  1. Great news that Ten is finally showing new episodes of Oprah, but what’s gonna happen when she leaves our shores? Back to repeats and episodes that aired in 2009? Consider Ellen and The View are aired within hours of screening the US, why can’t Oprah be the same?

  2. Thanks for this David.

    Hopefully they’ll show the Sound of Music and Michael Jackson episodes in the evening. Though unlikely as they didn’t for Twilight Saga Eclipse or the Glee special.

  3. The Portia interview is well worth the watch when it comes on!! I was in tears.
    and Katherine Jackson this past Monday was a must watch too.
    i agree with jezza they should be same day but i really dont think Ten care. Plus its not gonna change now its the last season. I guess Tens reasoning has always been that Oprah doesnt really discuss daily topics so they can get away with it being so far behind. Im in the US so i get to watch

  4. Ch 10 is all over the shop with Oprah, never know if its going to be a repeat or not, and they also don’t play episodes in order which is extremely annoying! But i guess they will keep sneaking in repeats so the can stretch the final season out for another 3 years.

  5. Oprah should really be played the day after the US, just like Ellen and the View, especially since th episodes sometimes make the news like the sound of music reunioun or the Jackson children interview.
