Bumped = moves timeslots. It’s shifting to 8pm Wednesdays.

What I have amended is another story that had Bumped for Balls of Steel, Playboy Mansion which should have read Gone.

Just a tad confused here. You’ve put Bumped for Medical Emergency but then stated that it’ll air at 8pm on Wednesday so technically shouldn’t that be moved?

I hope it is on at 8pm – I was looking forward to seeing the installments at St George Hospital.

yeah i thought it was doing pretty well but then i wasn’t comparing it to the other stations in that timeslot, i was just seeing that it was getting close to 1m and usually such shows are safe. is the rspca going to be new episodes? if it is repeats no thanks.

Not that I watched the show, but I reckon in a few years, a show in that timeslot getting what UB gets in the ratings will be seen as doing extremely well.

I hate most reality shows, Apart from things like Mythbuster, Scrapheap and those Air Crash shows.

Plus I’m almost done with this season of UB anyway as ch7 was not “Fast Tracking” it in September.

awesome I love the shows that are replacing stupid betty I watch fire 000 and search and rescue so and I won’t stop watching those so it looks like my foxtel iq will be getting more of a workout although I would have thought that seven would have been satisfied with 947,000 for a stupid American sitcom

As a fan of the show I am very disappointed. I just don’t understand why people prefer to watch Fire 000 and Search & Rescue over UB.
Of the Beautiful Sunday lineup that was launched with fanfare last year, What About Brian was cancelled after one season, Grey’s Anatomy is struggling against CSI, Australia’s Got Talent has moved to another day (Tuesday) and is rating well after a slow start. As for Ugly Betty? Well, we can blame the launch of Robin Hood and Big Brother 14 months ago for the audience decline. Airing at the Sunday 7.30pm timeslot, UB buckled under pressure.

Shame about Ugly Betty. Oh well, looks like its time to turn to the internet again.

That’s a shame. It was good to have Ugly Betty, while most of the other US series have finished up their seasons. Having said that I’m the only one I know that still watches Betty.
Funny the way TV is going with Nine doing so well with their observational shows, that I never watch.

THIS is exactly why I got Foxtel.If a show isn’t doing well they pull it off the air or change it around till no-one can fins when it’s playing…it’s not fair!
gee let me think are they going to put on repeats of old british shows?
No wonder free to air stations are struggling…I will stick to Foxtel and my dvd’s from America…at least I will get to see the whole series.
