Thank you very much for your extremely comprehensive list of the programmes mentioned.
I will miss Specks and Specks. A very good and informative show. As for Eurovision, Australia Decides, I did read that there was a bit? of controversy over us being allowed to compete, seeing how we arnt in the EEC, but many of our citizens backgrounds are from there. I am not surprised that We Decide is not being included in the voting process. Having said that, I do watch the shows. (Mainly for song choices and which country wins).
There is always some pushback about Australia performing but while this is our last guaranteed year I’d be optimistic about it continuing, SBS is a longtime associate member of EBU.
I must have missed something. I didnt realise that this was our last year definate year. Its also good that Australia has come close to winning 1-3 times. Just cant remember who with.
Sucks about After the Verdict i really enjoyed it thought it was funny and thrilling with a good mystery but at least season 1 mostly wrapped up the story
Ten would be crazy no to do The Masked Singer, one of their better rated shows, bit I guess expensive
The judges carry on too much and are OTT
Baring in mind, all of this is purely my opinion, but…
Dancing, could work but it needs a season of all-new stars. But look to the world of social media for stars along with the normal fields. Judges and hosts, I could go either way on.
AGT, now with David Walliams stepped down from BGT, it will be interesting to see if we follow suit. But the show has probably had its day anyway.
Snackmasters seems to be at the end of the year anyway, so no surprise theirs no decision yet. But half expect it to become more like you Bake Off series. 6 chefs/kitchens, each week, a new snack, one by one, a group is eliminated until finally one is crowned “The Ulitmate Snackmaster.”
Loved The Traitors, so keen for it to come back, but will probably have a few tweaks this season.
The Masked Singer, great concept, could still work. Needs a refresh. Whilst probably impossible, would love to see it go live with an at home Audience vote counting for 50% of the result.
Not really surprised by most of the entries
Its a pitty Spicks N Specks isn’t coming back. It was great. I only wished they did new Specky Christmas shows.
I really hope 10 brings back The Amazing Race this year. Love that show and Beau is a great host. And I really like First Dates too. And I really hope 7 brings back Homicide with Ron Iddles (that was a very interesting show) and 9 brings back Snackmasters.
David, the local version of Kitchen Nightmares didn’t get the ratings 7 were after(re not doing new episodes at least for 2023)? Could it return in 2024?
Damn it! Kitchen Nightmares Australia was the one show I watched on 7. Sigh.
The show only began last year and did very well in the ratings.Certainly surprising by the decision,very strange
On the channel 7 Facebook page and Kitchen Nightmares Australia Facebook page saids its returning in 2023 and it is in the schedule slate
Unless it is a post in the last 3 weeks it has not been recommissioned for 2023. It was included in Upfronts late last year, but Seven appears to have had a change of heart.
No news on Holey Moley? Recent tiktok showed design firm testing one of the set pieces in a warehouse recently
Seven would consider it if the set was used by another international to offset the costs.
Thanks David… now I can free up my “to watch list” and not live in hope or anticipation. I’ll console myself with my “wait and see list”. Yep that’s entertainment for yuh.😂
Big fan of Amazing Race Australia but unfortunately last year’s version where each week was in the same country had me lose interest. But I guess when you’re stripping it for 3-4 episodes a week and are on a 10-level budget these decisions get made. Hopefully they can bring it back but renew the excitement factor. Also loved First Dates with Tommy Little as narrator, finding the 10 version to be very inclusive not just with sexuality but also age and disability. Hopefully it too gets a second (or third?) life.
Seven version also had same sex couples actually.
Yeah, I’m with you. They really burned the house down with that last season. So many poor decisions. Such a shame coz it lived up to its name with previous seasons on 10.
Is Fisk not coming back? I know the ending of the latest season could’ve been a series finale, but is that really the case for the ABC show?
Fisk isn’t listed as “not returning this year”. It’s being featured in “ABC ’23” promos.
