SupernaturalBoy, that didn’t take long….

TEN has dropped Stargate Universe and Supernatural from Monday nights.

Both shows are now out of schedule, giving the new sci fi just three weeks on air before being pulled.

On Monday night Stargate Universe took 487,000 viewers, leaving Supernatural just 394,000 and more importantly a lowly evening share of just 16% for the night.

They will be replaced by Monday night movies:
Jan 4: The Siege (1998)
Jan 11: Double Jeopardy (1999)
Jan 18: Speed (1994)

TEN is probably working out where to reschedule unaired episodes of both shows…. keep you posted on this one.

  1. I am sick of channel ten, its pathetic. Its the only good show on at the moment, and you take it off!
    Channel 10, get your act together,
    Staregate i can understand but supernatural?
    come on,
    dont be pathetic

  2. My God, Why do these stupid execs put on a show at such a stupid time-slot in the first place.
    The should know by now that fans are becoming so sick and tired of the same old movies and repeats that no wonder they have no loyal viewers anymore.

    I am totally sick of it all

  3. Adding a show to take it off after three showings, well that’s just a lame way to behave. Don’t the media in this country bother to test market?

    *laughter rings* … oh yes of course they reckon screening three episodes is a “test market” over christmas when everone is on holidays, etc, etc.

    quote of the week: “not happy Ten”

  5. OMG, here we go again, channel friggin ten has done it again!!! oh yay crappy movies instead of Supernatural (my fav show), this time of year there is nothing to watch and then the only show worth watching during the week is pulled off in favour of some filler of a movie…..Maybe the people at channel ten are getting old and it’s time to reitre them in favour of people with Taste!!!

  6. agree with all the previous comments I love sci fi and couldnt believe that we could finally see some on free to air tv at a decent time. Can the ratings really be trusted at this time of year anyway given so many people have been at Christmas functions and are on hols etc.. I would be surprised if the crappy movies they are showing got better ratings!

    at least we have sg Atlantis on 7 two

  7. Well you’ve got to expect this from 10 after all One and not 10 is the principal channel so the network make no bones that they are the ‘meathead’ network, and shows that require any sort of thinking by the viewer are not for them. It’s just a pity that they feel obliged to buy the rights to these kinds of shows instead f letting them go to 9 or 7 (either of which would have relegated them to their secondary channel too, but would have at least run them (though Go hasn’t exactly got a great track record for this kind of show either). Bring on the end to sport going to the free to airs so the Ten network wont be able to afford to stay on air.

  8. Maybe if tv stations started showing some loyalty to their viewers they may get some loyalty in return. Lost track of the number of shows I’ve started to watch and enjoy, only to have them pulled from the air. No wonder people download tv shows from the internet rather than take the risk of watching them on FTA.

    It seems 10 have forgotten how long it took X Files to become popular and what a big hit it was for them. All they want now is instant hits and aren’t prepared to wait and build an audience.

  9. ………….. i cant believe it……….. u finally get a good show that has a decent time slot and u axe it………. plz do us all a favour and just give those rights to channel 7……. at least they dont cancel everything that people accually like

  10. If this is supposed to be non-ratings season, why do Ten even care about the numbers of viewers. Do something right for the fans for once and just air Supernatural or pass it on to Foxtel. Ten seriously sucks. Replacing New TV shows with movie repeats from the 90’s. That is truly pathetic.

  11. I’m not surprised in the slightest.

    For four entire seasons I have put up with the crap that Ten has put us (Supernatural fans) through and resisted temptation to watch it via other means but I think I’ve had enough.
    Maybe they’d have a few more viewers if they played it sooner rather than later and with some consistency.. they’ve only got themselves to blame for the poor ratings.

  12. what the hell is going on with channel 10, supernatural shouldnt be canceled is an awesome show and it fans wont stop until it’s back on the air. This is seriously rediculous you air supernatural one week and then its not on the next. Get your s**t sorted out, and stop getting all the die hard supernatural fan hopes up, that its on for good. But its not.
    please channel 10 bring supernatural back for good.

  13. Why oh why do they even bother. Give Supernatural to Foxtel, let them run it exclusive, every ep – all in a row – and more than likely on the same night for 22 weeks….
    Repeats of movies. Oh yeah, that’s gonna pull them in.
    P.S. Channel 10, do you ever read you forums on your site – you need to go there and see the pages and pages of comments about Supernatural being dropped…
    But, hey, of course, there are no fans and no-one watches it – Channel 10 knows best because obviously, they are geniuses!

  14. I love scifi and am disgusted that once again another programme will not be shown. Give them a chance. Where can we watch scifi? Pay TV is not worth getting. Thank goodness for DVD’s. The movies are always repeats – nothing to watch on 10 now. Goodbye channel 10. You are a great disappointment

  15. Anyone who has a problem should contact channel 10 direct, flood them with emails and force them to put the show back on.

    Shame on you channel 10, replacing our shows with utter crap.

  16. What the hell is wrong with Channel Ten???!!!! Fans of Supernatural have waited Months for the new season, we get a few weeks and they take it off air again!!! Now I really do believe it should be on a channel that respects loyal viewers. I reckon it even would be better on SBS! Seriously Ten, you replace a great show (sorry, never watched Stargate) before the fan base can get back up, with crappy B-Grade movies? Instead of trying to keep people happy by moving it to another time-slot (still would’ve been pi**ed, but at least I could still watched it), but you take it of completely? And because some of us have dial-up, we can’t even watch it on the internet! You ruin Dexter, you ruin Supernatural, and try to appease people by putting on movies you have run 100 times? I am certainly not watching Channel Ten anytime soon.

  18. this is so not kool im only 12 and i love supernatural and i want it back on tv its like the best show ever i hav all 4 seasons and i want to see the next episode and im sure other people agree with me so i say they shoud put it back on…………..
    please please please please!!!!

  19. Typical of thr TV channels – absolutley no thought for the customer.
    Just because we don’t actually pay them direct they think they can do anything

  21. Boo!

    I’ve waited long enough for channel 10 to actually screen the new episodes. I guess I’ll have to view them via other means.

    Even if channel 10 can’t be bothered showing them at a decent timeslot, put it on at 3:00am on Wednesdays or some other equally random time so that I can at least record it and watch it later. Stupid channel 10.

    Actually, stupid channels 7, 9 and 10.

  22. I think that the sci-fi fans are their own worst enemy. Which fans are most likely to have already downloaded and watched episodes of shows hmm? Perhaps that is why the ratings are so low that these shows are no longer viable. Patience is virtue.

  25. I give up! Honestly, if we can’t even see these shows in non-ratings, when are we ever??? Can we add Double Jeopardy to that list of movies on contant rotation at Ten?! Ugh!
