Hey, great to see the old eBlah! back! I use to love this board.

Hope this is helpful.

Great post smurf, to start off the TV section - congratulations!

Hey guys,

Nice to see eBlah! back at eBroadcast.

Fans of Crossing Jordan and Las Vegas should keep an eye out for a special cross-over event airing Thursday October 6. "What Happens In Vegas Dies In Boston" will air for an hour at 8.30pm.

Seeya,

An interesting experiment is happening on Channel Nine in Melbourne this Monday.

With the AFL Brownlow Medal starting at 8pm, Nine have tinkered with their lineup mix for the evening:

5pm Price Is Right
5.30pm Temptation
6pm News
6.30pm ACA
7.00pm The Alice

If successful, could this be the shape of things to come in the big battle between National Nine News And Seven News? It's all about the 5.30pm lead-in.

cheers,
G.

You're absolutely spot-on there G.

The AFL Football Grand Final TV Coverage will be as follows, EST:

8:00am     GRAND FINAL BREAKFAST 2005
10:00am     GRAND FINAL DAY FROM THE MCG 2005

....could this be the shape of things to come in the big battle between National Nine News And Seven News...

I thought Peter Hitchiner's bulletin has been doing quite well for Nine down south, granted, there are nights when it would seem Seven News has come close to challenge Nine News' supremacy.

Quoted from smurf

OK, Ten have today cancelled The 4400, at least from Tuesday nights.

NOOOOOO! I was really enjoying that show! WHY MUST THEY DO THIS EVERY TIME I FIND A GREAT TV SHOW?! Does anyone know if its coming back?

How Come we've got a new Messageboard? I was in Hospital for Three Agonising Weeks and you've changed boards without telling me? How COme? And when's Everwood going to come back because There's still a long way to go in Season 2 and Nine took the show off Saturday Afternoons replaced by boring The Alice Reruns. Nine Saturday Afternoon Lineup has to be Fixed now.

Ten's new Aussie medical drama, The Surgeon, will debut 9.30pm Thursday October 13th.

This one is abit different in that it goes for only 30 minutes, once a week, and has a top cast including Justine Clarke, Sam Worthington, Matthew Newton and Nicholas Bell.

It will be followed by '30 Days' at 10pm, a docu-reality show by Morgan Spurlock, the maker of the hit doco Super Size Me. Spurlock and his fiance Alex take a new challenge when they leave their New York lifestyle and work on the minimum US wage of $5.15 per hour, for 30 days.

For all you Apprentice Fans out there season for starts on Tuesday, 4 October, 2005 channel 9 at 10.30pm.

TV Stations can be careless Sometimes, They take off shows which don't rate well in Primetime and benched it and never Return or until Summer  for a limited run and maybe air it in the Daytime if lucky.

Whats with Oprah at the moment? They are repeating shows that were only on a few months ago!

There's big news for 7th Heaven Fans if you got Foxtel or Austar Digital, Season 8 of the show Premieres tonight (October 4) at 7:30p.m. on FOX 8. 2 hours later on Timeshift.

Yeah its great that 7th heaven is back on, at least on foxtel/austar.
We will finally get to see the rest of season 8!!!
It good to see newer episodes again.

Also, The OC season 1 is on Foxtel and Austar on ARENA, Wednesdays at 9.30pm.

But bad for Charmed Fans is that Ten has Removed the show from Friday Nights. What? Why? Charmed was getting back on Track on Ten then Suddenly Ten Yanked it again, I know what's wrong with Ten's lousy Friday Night Schedule, they're going to put annoying Simpsons Repeats in Charmed's Timeslot on October 14.

If Nine is Ever going to Revive airing it's Forgettable Drama Series Smallville (which Currently Third with Adults 18-49 in the US and airing on Thursday Nights at 8p.m./7p.m. Central on The WB), they'll have to air 2 Episodes Late at Night this Summer to see if they can get an audience.

Yeah i think they should bring back the 7.30 Gilmore Girls/Smallville Saturday Line up on Channel 9 and 7th Heaven at 6.30 on channel 10.

I've Found out that over in the US that the WB's New Thursday line up of Smallville and Everwood are doing better on Thursday Nights. Last Week Smallville was the WB's most watched show in the Ratings. Maybe Nine are Starting to think about Reviving Smallville and airing the show twice a week and into Season 3 because Nine are yet to play the rest of Season 2, In January Last Year Smallville was on Saturday Nights at 8:30p.m. but Failed to get an Audience and looks like now Nine could air Smallville out of Primetime.

That would be great. We loved Smallville - yet another program to just disappear "without a trace", like Charmed and others.

any1 know what is going to replace neighbours in summer

PLEASE let it be a Brainless American Sitcom! Meanwhile, I would love to see King Of Queens replace Temptation over summer - that is, if they are taking a break.

King Of Queens will probably return it has been at that 7pm timeslot in Summer every year  

The Nanny, Seinfeld and Becker have all failed in the 6.30pm Summer timeslot, so i'm kinda wondering what Ten will replace Neighbours with during the holiday period.

Ten should Give an One Hour Drama a try in the 6:30p.m. Timeslot during the Summer while Neighbours takes a Break. Would we see 7th Heaven on a Weeknight again and Network Ten has to fix up it's Friday Night at 7:30p.m. Problems with annoying Simpsons Repeats, Ten has to Resurrect either 7th Heaven or One Tree Hill to air on Friday Nights to break the Curse.

hi everyone

7 are probably not going to bring back MRR next year because of the high production costs, lower ratings and therefore less advertising dollars

Joey and Two & A Half Men return on 9 Monday November 28

Channel 9:
Sunday 27th on Nine

8.30 Midsomer Murders
10.50 Midsomer Murders (rpt)

Monday 28th on Nine

8.30 Analyse This (rpt)

Tuesday 29th on Nine

8.30 Third Watch
9.30 Wife Swap

this is from tvaus.com  

I really hope Channel 7 bring back Scrubs and Malcolm in the Middle will be continue to be shown on saturday on 9 during the ratings season. They are two absolute gems which I think the networks seemed to have unnoticed.  

It would seem this week is the last week for Malcolm in the Middle. To be replaced by Australia's Funniest Videos. GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! Do we really need to see endless people getting hit in the head/face/balls with various things, people falling over, people crashing into things, all with a stupid voice over guy? Honestly, Channel 9, if oyu won't even try, give Malcolm in the Middle to Channel 10. As has been proven with Smallville and OC, they might perhaps be able to pull in the ratings.

And Scrubs. Yes! Bring it back! And in a decent time slot. People won't watch it if you don't advertise it and then move the show to late night because it doesn't rate! You did it to Futurama, and it seems to be going fine on 10, again, give this show to 10.

Everyone loves (ten)  

Does anybody know when will Ten air One Tree Hill again Possibly in a Late Night Slot?

I doubt it would happen any time soon. The ratings on primetime were worse than programmes which air in early morning timeslots. However the first season DVD set is out this week.

Ten has to work something out, they can't just leave it Hanging on.

Quoted from Jellyman32000

Ten has to work something out, they can't just leave it Hanging on.

ya got any basis for that, or just the fact you want to see it?

As a fan of monk,nypd and that 70s show im continually left hanging on.

I'm a fan of That 70's Show too.

I urge to ring Network 10 ask for Programming and get them to air One Tree Hill to air on Wednesday Nights at 11:05p.m. once Blind Justice is Finished.

Channel 10 don't have a contact number,I tried awhile back and couldn't find one.

I found it, try looking under Channel Ten

You don't say

Well maybe they have one now,but a year or so ago they didn't have one listed..

We don't have a programming news thread so I thought i'd kick start one with the latest scheduling from Seven.

Grey's Anatomy returns Monday June 19 9:30pm following Desperate Housewives.

24 returns Wednesday June 21 9:30pm with a 2 hour premiere. There will be 2 more episodes following Lost on Thursday June 22 9:30pm. From this point onwards 24 will screen twice a week in the Wednesday 9:30 timeslot and Thursday 9:30 timeslot.

My Name Is Earl and How I Met Your Mother premiere Wednesday June 21. Beyond Tomorrow has been scrapped with HIMYM taking the 7:30 timeslot and MNIE the 8:00 timeslot.

So just to clarify, the new Seven line-up for Wednesdays will be:

7:30 How I Met Your Mother
8:00 My Name Is Earl
8:30 Prison Break
9:30 24

Thanks go to Mediaspy for the news!

Doesnt Prison Break only have a week or two left to go?

Quoted from tiger_tim

Doesnt Prison Break only have a week or two left to go?

This week's episode is titled "Bluff" which is the fifth last episode.

Is there anyway that Network Ten would Bring back One Tree Hill becuase Fox 8 has catched up to us and we've only shown 10 Episodes of the Series with so many episodes unaired, So i Suggest that OTH would air in the The OC's Timeslot from Mid-July.

Does this mean that when Desperate Housewives finishes Grey's Anatomy will move to 8.30 and start competing with supernatual?

(Like Prison break and House.....grrr )

Quoted from adrainreloaded

Grey's Anatomy returns Monday June 19 9:30pm following Desperate Housewives.

What about "Commander In Chief"? Probably get pushed to 10:30. I actually like CIC!
Not hard to predict the Wednesday changes though. "Grey's" probably would rate higher on Sundays at 8:30 p.m. It can face "CSI" as ABC just moved it to compete against "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" for the new US fall season. The latter episodes of season two of "Grey’s Anatomy" were a ratings powerhouse in the US..

Never. OTH will maybe rate 500 000 people. Ten are not THAT stupid.

Try a 1am timeslot after BB Uplate finishes.

mmm, commander in chief cant have many more eps to go after it was canned the USA, only 19 eps were ever made and ABC in the US is currently burning off the remaining few eps in the summer non ratings period, shame, it wasnt a bad show!  I thought 7 might have used Greys or something to prop up Sunday nights..

The New Adventures Of Old Christine is being promoted as "coming soon" to Nine.

Who is in that show?

I remember she was on letterman recently but can't recall who it was..

Anyway it looks good hope it does well for nine.

Quoted from fajo

Who is in that show?

Julia Louise-Dreyfus (Elaine from Seinfeld)
