Bumped: Ringer
Sarah Michelle-Gellar's Ringer makes the switch from TEN to ELEVEN.

Sarah Michelle-Gellar’s Ringer returns to screens this weekend, but has switched from TEN to ELEVEN.
Ratings for the show have struggled from the outset, and it will probably better suit the multichannel’s “alternative” programming than underperform on the main channel.
The network will keep the show on the same night, Sundays, but it moves from 9:30pm to a 10:50pm start.
“That’s What You Get For Trying to Kill Me”
Henry begins to target someone as a suspect in the disappearance of his wife gemma and realizes he must work with Bridget to find out more information. Malcolm talks to the police about his suspicion of Charlie, while juliet develops an unhealthy obsession with her teacher Mr. Carpenter. Meanwhile, Agent Machado meets with an informant back in Wyoming.

Still don’t know where Angel and Buffy have gone….
Hopefully if 11 has bumped it for now, it will resurface at a more respectable 9:30pm timeslot
@Rayne and @Jenny — It sounds like Ringer — a new show — has been replaced by old repeats on Sunday night. What a disappointment. Another fail, Channel Ten / Eleven!
@Phoenix it’s gone from my EPG, Raymond and Family Ties are listed instead.
@ Jenny — I’m not sure which guide you’re referring to which doesn’t show Ringer on Sunday.
According to the 9MSN TV guide, Ringer is still listed for Sunday, 8 Jan, 10.50pm on Eleven.
@Jenny, I read a few weeks ago that Ringer wasn’t returning to US screens until January 31st – guess ELEVEN didn’t get that memo….:D
It seems to have been bumped again no longer on the guide for the 8th
I did start to watch this as back in the day I was a Buffy fan. But I lost interest so much so that I forgot t hat it was on.
ELEVEN is a good place for it. But I still think an earlier timeslot.
@ Jake — Ringer starts this Sunday, 8 Jan, on Eleven at 10.50pm.
@ tomothy …..I do not watch Ringer….but my thoughts exactly when I read this….about Graham Norton show……ho hum….
I love this show, its so much better than the Terra Nova crap. Bad acting and there wasn’t one character from Terra Nova I liked. So I gave up. But Ringer is addictive.
The ratings were poor because it followed the horrible Terra nova.
When does is start on Eleven? This Sunday?
I started thinking this show was amazing.. the first 4 episodes were very fast paced and actually thrilling for a show… now.. it’s kinda just filling in time. Hope it improves or I’ll just give up completely
As for the timeslot.. as many have said it’s ridiculous. Why not have it at 6.30pm on a Sunday?
Should have been on Eleven from the start as the lead in to American Horror Story on Tuesday nights, they would work well together.
But 10.50pm – how is this making good use of the digital channel. This show is great, and is being killed – just like Graham Norton will be.
“Ten should just put this on Eleven rather than jerking us around later.” – that’s my comment from 7 October, before the show started, and there were many others who made similar comments. Yet again, TV Tonight readers knew better than Ten’s programming dept.
However, bumping it to a digital *and* pushing it back by nearly an hour and a half is overkill and will be too late for many of the younger-skewing audience. Why is it being given this ignoble timeslot? Because Ten think that the 1999 movie “Anywhere But Here” is going do better.
I love SMG, but i gave up on Ringer.
Thanks for posting this. Was surprised to not see it on last night after Terra Nova so didn’t know what was going on.
Knew this would happen so i gave up watching on Ten. One of the better new shows, but Ten are prob the most untrustworthy network now. No point trying to watch any of their shows on their channels.
What about Medium? With just a few episodes to go, Australia has been without this show for twelve months and Medium should be on Eleven this year.
TEN is doing late night replays later this week, so hopefully it will progress to the final unseen episodes.
Sorry David, actually the timeslot wasn’t announced, just had heard it was moving to ELEVEN ages ago.
That is old news, heard about that a while back.
The move to Eleven is not surprising. Make room for Homeland to also make the move in 2012.
Good on TEN for giving it a go, the switch is understandable but they should have left it at 9:30, 10:50 is just too late for many.
Why put it on at all!! That timeslot is ridiclous!
