Panic stations at Nine?
In a surprising move, Nine has just scheduled a second episode of Million Dollar Drop into 8:30pm Thursday night, in place of CSI.
This will be a new episode, not a repeat.
Last night the new Eddie McGuire game show pulled 933,000 viewers -second in its timeslot.
Today Nine also scheduled replays of that episode for Sunday afternoons.
Sounds like an all or nothing gamble by the network. Will it work?
Updated: TMMD runing Mon and Thursday this week and next. CSI back April 7th.
Further Update: CSI back in for Melb March 24.

It should do well.All it needs is another host preferably a female.Eddie fans see him at 5:30pm though I am thinking HIS Hot Seat would make a good 2.5 men replacement at 7pm for those of us fed up of those shown for the 50th time repeats from later this year onwards or in 2012.
This show won’t be lasting too long. The people that want to watch Eddie, see him at 5:30pm. Can Nine actually make a good show for a change? I love the Comedy Gala ads on Ten with the comedian saying “Television is a powerful tool but then again so is Eddie McGuire.” Laugh everytime I hear it!
Just as long as Eddie Everywhere isn’t in it…
When will Nine realise Eddie and this tired old format will not cut it
Potential Headlines after Thursday regarding the show
-> Million dollar Flop (previously mentioned by Craig)
-> Million dollar Axe!
Bring back Temptation hosted by Ed Phillips
According to another tv site
CSI is returning Thursday April 7th
Can Ben Elton host?
Won’t be watching on Thursday, clashes with The Goodwife.
Happily watched Million Dollar Drop last night and would watch it again but I’m annoyed now. 2 episodes a week is overkill…and they’re dropping CSI (even if it is for just a week). already sourcing CSI NY elsewhere. Don’t tell me I have to add CSI to that list.
cricket on live would be good, how about it 9?
if not show off GEM with the cricket.
cmon aussies!!!
When will nine realise there is not much Eddie love outside of Melbourne!
How can anyone kep up with Nine’s programming changes and double eps all over the place?
David you getting that “Million Dollar Flop” headline ready 😉
I say this will be gone in a few weeks.
up against the AFL…. that is just insanity.
How about showing the quarter final between Australia and India instead. Just a thought.
I think we are over this kind of show.
This would be one of the greatest TV shows to appear on channel 9 in years. But I’d prefer a 7pm timeslot. The questions are way too easy aswell
No this will not work, it has already been stated that none of Nine’s big shows this year will work and there is a very good reason for that. The people have spoken.
how can nine’s programmers survive?
I gave this show a decent go but I really couldn’t have cared less about the contestants – it became drawn out and they were annoying. Why do these shows have to go for an hour!
As a single person, I realy can’t be bothered to sit and watch supposedly happy couples
I watched it only to see what it was all about but found it boring and too drawn out I wont be watching again.
errr why don’t the donkeys doing the scheduling at 9 put the World Cup cricket quarter final (that they will have paid big $$$$ for) on Live durr.
I hope the govt forces changes so Live sports rights will become use it or lose it in future, or even change the rules so they can go on the digi channels. Why is change so bloody slow.
Yep, I think Nine are Panicing.
It’s against the season opener in AFL markets, so it will fail there. Might pick up some viewers in NSW and Qld though.
