Why is the 9 Network treating Conan like crap. I can understand it being on a 11pm but any later and it becomes a joke. If they dont want to give it a decent time slot then on sell the rights to 7 or sbs even. Once again Nine shifting, chopping and changing shows around and its pissing me off, just like it is pi**ing other viewers of the show off.
@ Norm, there are only 4 episodes of Conan produced each week.
Maybe I’ve missed this from earlier posts but is there any reason why there aren’t five episodes of Conan a week on GO!?
@ Jack. Seems strange that Ten can get Letterman by Tuesday, but Gem can’t get Conan. Perhaps TBS is the issue.
Even given this, showing Conan at 11pm or 11.30pm would be appropriate. Showing after midnight is never going to get viewers to wait up.
Jeremy, I think David’s posted before that they can’t source it from TBS quickly enough to air it those nights.
I agree I think Conan is on too late on GEM. I’m sure they can put off a repeat of Embarrassing Bodies for Conan.
I’d rather see Nick Minchin on Conan
Gem has wasted having Conan. Starting after midnight is too late for a show that they feature prominently in promos.
And what’s with Wednesday – Saturday airing? At least do Tuesday – Friday, and from 11pm, or even 11.30pm.
