Good stuff. Don’t forget the Aussie Wipeout, The Mentalist and Battlefronts that Nine promised in their latest press release. I’m excited for TV in September, with Eli Stone, Knight Rider, My Own Worst Enemy, Life and Australian Idol premiering.
Done.
Maybe you should add My Own Worst Enemy, Knight Rider, and all those Aussie factual shows to Seven’s list as they said they’d air them this year here: http://tvtonight.com.au/2008/07/seven-unwraps-second-half-slate.html
On an unrelated note, its good to finally have some official confirmation that Eli Stone will be aired sometime this year.
i think we know that at least half of nines promised line up are gonna fail, along the same lines as power of ten, monster house, million dollar wheel
Sadly no word on Eli as yet.
Dancing should return after Olympics. Shane Bourne was last mentioned as possible host, but not confirmed.
when is eli stone coming
Do you know when dancing with the stars are coming back to network seven also do you know who will host the show
Cavemen premiered already so you might want to take that off Seven’s list. The only shows on this list I want to see are Eli Stone, Secret Diary of a Call Girl and the new Pussycat Dolls season. The pilot of Eli Stone was well-executed. Its just a matter of whether or not Seven will air it.
TEN HD has sci fi night back on Thursdays with new Jericho eps.
Generally speaking, networks send out info for about 2-3 weeks ahead of what’s screening. As readers of this site know, for big new premieres I always post news stories.
If you aren’t sure if you have missed news on a show there is also a search function on this site.
