Torchwood finalled last week 11/9 – the last ep where Jack “disappears” lines up with Doctor Who ep of 8/9 (yep TEN strikes again and doesn’t coordinate that well with Who of course).

So unfortunately we are all going to be going through TW withdrawals.

we even had torchwood nights where we’d get together and bliss out saturday with the doctor and monday torchwood
now after three weeks of withdrawal my mate from work told us its playing midnight, what lunacy is ten managed with. if you cant hold a show give away to those who can, at least the abc gives the theme its place for the fans.

What are you thinking? There is so little Sci Fi on TV, let alone one with actors that can actually act that combines elements of Comedy, Fiction, Romance, Sex, Thriller and Action. It really is a crime to re-timeslot this program. I suppose it is to be expected, after all heaven help us if some other far superior program got bumped from prime time like dare I say it, The Wedge, or worse still, Neighbours. You finally had a reasonably good Sci Fi program and you dumped it. Very Disappointing. Torchwood Bumped! What are you thinking?

I am so amazed by the support that is being shown here for Torchwood and even more thrilled to find that I am not the only person who thinks like I do … something MUST be done about these incompetant fools at the Networks.

It is time they learn that they are behind the times and out of touch with viewers and that the current Ratings system is no longer capable of measuring the true viewer preferences let alone be the bible for all their decisions!

I just read 47 comments left by people and only one was glad Torchwood was axed.
This is the 5th tv show to be axed/ or moved time slots because…. well I don’t actually know because no one’s stated anything that I’ve read or heard other than the “low viewers” crap!

First Torchwood, Smallville (what the hell happened to that?), Veronica Mars (moved timeslots then disappeared without warning!), Surface (it disappeared too!) and Threshold (that showed like 6-8 episodes maybe then bye bye)

I’m so sick of this happening, thank god for the internet and tv series on dvd!!!

Channel 10 go see the wizard and GET SOME F***ING BRAINS!!!!

Six Feet Under, Veronica Mars, now Torchwood... I never know when my favourite shows are going to be on. COMMIT TO A TIME SLOT ALREADY. Fair enough if a show is only likely to have a cult audience (like Jeremiah), AT LEAST PICK A TIME AND STICK TO IT. If there is no possible way to keep a show in its regular slot, at least let viewers know that it is moving. There was no advisement (that I saw) that Torchwood was moving. Because there was that Jesus' Tomb special on, I just assumed it was off for a week for a special program and would be back next week (something TEN hopelessly did often with Supernatural), and I missed last week's episode. How are viewers supposed to commit? Especially to shows where you need to see every episode or you get lost? What is it with Australian tv?
