Bumped: So You Think You Can Dance. Gone: Go Girls

TEN has moved on its Friday programming, following a dismal share on Friday. Enter: The Simpsons.

cat-deeleyTEN has moved on its Friday programming, following a dismal share on Friday of just 14.6%.

So You Think You Can Dance will now playout later in the evening, following an hour of The Simpsons and a movie. This week it screens Never Been Kissed at 8:30pm then Nanny McPhee and The Break Up in coming weeks.

That pushes Dance (this week with Katie Holmes) back to 10:30pm. As a result the NZ drama Go Girls is out of schedule. TEN was clearly gaining local drama points for this one, but it has to play between 5-11pm to qualify, as Out of the Blue does. Maybe it will return after Dance ends on September 4th, with Talia Fowler’s appearance.

  1. Somehow through Channel 10 Adelaide’s complete stuffing around with time schedule for the final three weeks of US SYTYCD, I have now missed the finale! Not impressed! After watching the whole series 4 I missed the last episode! Ten you need to get your act together. If your going to move it, then how about letting viewers know! Ripped Off!

  2. Seriously ten! What a joke. Bumping SYTYCD when it gets to the final 8 contestants and then not advertisingthe change. Show some balls! And what makes it worse, is subjecting your viewers to more reruns of The Simpsons. Does “flogging a dead horse” mean anything to you guys. Consideration for viewers would have been a novel idea especially when there was only 3 weeks remaining for the SYTYCD season.

  3. Bull**it !
    My daughter and I look forward to So You Think You Can Dance all week.
    channel 10 as bad as channel 9
    bring on bit torrents and get rid of crap TV stations

  4. Very disappointed with the time change of So You Think You Can Dance but what makes it worse it was never advertised of the change! Consideration is the key.
    I just thought it got bumped like Beverley Hills 90210 new seies – but hey will have Australian Idol rammed down our throats along with repeats of the Simpsons – oh what joy to look forward to , SBS is looking better by the minute!

    very disappointed viewer…….

  5. Why, why, why ? Just to bump SYTYCD to not just a later slot, but to an unwatchable slot without notice is plain bad manners Ch 10! My daughter and I look forward to it all week. Last week we thought it was a programming “bleep” but here we are again this week, and nothing to look forward to and relish again. Simpsons (duh!) worn-out movies (duh!) Is everyone at chanet 10 having a brain drain?
    Look after your viewers Ch10 – not to mention country to country diplomacy etc….. Perhaps America will return the compliment and bump a few Aus TV shows.
    Bring back SYTYCD to a reasonable slot before its over!!!!! Duh !

  6. What’s happened to So You THink You Can Dance? Normal slot on Friday nights????? Just when we’re into it…..You cut it!! That stinks….How can you let down your viewers like that!!!! Please bring it back to a time slot for everyone to watch, I miss it now cos it’s on toooooooo late!!!!!!

  7. Maybe it was the patheticly weak 7PM Project that should have been bumped to a 10.30 timeslot instead of SYTYCD. The 7PM project probably has more to do with TEN’s poor Friday ratings than anything.

  8. Didnt realise til tonight that SYTYCD had been moved premanently to a later spot! I really thought it was just an almightly programming Cock-Up last week!

    Way to go TEN!

    What a treat though, instead we get The Simpsons… again (hasnt that show been around for fxxxx 50 years?) and some lame movie! No wonder your ratings are going down the bleeding toilet, you treat your viewers like crap!

  9. Channel Ten, what a farce … Why start a series and then end it – you treat your viewers like garbage. Go Girls was shaping up to be a great series, there is a lack of quality NZ tv here in Aussie. How can this be axed, and yet we still have to put up with the lamest of lame shows like ‘The 7PM Project’ .

  10. Oh Ten what were you thinking, Why play the simpsons on a friday night when people wan’t to relax and watch something good.
    You play Crap like that , and bump off good programs that people actually enjoy watching after a hard week at work.
    Go girls is a fantastic series that i caught a glimpse of in NZ and was excited to see it make our screens here.
    Seriously 10.
    Fail.

  11. Spare a thought for families (who are over the Simpsons) and the elderly (to whom SYTYCD certainly appeals) who could not sit until 1.15 a.m. to see the finale of the show. Spare a thought also to the poor young fellow at Channel 10 who I spoke to and who must have copped a tongue lashing over the phone on Friday night. It would have been fairer had one of the Channel 10 Execs stayed back to field some of those angry calls. Bring back the Dance to the 7.30 timeslot!

  12. Please bring back SYTYCD at a reasonable hour. That and Go Girls were the only two programs worth watching all week. I had to ring Channel 10 on Friday night to find out what was happening only to get a poor young guy that seemed to be overwhelmed by the amount of calls he was getting and couldn’t give a reason for the shift in program times. Channel 10 – You’ve lost us all. Never did watch your channel very often anyway but will not bother going back there again. I will stick with good old ABC for some entertainment.
