No way! Why oh why Nine… would you take Cold Case off from the 8.30pm timeslot, your crazy, judging by Wednesday’s rating their were a lot of shows on that night. SYTYCDA starts at 8pm and I think some viewers are watching that right to the end instead of catching Cold Case at 8.30pm. Cold Case normal average around 900,000 – 800,000 sometimes even 1,000,000. I would rather Cold Case any day over a simply… factual series named RPA. No one will watch RPA. The Nine Network has spent some more this year on promoting Cold Case as one of it showcases, its quiet a shame to give up. In my opinion i think RPA should only be a half a hour and start at 7.30pm. For the amount of show on Nine’s programming list how do they think that they are going to show them all?
I suspect this isn’t actually a programming change but what was planned all along, given that they were airing new eps of Cold Case over summer. I’m sure they were alwyas going to pull it once the Olypmics got here.
@ chris as far as i know he has
he looks so different to than when he played hurtle in the flying doctors
Has Max Cullen always narrated RPA? didnt realise this. loved him in Love My Way
hope Cold Case returns after the olymipcs in the 9:30pm timeslot where it performed well last year. Without A Trace should finish off in the 10:30pm timeslot. at least Nine are still airing the new episode next week.
“Official rating survery” my foot!!!! Grrr!!!
They never just leave a Good show alone!!! There are plenty of people who watch “Cold Case”, and channel 9 knows it’s not on dvd (and probably never will because of the music royalties), so they just do whatever they please with it, and we have to put up with it!!!
It’s just not fair!!!! It’s a good show & we deserve to see it … 8:30 or 9:30pm!!!!
RPA is a good show & I have nothing against that, but don’t replace “Cold Case” is all I’m saying!!!
Grrr. Why not just put it on at 9.30pm? What bet Without a Trace will be gone too?
awesome i love RPA
No!!!!!!!!!!
Note to Michael Healy: Try a new Australian drama at 8:30 wednesday instead of an old US drama. Cold Case is good for those rusted on crime drama watchers, but might work better at 9:30 anyway.
