having just said that…I saw an ad for it last night while watching 90210…oh lol. but its still true…but this is only one promotion ad….if we see more..I’ll be shocked to the bone. I think Ten are worreid that people may actually watch something if they promote something…oooh…

and as for GNW, I would of thought it would of been more of a Friday night show then a Monday night show, they could easily have 90210 on before Supernatural.

I think I know what you mean, I was hoping to watch Torchwood uninterrupted this year, but instead they moved it to HD straight away, I didn’t even get the chance. ( as not everyone here has, you might be lucky if you have foxtel, but again…not everyone has that either ten. )
Plus its coming onto the non-rating period as well. Which is kinda annoying for me, because this will be one reason if Supernatural doesn’t rate. and if that happens, they’ll either take it off completly, or just won’t play it uninterrupted. Also, Ten needs to promote it properly! It’s on in about 6 days, and I haven’t seen one single promotion ad for Supernatural…which makes me think if ten even cares for it. But if ten did promote it, and promote it properly and well and took care of the show, for the credit it deserves….I’m sure they could get more people into it I’m sure. If people don’t know. they aren’t going to care are they?

I don’t know whether Supernatural being back is a good thing or not. I love it. It’s one of my favourite shows but if I know channel 10, it won’t be around for long. I was hoping to watch it uninterrupted and with 10, I know that’s not possible.

And 90210 on Friday? I’m not exactly boo-hooing about it being moved but do 10 know what they’re doing moving it? First, the move to Friday nights. Next, it’s pulled off completely. If they want it to rate better, putting it on Friday isn’t doing it any favours.

I don’t get why this bloody Good News Week is on before Supernatural though. They make Supernatural out to be a super-violent and gory show. It’s not. Sometimes it’s a bit violent but it’s not scary. If GNW didn’t go overtime EVERY SINGLE TIME I wouldn’t have a problem but I’m sick of missing the ending when I tape Supernatural because 10 can’t end on time!

I have to admit…I was a bit annoyed at first knowing that Supernatural would be moved to a 9-30pm time slot the week after the premiere week. But considering it doesn’t air until 9pm in the US, its not really that bad. I also can’t remember for the life of me what time Supernatural usually shows on ten anyway…. I’m also not sure what the ratings have been for Supernatural…But here’s hoping they can only get better.

There is defintally going to be some 90210 fans dissapointed by the Friday night change… ( eg..My sister, my best friend and my mum…just to start off with. ) I say this very lightly though because we all love Supernatural as well…so…you have made us happy there…………..( especailly me…) . Just to confuse us all again…..You wouldn’t consider changing 90210 to a Thursday night by any chance? Maybe not….I’m not even sure whats on Thursday nights anymore. I am thinking of what your usual teen drama nights use to be
( eg: for Dawson’s Creek…which use to be on a Thursday night, 90210 may do better for Thursdays? -shrugs- )

My god, no way I love supernatural especially Jensen Ackles (Dean) as he is so funny for his character and his brother (sam) is very serious. Can’t wait Supernatural is back for 4th season on Monday 6 October and thank you Channel 10. Great and looking forward watching it. Please keep the ratings going!!

Wasn’t supernatural ratings worse than what 90210 is getting now? Putting supernatural on friday would have been a better idea i think, then not many people would be confused.

Why not put supernatural on a tues or weds night????????
I think moving 90210 to Friday nights is horrible idea. That means it wont be fast tracked from the US as it will put us almost 2 weeks behind in episodes which is unfair and the ratings will drop off dramatically.. The show isnt designed for young kids at home on a friday night…
It is a really bad idea, which i am very annoyed about!!!

Well I’m looking forward to Supernatural coming back on, but I do have to agree with Clarrisani as well – as a consequence of Supernatural’s return, TEN have yet again burned the Torchwood and Burn Notice fans…typical!

I never said 90210 got low ratings. I said they would drop once moved to Fridays, as would most shows when moved to the death slot. Although, I reckon 90210 will outrate Supernatural once it moves to the post-GNW slot

Disagree with you CJ and RichoTB. 90210′s audience is so niche that the “low” ratings that you are referring to are actually the shows core audience. They will adjust their viewing with the show. Worse case scenario, it will come back to around 600k-650k with Next Top Model as the lead in.

Of course 90210 will lose viewers when it gets shoved in the Friday night death slot. You’d find the same thing would happen to almost any show. As for how SN does when it comes back, we’ll see. It’ll probably do around 900,000 when it premieres, but will tank after a couple of weeks.

Alex, it is hard to leave a low rating show on the air because contrary to popular belief, commercial television networks are not a community service, but a business and they have to make money from advertising. If a show is not rating, then no advertiser will pay money to advertise…so it has to go. Would any business keep producing or marketing a product if it is not selling and making money? Television networks are no different than any other business.

It’s not that complicated.

Originally it was 90210 at 8:30 with Burn Notice at 9:30.

Apart from a few interruptions, that’s been consistent.

Now 90210 isn’t performing, so Good News Week and Supernatural are being moved in, the double that did well earlier in the year. As it’s still a week until new eps of Good News Week are available, and to give Supernatural the best chance possible, they’ve gone with a double Supernatural to start at 8:30 before it goes into its regular timeslot of 9:30.
