[Bombers_Forever]

Channel 7's Sunday line up is rubbish.

So it looks like Idol has officially tanked- can't wait to see Grey's Anatomy spank it tonight in the ratings.

Can't wait until Wednesday with Air Crash Investigations.

[ElwoodRoo1]

How's the ABC's ratings compared to last year, they seem to be very low, must admit I rarely watch the ABC anymore.

I wondered where that had gotten to...

 

[Drummond]

There is one thing that frustrates me more than anything. Why don't the channels show movies on Sunday night?!? I always feel in the mood to watch a movie late on a Sunday, yet they always show stupid crime shows.

 

[sportznut]

Blame Channel 10 for that.

All of the commercial stations used to show movies on Sunday night until 10 began experimenting with Law And Order and NCIS etc. And it worked so well, that of course 9 had to do it with CSI, CSI Miami and Cold Case. Not sure what on earth 7 is doing.

What really annoys me at the moment is certain stations (you know who you are Channel 7) re-running shows over and over and over again so soon after they've been shown the first time, while all the time they've got unseen shows that they refuse to put on or they put them on at midnight.

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

I Like the way 'Snrub' thinks!

i miss the times when you could choose between various movies for Sunday night. Now its off to the DVD store or a world movie on SBS.

Now its either Reality, Cop shows with kiddie rapists or some pommy rubbish..

 

[Bombers_Forever]

When we get rubbish over the summer, we can thank DVD's and the fact most series are now available by season.

I enjoy the non-ratings period

 

[prince of darkness]

next tuesday will be great with a return of bosco in third watch at 8.30 on 9 followed by denny crane on boston legal at 9.30 on 7.

the long haired ambulance chick in third watch is jack bauer's latest squeeze in 24.

 

[JUBJUB]

When we get rubbish over the summer, we can thank DVD's and the fact most series are now available by season.

There's actually some good shows returning over summer - Third Watch,Arrested Development,That 70's Show,Boston Legal and ch9 have finally decided to show the final season of Spin City [11.30am after the 3rd test finishes].It's only 3 and a half years after it finished.

[stmookeyj]

Why were those shows wrong?

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Frasier won! Great result- up yours 9, see it does rate.

 

[JUBJUB]

1. Frasier - 1.774

Good to see
A shame ch9 dragged it out for 18 months.

The final episodes were very funny.In fact,the final 2 seasons had some great episodes.

I loved last weeks episode which featured Stephen Root as 'Harbin'.
And then there was his 'mom'.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

I am getting the Frasier DVD's to watch over the summer.

 

[Russian]

Why were those shows wrong?

Idol, DWTS didn't finish on time so they're for the scheduled timeslots not when they were actually on

Can't A Current Affair take a break during the one day cricket in January? I am sick of missing the opening 5-10 overs (usually where most of the action happens).

How did Brainest Comedian outrate everything on Thursday night?

 

[Alkaline]

Russian you reckon you could get the stats for Friday. I would think Nine would have won that because of the cricket.

What's replacing it ?

Australian TV has officially scraped the bottom of the barrell and completely given up.
