Seven is returning a number of other favourite shows next week.

Wednesday February 8
10:30pm Happy Endings
“Mein Coming Out”
The gang tries to convince Max to come out to his parents when they visit Chicago and Max has to scramble yet again to get one of the ladies to pose as his girlfriend. Meanwhile, Penny meets the man of her dreams, Doug. He’s good looking, funny, successful… but he’s got a rather infamous last name.

UPDATED: HE now out, replaced by How I Met Your Mother repeats.

Thursday February 9
8:30pm Grey’s Anatomy
“Free Falling”
The fifth-year residents return for the first day of a year that will make or break their careers. Meredith faces the consequences of tampering with Derek’s clinical trial and is terminated at the hospital. April tries to step up to the plate as Chief Resident in the wake of a giant sinkhole in the middle of Seattle. Meanwhile, Cristina and Owen are still at odds over their drastically different feelings for their unborn child.

9:30pm Desperate Housewives (regular time)

10:30pm Private Practice
“God Laughs”
Sam, Cooper, Charlotte and Amelia team up to save the life of their friend Pete after he suffers a heart attack, while Violet, who was in the middle of leaving Pete and LA, is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Addison’s desire to have a baby leads her to see Jake Reilly, her recent mystery man, in a most surprising place, and Sheldon tries to help Amelia in her battle with alcohol.

11:30pm 30 Rock
“Dance Like Nobody’s Watching”
As everyone returns from holiday break, NBC’s new talent show, “America’s Kidz Got Singing”, is a hit, but Jenna’s role as the judge everyone loves to hate causes Jack to question the show’s family value. Much to his chagrin, Tracy’s usual antics fail to aggravate Liz, while Kenneth takes the day off to do his dream chores as he awaits the Rapture.

  1. Wow, Seven have literally the three of the four best comedies on television with Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock and Happy Endings (along with Ten’s Modern Family), yet they have no idea how to schedule any of them.

  2. @ tomothy I agreee!! I would not pair Rafters and Revenge! Revenge deserves an 8:30 timeslot. I alos would have paired it with DH, but maybe 7 are starting Revenge in a new pairing rather than DH which finished this year!

  3. Happy Endings is back Hooray 🙂

    @ Goonies Yes it is out of order as this will be Ep 4 Max’s possible coming out ep and we have seen more than 4 episodes!

  4. I hope Seven put Downton Abbey on Sunday 8.30pm I just hope they don’t put it against Sherlock or vice versa with Nine. It’s only 9 episodes including the Christmas Special. And Sherlock is only three. It also would mean nine less repeats of Bones which won’t hurt it. If Nine does put Sherlock on in February then they could wait ’til later. I wonder if Nine will.

  5. Seven should have ditched Home and Away for 2012 and just gone with the much cheaper option of Imported How I met your Mother episodes.Those disgusting River Thugs are living proof of why the Nine Sitcoms at 7pm were doing so well these last two years.

  6. Are they just never going to air It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia ever again? Two seasons behind, Seven! What a joke, how Australian TV in general treats decent comedies.

  7. @alex, clear to see after that comment why you’re a 2.5 Men fan. 2.5 Men & Big Bang are popular, doesn’t make them good. But Nine put them on at a decent time, and the audience for those shows match Nine’s demos perfectly.

    Some people don’t need to be told when to laugh. 30 Rock and Modern Family are the 2 best comedies on tv. New Girl prob the best new one, none need a laugh track to be funny.

    HIMYM is hugely popular in Australia, sadly Seven treat it like crap so it doesn’t get the numbers it deserves. If Seven had put it on early and been consistant it’s numbers would have grown. Just like 30 Rock, cos of Seven’s treatment, i don’t watch HIMYM on 7 either

  8. HIMYM is a big mistake at 9.45 Mondays. That will be short lived and moved to a 7.30 slot once MKR finishes.

    Can’t wait for 30 rock whatever the timeslot.

    @ muchoTB DA should be Sunday night at 8.30 where it did so well last year but it looks like that Bones owns the slot so maybe Monday is a realistic alternative.

  9. @ JB it’s not that Seven don’t like comedies it’s just that they don’t like stupid single camera no laugh track comedies ala 30 Rock and Arrested Development etc hence the late timeslots. Same goes for How I Met Your Mother, tryhard to the extreme. I don’t think that has rated anything near decent ever since it began, hence the terrible timeslots.

    As for Nine’s comedies, Two and a Half Men and Big Bang are two of this country’s most popular high rating comedies so I don’t know how you can say Nine has crap comedies. It’s Ten that has the crap comedies, that is why they beat the cringeworthy Modern Family any day.

  10. This why I don’t watch 30 Rock on Seven. 11.30 for one of the best comedies?? And Happy Endings 10.30 as well?? Stupid Seven. Like APM said Seven really don’t like comedies. How I Met Your Mother at 9.45 is pretty bad too. Nine is crap and has crap comedies, but at least they put them on at decent times.

  11. Oh yeah, that’s right, they still also have to slot Downton Abbey

    that will probably air at 8:30 Mondays then, unless they decide to hold it for some weird reason

  12. Grey’s at 8:30 Thursdays? How derivative.

    Where the heck are they going to put Revenge and Once Upon a Time? I’m thinking they’ll shift that ‘Please Marry My Boy’ turd to 9:30 Tuesdays, leaving 8:30 Mondays and 8:30 Wednesdays as potential timeslots

  13. @tomothy – Because the Kate Walsh (Addison) openings for each episode are truly painful… really really truly painful believe me. I have lost interest as a result.

    @Doreen – Are you serious? Get rid of Addison and yes maybe…

  14. Happy Endings, at 10:30?! Seven aren’t a fan of comedies are they, they often play them that late and even later. surely the comedies they own can be played on 7mate in primetime and replayed a week later in a late slot on Seven?!

  15. Wow, what’s with Private Practice being shoved into 10:30pm again? It would have been better suited to 9:30, and then pair Revenge with the final season of Housewives on a Monday night rather than the reality rubbish they have planned.

    At the moment I am seeing Revenge following Rafters on a Tuesday which doesn’t pair very well at all. Two very different styles of drama, two different audiences too most probably. Otherwise it may be Wednesday 8.30pm Revenge, 9.30, Criminal Minds.
