    Channel 9 should be ashamed of themselves. The gimmick in the US are that episodes are 50 minutes long with less ads. Channel 9 not happy with this, are editing the show so it can still fit into one hour with the same number of ads.

    This is disgusting and it is no wonder that people are being forced to download the shows from the US.

    I reckon Nine will stick with it for around 5 eps as well. After that they’ll probably move it, or maybe it will surprise us and be really successful against Criminal Minds and House.

    You know, as this is the first new show that is actually being reasonably fast tracked, i will be recording it on my IQ.

    I liked the pilot and so yeah, I can wait a week or so to watch.

    Ooh we should have a mini game to see how many episodes it will air in the same timeslot. My guess is 5.

    Better to watch these shows through downloads.

    After the hype and first or second episode, these new shows get moved to a “new special time”, then dropped or “rested” without notice.

    Downloads FTW!!!!!!11111

    Benno, I know exactly what you mean. I’ve been extremely dubious about watching it. It wouldn’t matter if it were on 7 or 10 either. They’d all do the same thing.

    I just wish there was an easier way to watch downloaded shows on my TV. You’re still too far away PS3.

    While we can be cynical you should be advising more people to watch it so it stays….

  13. Benno September 15, 2008 at 10:15 am -

    I would advise anyone to not watch it on ch9, as they will only be disappointed in a few weeks.

    well since i don’t watch any of those 9 shows that had the sneek peek i set up by PVR to catch these sneak peaks, last night i set it to record from 8:25-8:40. plenty of padding, or so i thought, went to watch it and discovered that channel 9 was running so damn late that i only caught 20 seconds of it and was cut off- utterly ridiculous, way to grab viewers 9! pack of idiots.

    Ive seen the pre-air pilot. This is an awesome show, but all the hype will just lead to disappointment.

  16. RichoTB September 12, 2008 at 11:55 pm -

    Get rid of it!! Its not like its going to be a hit against Criminal Minds and House!!

    Didn’t Pacey Witter grow up nicely? ;)

  18. Daniel G September 12, 2008 at 4:18 pm -

    Are each of these sneak peeks the same, or will they be different for each showing?

  19. Sephiroth_FF September 12, 2008 at 3:36 pm -

    More saturation. It’s too much. I had already planned on watching it before I even knew which network it was going to be on. I’m sure most people know about these shows before they’re announced here so channel 9 are just wasting money and time.

    I noticed that Nine were advertising the show on the Sci-Fi channel. Pretty smart move. Obviously they are dieing for people to watch it and wanting a big overseas hit on their hands. Either way, I’ll give it a few weeks before it’s put into a late night spot. Yet another show that shouldn’t be on Nine….

    This show looks soooo 1993.
