And the first dumping of the silly season goes to: Channel Nine.
Last night Deadly Surf rated 761,000, down from 10 to 1‘s 910,000 before it. It was beaten by Air Crash Investigations, 7:30 Report and The Simpsons.
From next Wednesday December 10th The New Adventures of Old Christine returns with “Richie Scores” episode 12 of the second season.
After its success with Two and a Half Men Nine is drawing heavily on sitcoms this summer.

I didn’t think ‘Old Christine’ was really that funny. Why don’t they air some of the episodes of The King Of Queens that they have lying around.
None. It flopped a week ago.
Any chance 90210 will be back for the summer proper now the ratings are over?
Didn’t the same thing happen during the ratings season, only both 10 to 01 and Deadly Surf were removed from the 7.30 Tuesday timeslot. WTF made them think the combo would work this time?
Good grief Charlie Brown.
I hope you will keep track David.
Nine 1, Ten & Seven Nil.
90210 was axed during ratings. Twice.
Wasn’t 90210 the first axing for the Summer??
Good to see Old Christine back, now will ch9 be dumping Gossip Girl next?
Um I thought this was the non ratings period so why does it matter that shows are down a few 1000 viewer?
Oh dear. Why are they putting on one of the worst comedies ever made? Boring!
It’s great a scripted series has been put on in place of a factual. It’s usually the other way round.
Yay – love Old Christine and Julia!
Old Christine is soooo funny. Season 3 is what I am watching and its still great. I love it so much i download it as i cant wait on useless 9
I love Julia Louis Dreyfuss but not this show. But anything can be better than a horrible reality show right? (oh, except for Two and a Half Men)
There actually has been word. Aaron over TV Aus has confirmed it.
DSM has been moved to 11.30pm, but not dumped.
There’s been no word of DSM being dumped yet. Though at a paltry 560k, I can see why it would be.
@ Nadine, is that true? DSM is dumped?
I thought Dirty Sexy Money was the first dumping of the silly season? It’s good to have Old Christine finally back. It should have been there already.
I hope Christine does okay. It’s so much better than 2 and a 1/2 men. It’s not perfect, but it is better.
90210 not silly enough?
Thank you australia for not watching deadly surf 🙂
This chick was hilarious on Seinfeld. I haven’t seen this show yet, it might be worth a look, although Nine are now two seasons behind on this show
Is this a repeat David? I own Season 1 and 2 on dvd from the US…..I thought NINE would surely have been up to Season 3 by now?!?!
wow 761,000 aint that bad, i’m sure it would have done better if it was paired up with another factual thats what 7 do and they are laughing with their factuals.
but yay for old chritine much more appropriate lead off from 10to1
i would have put money on ten having the first cut of the silly season
