    1. They would be better off with just 1 new ep and save the new season for Eleven. On a Friday night the audience will be small and I suspect fans would sit through the repeat anyway. On many Wednesday nights with 1 hr the repeat has rated higher than a new ep, because it accrues viewers along the way. Much better to start new season on Eleven, even if it is Glee themed.

  4. Andy – it’s double repeats of Glee itself (s02e01 aired 22 September, s02e02 airing 29 September); premiere episodes of The Simpsons – s21e22 and s22e01.

    The Commonwealth Games finish on 14 October, so rather than re-air the closing ceremony in prime time or something, we get modified programming instead…

  7. My guess is keep up with the American airings and then when 2011 TBL Families and 2011 MC Season 3 is on, place leftovers on 11. Why not Sundays 6:00/6:30 then MF. It will get some viewers who normally don’t watch TT or ACA but the 6pm ep is a different one! I mean tonight is a bit of a gamble as well considering there is a football grand final to go up against. Seriously TEN!

  8. Why do TEN do this? It can’t help the ratings for the show, no one can keep up with when the new episodes are on and like me probably just give up and watch something else, or read a book, instead. They seem to be under the impression we’ll watch the show whenever it’s on and irrespective of whether it’s a repeat or not. Well TEN, you’re wrong!
