Seven has updated its first week of summer programming, filling in several TBAs and shuffling a few shows around.
New titles include Stephen Fry in Kingdom as a kindly solicitor who devotes his career to representing the oddball people in the Norfolk town of Market Shipborough, England. Kenneth Brannagh stars as Inspector Kurt Wallander, a brilliant detective who takes each murder case he works on personally and will stop at nothing in his search for the truth. The Take is a UK drama set in the criminal underworld of the East End of London and spans ten years of life in the notorious Jackson family.
Today Tonight reporter Tim Noonan has a special on street racers, graffiti gangs, street thugs and juvenile detention centres.
Returning are new eps of Border Patrol, Outback Wildlife Rescue, Air Crash Investigations.
Continuing are new Destroyed in Seconds, Private Practice, The Amazing Race -the latter shifts to Tuesdays.
In repeats are The Force, Bones and Castle. FlashForward has one new episode.
Both Gary Unmarried and 8:00pm Whacked Out Sports, deleted some days ago, are in schedule but have switched nights from their initial plans.

I thought I saw on tv that they’re advertising the Force as the final episode for this Sunday?
Wouldn’t be surprised if the amendments I received neglected to have a Rpt. Of course, some cities could be getting a new ep against other cities. It seems surprising to run a new ep in summer, but I can only go on the info I have received.
Why would Seven waste new episodes of Castle during the NRP when it’s doing well paired with Bones?
Greatly disappointed that they’re showing repeats of Castle. Why exactly can’t they show new episodes? We’re at least 2 episodes behind the US. This is what I really hate about TV. They never explain reasons behind change in programming. Screw it, I’m throwing out my TV.
Not the most appropriate time of year for Seven to be showing Air Crash Investigations being only a few weeks to Christmas especially if you are travelling or have family members doing so.
Not even allowed to watch that in our home as my aunties and her son/daughters work all involve flying as does my brothers job too.
No Criminal Minds? I’m a newbie to the show, i watched some when they played repeats one summer and quite liked it, but never watched cos there was always something else on. But now i’ve been watching the new eps and the repeats. Would love to see all the older episodes over summer.
30 Rock is one of my fave shows, but it is to niche for primetime.
It doesn’t do that well in the US, and it would do even less in Australia.
It’s just too clever and niche for the masses. As say that even though it’s one of my fave shows.
Waaaaay back when it first aired, the race began on a Tuesday night. The first season started out on Tuesday, then was pushed to Mondays. The only nights I don’t think it’s ever been on are Wednesdays and Sundays.
its best to have programs which you can skip a week and still be able to watch the next. Who has time in the summer months to follow a program week in week out?
Bones and Castle in repeat are great. Wonder what will replace FlashForward the week after? Couldnt The Amazing Race be at 7.30 Tuesday with gary unfunny at 9.30! It seems seven are trying to cement 8.30 wednesdays as City Homicides new home next year with those repeats. Sundays are busy next year with factual double and bones and castle, and mondays busy with DH and BS. Wonder where FF will go?
@Jerome – give there were only 8 eps made/sired of The Philanthropist it’s unlikely to even come up on 7TWO. Pity I liked it while it lasted, again another unique show bites the dust before it’s time 🙁
It’s the first time The Amazing Race is shown on Tuesdays (previously it has aired on Thursdays, Fridays and even Saturdays). Will be interesting to see how it rates.
i’m disappointed that there is no philanthropist. i wonder if 7 will ever air it now? it just seemed perfect for summer.
Now would be the perfect time for them to try out 30 Rock in a decent time slot. And don’t even get me started on the pathetic time slot for Parks and Recreation. Disgraceful.
Dreadful time slot for ‘Parks and Recreation’
Looks like a good chance nine could still be the one again or maybe ten could dominate without having Masterchef. Seven’s lineup doesn’t look flash but then nine’s doesn’t neither but I’ll be more likely to watch the latter with their shows including new CSI:NY and Flashpoint. Ten has the best lineup in my opinion with comedies Accidentally on Purpose and Malcolm in the Middle but I think the ABC will probably be the best network to watch as they have 3 channels with plenty of quality programming.
@Tasha – they are only 3-4 eps behind the US with Castle, they want to save them up for next year…
The ad for the force this week in Perth has it as “series final”
Kingdom is a very ABC-type programme to play on Seven.
Very entertaining, though. It was recently cancelled in the UK after three seasons.
Whilst its nice to have Private Practice continuing in the schedule it will throw Greys Anatomy out of whack when the crossovers happen which is annoying; the show is best kept held to follow Greys at 9.30 next year.
And I wish The Amazing Race was given a 7.30 timeslot; even if it was on Thursdays.
As usual with Seven the vast majority of that is dullsville.
However there are a couple of diamonds in the rough with Bones and Castle repeats. I’m a very recent Castle fan and missed quite a number of episodes so I’m happy to see Seven are repeating the early ones.
Interesting to see Kurt Wallander move to Seven… A great show indeed.
Still a horrible line-up.
New eps of The Force? Hopefully not Seven’s interpretation of “new”, which is different to “all new” and basically means “re-edited compilation packages” a la Border Security…
Why are they repeating Castle? There are so many more episodes they could air 🙁 and PP is earlier, good to see 🙂
Good to see they are not holding over FlashForward once the ratings and, guess they know people will find a way of watching if they have to wait a couple of months for it.
Kingdom sounds interesting, I like Stephen Fry when he was on Bones and tha ‘Stephen Fry In America’ which aired on ABC.
Hmmm, interesting, New The Force on Mondays is surprising.
