Ok this is a schedule that is not pretty.
Unless you are into Sport and Factuals, Nine does not have much on offer aside from the Schools Spectacular special.
It’s a bit of a shame that the week after they switch to High Definition on the primary channel there is very little to embrace it, aside from the Cricket.

Unless you are a cricket fan (which I for one am not) this is disappointing. Especially after seeing Seven’s programming for the first week of Summer as it makes me wish it was them who were changing their primary channel to HD as at least something other than cricket would be aired in natural HD (I doubt very much Nine have splurged for the remastered copies of the Lethal Weapon franchise so it will only be an up-conversion). Thankfully I stockpiled a punch of shows this year on my IQ3 and my PVR otherwise this Summer would be unbearable.
Can’t help thinking that Nines programing team consists of White 40-something, privately educated males.
Only the cricket in this list of programming interests me. But watching the cricket in HD will be awesome.
Of course anything that airs after the cricket will be at random start times – if you are thinking of watching or recording Lethal Weapon 1,2 or 3 suggest you add an hour to your recording to accommodate the very likely chance that cricket will finish late each night. Better yet – buy the DVDs for around $5 each and watch without ads, watermarks, etc…
This is absolutely pathetic. Nine has given a huge “up yours” to the viewing public. No wonder they’ve always had a reputation for being arrogant.
It will be worth it if lethal weapon is in HD and not some copy thats been lying around for years and in its correct aspect.
This reminds me that I haven’t watched the P!nk live in Australia recording from New Year’s Eve yet. Maybe I’ll record it again and watch in HD. Not much else of interest there.
Definitely is worth a watch or multiple, Belinda :)
I find License to Kill is always worthwhile
My second favourite Bond movie….
I film I believe still hasn’t gotten the credit it deserves.
Let’s hope the cricket doesn’t finish early. If this isn’t pretty than I fear what the back up programming will be.
Looked through Nine Perth TV guide and noticed that Matt & Kim to the Rescue will be on Sunday straight after the news.
Gonna be a very long summer of crappy repeats.
And people ask why I have ABC News 24 on most of the time….*yawn*
My default channel news24
Boring as batshit.
Lethal weapon…the movie that Nine trots out when they don’t give a s**t
Oh my god there three lethal weapons on three consecutive nights? Lol are they serious? That has made my week and it’s only Monday!
You’re being sarcastic – right?
I’m not surprised. Their schedule during ratings has been pretty pathetic. Its not like its going to improve during non ratings.
I second that. Although, this must be a summer first for Nine…no Big Bang repeats in primetime.
predictable boring start to summer programs on the 9 Network
Cricket ball should be pink not red ;)
The Red/Pink/White/Polka Dot battle isn’t over yet.
Boring!
It’ll be interesting to see what 9life brings.
If that’s what’s on nine maybe nine life may need resuscitation before during and after launch
