Everybody try not to look surprised.

Summer on TEN just changed again and guess what’s gone?

TV Tonight‘s tip (this morning) that 90210 wouldn’t secure its 7:30pm Sunday slot has proven fortuitous.

TEN has adjusted this Sunday November 30th as follows:
Updated

6:30pm Thank God You’re Here (season final)
7:40pm Don’t Forget The Lyrics
8:40pm Sunday Night Movie – School Of Rock
10:50pm Californication
11:25pm The Office
11:55pm Sunday Late Night Movie – Planes Trains & Automobiles

That also pushes out America’s Next Top Model, but it is set to start a week later at 6:30pm Sunday Dec 7 followed by more Don’t Forget The Lyrics. That leaves Wayne Brady’s game show set to air twice weekly.

Last night 90210 had a lousy 408,000* viewers (last in its timeslot) effectively leaving TEN no choice but to drop it from 7:30 Sundays -arguably the most profile slot of the week.

Many will argue that TEN has nobody but itself to blame here, dropping the show into last night’s schedule with limited advance promotion time, and pulling it the first time around leaving it ripe for downloads by fans who were keen to stick with it.

As of now the show no longer has a timeslot on TEN. Whether it moves to TEN HD at some point (or NEXT summer?) remains to be seen.

  1. channel ten. you are the worst of all channels.
    90210 is a great show.
    it ma not have been at it’s best last night.
    but u didn’t give it a chance.
    no advertising.
    ugh. i can’t stand free to air anymore.
    foxtel all the way

  3. Are you for serious?? Does it really matter if it doesnt rate well? The rating period is finsihed, just show whatever on tv now, who cares. Theyre only disappointing fans. I know i wont be watching Ten again! Stupid people, almost as bad as Nine.

  10. Well this vindicates my choice to DL it, thanks for nothing 10!

    They take it off with little notice, keep viewers waiting for it return only to put it in a time slot it had no chance of winning or getting decent ratings, these guys are worse than 9!

    As for Califonication it’s running until the end of the year in the US, I guess we have to wait till Feb to see the rest, if they bother bring it back?

  12. Citizen Cane and Kubrik movies crop up on SBS and ABC but more importantly there’s an uproar that a 2008 version 90210 is not being watched by anyone other than mid thirty dags wanting to relive the 90’s. No wonder it rates last. Watch SKins instead or get on a Kontiki trip before it’s too late. And yeah, download it so Ten doesn’t have to show it. Cannot wait for OneHD

  13. does this mean they have to re-edit their summer ads…ha ha, more work for them. also being new this was going to be the only show i watched on 10 during summer, now i’ll just be on 7 all summer with a touch of 9. especially since they won’t have much on 10HD either, only like 2 weeks left of torchwood and probably not long for eureka either, they seem to just be reducing their HD only shows and going back to simulcasting rather than putting on replacement shows, which increases my fears of not seeing season 8 of smallville before april when the opportunity will totally disappear.

  16. i hate ten so much right now
    i cant believe they would do that, with all the other crap theyve got on this summer
    it could of built a steady audience given a good chance and a singular timeslot
    and if theyve gotten rid of californication too (im being blissfully ignorant assuming theyre giving it a week break to distance the closeness between american airdates), im giving up on ten

  18. oh god, looks like i’ll just wait for the dvds on this one, i’m not into it enough to download and this stopping and starting is too annoying to stand any more.

  21. Typical contempt from 10 – what the hell is going on over there, perhaps Gordon Ramsay can expand into the ‘fixing’ Television stations and give programmers at 10 a decent spray – no wonder the arse has fallen out of the share price, hit a record low of 0.9650 this week!
