two-half-menJust days to go but still the changes keep comin’ thru…

Nine has just announced a new episode of Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory to air tomorrow night at 7:30 / 8:00pm.

They will replace a repeat of Men and What’s Good For You This Summer, the latter is bumped to next week.

27.9 and counting….

UPDATE: Cancel that.

We’re back to two repeats of Two and a Half Men. Crazy times….

  2. Ridiculous.

    They’ve show 2 1/2 men so often that it’s becoming possible to quote whole sections of the show without even trying…ditch this notion that Charlie and the gang, or good old Bert and his countdowns are suitable bandaids to plaster over a terminally woeful programming schedule.

    Forget the first aid measures – this channel needs a transfusion of new shows to bring it back to health.

  3. How hard is it for Nine to go back to the Drawing Board for something new and different for their evening comedy and light entertainment line ups.

    I can’t believe that Sheen gets more air time on Nine than Humphrey Bear,Hi 5,A Current Affair,Hot Seat,Postcards or any of Nines Home Grown Programming except for Crime Shows and Football.

  6. 2.5men for 9 is like 9.5 times a day. Just give up on them, they’re due for a cutting and by the way if nine want to flip flop they might want that as a game show title and not a network motive. Maybe Morello could sell them some joy!

  7. I just viewed an ad for this with Nine billing three repeat episodes of 2.5 Men in a row as a Special Event. How can it be a Special Event if it happens every other week of the year.

  8. It is Thirty Years in 2010 since Sale of the Century which was later known as Temptation first aired was first aired way back in 1980.
    I amongst many other people found it rather insulting that they dropped a high rating intelligent game show that is entertaining for a crappy US sitcom.I can understand dropping it for the Price is Right but for 2.5 men is a disgrace

  9. I would rather Nine pay the extra to make Temptation or to Bring Back the Price is Right at any cost than have to put up with what is essentially a modern day take on the old My Two Dads,My Two Wives,Different Strokes concept.

  11. @Tim Jong – I tell you one thing – if Sale/Temptation was to air daily at a regular hour – be it 7PM or 5:30 (or whatever) I would be tuning in each day, for sure!!

    Channel Nine, your best asset in the stupid ‘lead-in’ challenge is Temptation…. A universally wholesome and entertaining gameshow, without any smug or trashy feel… Purely good fun… Have a go over Summer with it – most bloggers here love it (you listening?)…

  15. I guess they figured out that 2.5 Men re-runs will rate just as well as new so why ‘waste’ them with little advertising. Or the monkey in charge of the press release when crazy… does it matter?

  19. One of the commentators on the Twenty/20 game from the Gabba (I watched yesty, I record everthing so I don’t have to see the ads) said, “don’t forget to watch two and a half men tonight, it’s got charlie sheen in it”, I fell down laughing. Watch 2.5 men, yeah right, be better off putting that on GO1 and sticking Hogans Heroes on 9, at least it’s funny. Note to self: have fast forward button ready for programme plugs during Test matches
