  1. Overall, a good schedule. Except for one thing – what’s happening with the Late Show with David Letterman? It’s not airing at 11.15pm anymore during the summer? It’s bad enough making it start After midnight on Mondays (thanks to ‘Medium’) and Fridays (thanks to ‘Crap movies’), I can’t let ten air this after midnight on all nights in Summer. You kniow what’s happening tvtonight?

  2. Brilliant news on Outrageous Fortune. What season will it show? I hope it’s not edited in a 930 time slot. I am currently watching series 3 on DVD and there is less nudity than series 2 but a lot of swearing (love it – mind you!) so I hope the audience doesn’t get a softer version?

  3. Great lineup! Ten will be great to flick to and watch something fun! supernatural, futurama, 7pm, californication all great to watch! and thank god for The Office! Finally!

  4. Ten should have moved Futurama to Wednesdays and aired it alongside The Simpsons and Cleveland where it would have had a better chance of rating.

    @ Justin: New episodes of Futurama will be shown. Ten has yet to air the episodic versions of the final two Futurama movies (Bender’s Game/Into the Wild Green Yonder) which equates to 8 new eps.

  5. Is Futurama new eps or repeats?

    Looks like a good line-up for my tastes, better than previous summers.

    I do reacall that Ten orginally planned to show the US 5th grader last summer, but changed their minds at the last mintue.

    Don’t Forget the Lyrics is one of fave summer shows – pity they are wasting it on Saturdays though, where it could simply be dropped for PG movies if Merlin repeats don’t work.

  6. I don’t understand why Ten doesn’t show episode 11-13 of Glee during December (Ten will have shown first 10 episodes of season 1 by the end of ratings period in Australia), then it will take the same break as Fox in America, and wait for the last nine episodes of the season in 2010. Otherwise, a good summer line-up.

  7. Wednesday does seem rather feeble but I can’t think of another way of launching The Cleveland Show during non-ratings than surrounding it by The Simpsons. On that note there does seems to be a *heap* of comedy, from RoE rpts, new Office which a lot of people have suggested and would be happy about (perhaps going for another TBBT/2.5 Men success), Accidentally on Purpose, Futurama… I must say while overall it looks like a good line-up I predict a lot of this will fail ratings-wise and NCIS repeats will be slotted in problem areas pretty quickly.

    On another note, I didn’t know New Zealand has its own version of The Hothouse. Is it a success over there or a complete bomb as it was on TEN in 2004?

  8. I can’t believe they are giving The Office a chance in prime time! should have been done in the first place! What season are they up to? If it’s season 5 then it is pretty damn funny and season 6 (which is airing in US now is even better!)

    Also Outrageous Fortune on at a decent time! this is brilliant news! Is It season 3? season 3 is a bit dark but it will hopefully grab viewers in because it’s such a great show and wait till you all see season 5 if we ever get it! Wow!

  9. Hey, pretty good sched – looking forward to White Collar, Cleveland and Californication.

    One question though David – have you heard what’s happening with Nurse Jackie? By my calculations, it will be at its’ penultimate episode by the first week of the NRP.

  10. Wow! Neighbours is definitely finishing earlier than usual this year. Any reason for that? Will it be back earlier in Jan too then?Usually its only Home & Away that finishes early and starts late

  11. So happy Supernatural is back 🙂 They did advertise it and one point but then they didn’t follow through, but who cares, it’s back! At least TEN has it, it could be worse…Nine could buy it, keep it on their programming schedule for, I don’t know, one night, then axe it. Then again they axed Three Rivers, okay, they’re all as bad as each other.

    Excited most about SN, The Office, White Collar, Glee (never got to watch it last time round), and Lie To Me (something else conflicted with it). Now, just fingers crossed nothing coincides with these shows.

  12. Titanic was on Seven wasn’t it? The rights must have changed. A faaaaaantastic summer lineup, except repeat galore but its cool, primetime slot for the Office!!!! Many many fans will br pleased, and hopefully it will continue somewhere decent next ratings season.

    Very smart move having Cleveland show in summer, it would have bombed in ratings, and Ten would have piss farrted around with it until we’d never see it again. Hopefully they persist with most of the schedule and don’t go chop changing at the last minute

    And I was relieved to see that The HotHouse 10.30 friday is the NZ series, not the failed Aussie series.

    Heaps of this stuff will also bode well for their new entertainment channel next year, they have a decent back catalogue
