six months ago) was the last.
    I will continue watching TAR as well.

  16. It’s irritating that they’ve put US Kath & Kim on so late. They’re just not prepared to give it a chance are they. Happy for the return of Prison Break & Ugly Betty.
