Seven has secured the rights to this new hit US show. Supposedly, it has kicked the competition in it's timeslot and is now honoured with crime shows such as CSI, Law and Order, and Numbers.

I'm taking a guess here but I assume Seven will bring it here by June maybe.

I've heard good things about this show.

The show has done quite well against "Lost" in the US. That may give Seven the idea of giving the Thursday 8:30 slot to "Criminal Minds" when "Lost" finishes its season.

I've seen the first few eps of this and its great! I loved it. Been hanging out for it to start here. Im glad channel 7 got it too!

This is all so confusing, lol. If Criminal Minds takes the place of Lost where will 24 and Alias go?

"24" could either return to its traditional Monday night or replace "Prison Break" since they are similar shows. As for "Alias" I doubt it will get a pre 10:30 slot as it is in its last season and has rated poorly in the US.

Yeah, I agree with you about Alias, but I still love it.

I don't want to have to wait till after Prison Break to see 24 though lol.

Channel 7 should replace Air Crash Investigations with 24. ACI is doing very poorly right now and there would be nice flow between PB and 24. Heck, they do the PB and 24 double in the US.

Yeah I completely agree with you. But I'd rather 24 take the premiere 8:30 pm timeslot and Prison Break follow. I like 24 more.

As do I but unfortunately 24 doesn't rate high enough to justify an 8:30 timeslot. Perhaps it is too American for Australian viewers or the fact that you cannot miss an episode of the show otherwise you would be completely lost with the plot. IMO it is a brilliant show and the fifth season is definitely no exception (ive watched the first 15 episodes so far) but I think Channel 7 will give it a 9:30 timeslot.

I have long been hanging out for a new Mandy Patinkin show. He is one of the greats in my opinion.

I have loved Mandy Patinkin as an actor since first seeing him "The Princess Bride". He was so suave and funny, taking himself so seriously. What a great actor.

Well, 24 rated around 1.3 million last year on Seven, due to extensive overadvertising, which i'm not complaining about btw , and Prison Break is only rating 1.27 million atm over here in Australia so I don't see why Seven can't give it an 8:30 timeslot.

Then again, I wouldn't complain if it was at 9:30 either, as long as Seven hurry up and bring it over here. I need my 24! And while they are at it, they should bring back Alias too.

And Criminal Minds is hopefully coming soon as well

Just saw an advert on Channel 7 for Criminal Minds starting July!

I love that show

CRIMINAL MINDS revolves around an elite team of FBI profilers who analyze the country's most twisted criminal minds, anticipating their next moves before they strike again. Special Agent Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) is the FBI's top behavioral analyst and he joins the Behavioral Analysis Unit lead by Special Agent Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson), a family man who is able to gain people's trust and unlock their secrets. Also on the team are Elle Greenaway (Lola Glaudini), an agent with a background in sexual offenses; Special Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), an expert on obsessional crimes; Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), a classically misunderstood genius whose social IQ is as low as his intellectual IQ is high; and Jennifer "JJ" Jareau, (AJ Cook), a confident young agent who acts as the unit liaison for the team. Each member brings his or her own area of expertise to the table as they pinpoint predators' motivations and identify their emotional triggers in the attempt to stop them.

This should be a solid performer for Seven. It’s a show that can have a versatile timeslot and Seven hasn't got too many procedural dramas.

He's my main reason for giving this show a go too.  I just hope it doesn't have too many bad things happening to children though.   Over the last five years I've really noticed an increase in violence or implied threats against kids in these cop/investigative shows that really turns my stomach.
