Scheduling on thin ice….

Another summer change from TEN sees The Wedge in for one week, and pushed aside by Ice Road Truckers a week later.

Mark it down as change #87 to the TEN summer schedule.

The Wedge is to be pulled from schedule…. sorta….

It’s back for just one night on Saturday December 6th and replaced a week later with a repeat of Ice Road Truckers. Hard to know why it was back in the first place.

The name of the Canadian truckies’ episode is the aptly titled, “Driving on Thin Ice.” Which kinda sums up TEN’s approach to its summer schedule.

Even TV Tonight is pretty confused as to what the hell is on when.

  1. Someone needs to bring back on Full Frontal/ Fast Foward eps! The Wedge is one of the worst shows ever!! I don’t see the point in repeating a show (ice truckers) which has only just aired either. Silly Channel 10!

  2. Exactly, JB. Let ’em tool around in the non-ratings period as much as they want. The only way they’ll ever overcome their problems is with experimentation.

  3. Why are people getting so worked up about these summer scheduling changes? The summer schedule hasn’t even started yet, so what does it matter? There’s nothing wrong with a bit of fine-tuning beforehand.

  4. I’m pretty sure Ten only had a couple of remaining episodes of S2 of The Wedge left (and even Rebel Wilson recently went on record as bagging the show!) and aside from one teenage fan on the IMDB, I honestly doubt anyone cares. The Wedge was the single worst Aussie sketch show ever, and deserves every bad review its ever gotten.

  5. Perhaps they only had one episode of The Wedge to burn off, we can all thank the arcane Australian drama content quotas as the reason that subpar series get 22 episode orders (even after the arse falls out of their ratings) only to be burned off at 10.30 on a Saturday night where hopefully no-one will notice except the Australian Film and Television Producers lobby.

  7. David, are ou sure it is change number #87 ?
    Methinks we need to keep a recod each week to see how bad these network programmers are !
    How can any viewer keep track of this schedule – Had a terrible thought, imagine if network programmers in charge of education system.

  20. I guess TEN woudl call this cutting edge TV, you dont know what is going to be on u ntil u turn on to TEN and see, because what is advertised is not really what they are going to be showing, hell no wonder no one is watching
