Glee returns to TEN next week, having resumed its episode in the US. The show also returns to its 7:30pm timeslot.

Hopefully this means there will be new episodes for the rest of November.

  1. @ Qubec: Ten have been censoring episodes even in its 8.30pm timeslot! This is despite the fact that the first two seasons in their entirety, along with all of the additional content, have been classified PG for their home video release. -.-

  2. In the case of Downton Abbey it had not been on here, there was very little known about it by most people, Glee on the other hand has been around a couple of years, fans are hanging out for it and will be more likely to go else where to get there fix. Plus Glee is more of a in the moment show with lots of press on ET and talk shows that air here, hard to hide the spoilers. I can’t remember seeing any of the DA cast on talk shows UK or US in the last year.

    I doubt fast tracking could be hurting the ratings, maybe fans here are just over the show, or maybe like others have said TEN needs to stop screwing the fans an leave it on in the same time slot, that’s what can hurt a show.

  3. The programmers can’t win, most are calling for shows they love to be fast tracked within hours/days or the US, TEN does this and now people want them to put the show on hold, if they know it’s going to have a break in a few weeks.

    Seriously if you’re following a show come to sites like this, check you EPG regularly and you will find them when they come up.

  4. americans might be “used to” all this programming chaos, but they would also be getting used to entire years going past without a single hit show being made. just sayin’.

    @Craig, how can you be so sure that slow-tracking would do more harm than good. plenty of shows have been held off and have done just fine. look at downton abbey. held off for 8 months and was the biggest import in years. i dont think any show can be expected to survive the scheduling chaos that fasttracking causes glee.

    looking at the ratings lately i dont think anyone can draw the conclusion that fasttracking has done the show any good.

  5. @A friendly yank – yes you may be used to it, but i was just making the point as to how shows (especially new ones) can possibly build an audience with so many breaks inbetween new episodes. programs in australia have lost audiences due to networks treating programs as such. glee has had about 10 different timeslots since it began and the ratings are nothing on what it once was.

    @Jerome – couldnt agree more about holding over new episodes, or at least starting the season a few weeks after the US.

  6. Seriously Ten…WTF?? Another timeslot. It isn’t hard to work out why they only have one show rate over 1 million last week. What show was that….NCIS which has been in the 8.30 Tuesday timeslot for about 5 years. Look at what’s happened to Glee, Modern Family, Your Gen, House, all shows that are great shows that were once the best rating shows for Ten. Now they all rate poorly due to constant timeslot changes. Ten deserve everything they get.

  7. Going by what I’m read (and the posts here) in the US they are better informed as to the show schedules, so fans know when their show will be on. I also agree that here it’s probably more erratic like Seven’s treatment of the Rafters this year and now taking it off with eps still remaining in the season.

    As for TEN holding over shows like Glee until 2012, that would do more harm than good, I’m sure TEN will start promoting the shows return in the coming week, but I wish they’d put it on at 8:30 to save us from the local edits to fit the earlier time slot.

  8. @A friendly yank: it’s more a case of the broadcast network here – TEN – opted to schedule random, non-“special” programming in the timeslot rather than just air repeats.

    Between baseball and X-Factor there’s a four week gap to plug. Fine, fill one with The Renovators but then they should have repeated the first 3 epsidoes of season 3 at 7:30pm – it didn’t rate terribly well at the start of the season and would be moving timeslot regardless.

    Modern Family isn’t a fix for any scheduling difficulty, plus which of its many timeslots is TEN going to air season 3 episode in? I theoretically pay attention to this sort of stuff and I’m confused…

  9. Ten should have just held the first 5 episodes over until 2012. Surely this erratic scheduling is doing much more damage to the show than downloaders ever would.

    Yet another timeslot, are we down to a new slot every 3 episodes now? And now that it is in a 7:30 slot means that yet another timeslot change is inevitable once Biggest loser starts.

  10. Alvar, we in the US are used to having Fox programming (Glee, Raising Hope, Fringe, etc..) taken off in October for the MLB playoffs and World Series. It sounds like you Ausies are plagued with more erratic program scheduling than we have, but maybe I’m just getting the wrong impression from comments on this site.

  11. David: thanks for all you do. As this probably isnt yet in the foxtel onscreen guide, could you one day explain how the free tv networks upload their programming to foxtel? They are worsening their ratings by excluding cable consumers from this info. Thanks

  14. Yet another timeslot change. Ten really are morons. They had a winning Wednesday schedule a few weeks ago but they are stupid and can’t figure out what works well. 7.30pm Modern Family 8.30pm Glee 9.30 Hawaii Five O. This was gaining traction and increasing in ratings but they had to go and change it.

    I swear, it’s like they’re rearranging the deckchairs on Titanic Ten.

  15. Unfortunately there will be no new episode of Glee on November 22 (23 in Australia) due to the US version of The X Factor. Glee will return in the US the week after, but I am not sure if Ten will follow suit, as it will be the start of the non-ratings season.
