Whether 90210 is your cup of tea or not, it’s disgusting that Channel 10 keeps stuffing around the very fans it needs to continue to show any soap. To build an audience you actually need to keep the audience by keeping a consistent timeslot. To axe, change or delay only after 3 viewings and then to have one more shown then dropping it will only alienate the very people that a station wants to keep loyal!

90210 isn’t the only show that this type of thing has happened to – and Channel 10 isn’t the only station that does this, it just happens to be the worse offender.

This is absolute rubbish on Channel 10’s part, can’t you just let a show stick around for a full season, instead of taking it off the TV without us seeing it properly!! It was like prison break, and now it’s finally back on!!

Pathetic Channel TEN!!

Just another reason we download most of the TV shows we watch. Get them quicker, no ads and no hassles like these. We hardly watch free to air TV these days. This is just one of the the reasons why.

As for Fast-Tracking, we’ll still see episodes a week earlier than free to air.

This is utter crap.. out of all the shows on T.V the one show that is aimed at a teen audience is canned and all you people saying that it is aimed at one age group who cares you get to watch all that dancing with the stars crap and the medical shows and stuff let us have one show that we can watch and in some ways more then others relate too…

I didn’t watch this but it just proves Ten’s unwilingness to stick with programs to see how they turn out. Some of the best and most successful programs have started out with cult viewings – Little Britain, Doctor Who… and look at them! At least Ten didn’t axe Flight of the Conchords, but putting it on in a random late Sunday night time-slot probably didn’t help its ratings.

My first experience with Ten ruining a program was Torchwood. They were unwilling to give Series One a chance, and now Series Two (which is so much better!) is on late on HD. And that, my friends, is what Amazon’s for…

what i mean to say is.
channel 10 and fox8. they have a deal with all their Fox type shows. plus most of their shows anyways. i know 90210 isn’t a fox show anymore. it’s a CW show. but so is supernatural, gossip girl and smallville, and they r all on fox8. what I’m saying is. would it be great if fox8 reinvented itself (yet again) to make it a more teen orientated network. i do watch my fair share of TV (and about 100 other peoples fair share too). fox8 is a good channel in the long run. i mean. animation domination, all those teens dramas. plus the adult dramas, like bones, and 24. and soon to come is dollhouse. which is supposed to be awesome. 90210 would go perfect on a tuesday night. with gossip girl the best years. and others. also another teen drama i like. friday night lights:). except IT’S SO DAM MOVEY. lol. but yeah. imagine it.
tuesday night. 7:30 = America’s next top model 8:30 = Gossip Girl 9:30 = 90210 10:20 = The Best Years

You are up against South Park and Bogan Pride on SBS.HOW CAN 90210 compete against that.

Lots of disappointment from viewers……The OC point is a good one. Nine found the same thing with Two & Half Men and Frasier.

One Tree Hill moved to Ten HD.

I am so annoyed at ten… can they not give TV shows a chance. I mean 5 episodes is hardly giving something a chance. The writers are still getting into the swing of things and the actors into the characters. Ten has a bad habit of pulling shows. I remember back a few years ago when ten picked up a new show called “The OC”… they did the same thing… aired a few eps and then pulled it because it wasn’t rating well enought and what do you know it was a great show after the actually gave it a chance. Ten to often say something will “return later in the year” and they never seem to return. Look at One Tree Hill… that has never seen the TV here and people have to buy it on DVD, or Charmed for that matter….. the final series never aired after it was pulled to “return later in the year” and if it did return I never saw one ad for it or one mention of it in TV week. Come on ten give new shows a chance and PULL YOUR HEADS IN.

I cant believe TEN would do this.

Its is the only drama on commercial tv that us teens can some what relate too.

I hope FOX 8 or another channel picks it up.

Yeah I must admit it did start out a bit boring for about the first 6 eps, but i almost always stick with a show until the end. Interestingly, the lowest rating episode, the second last one, was the best episode of the series.

Journeyman started out crap but really found its legs around episode 3. I liked it – but then it was axed. The story arcs like the FBI Agent finding out Dan’s ability were really well done.

Exactly Irastev, i find it difficult to name the least contemptuous network, as seven is easily up there with nine and ten. I purposely didn’t tune into journeyman when it was on in the summer, but ended up watching it through other means, and it was pretty good. Sure, it wouldn’t have given the ratings during ratings season here, but it was on in summer, so one would have expected that it would stay for the full season. Yes, it did move to HD, and i do have access to HD, but who is to know exactly what they will do with it.

Ron, any business that keeps treating its customers like Ten and Nine treat their audience would go belly up in no time. The customers will go elsewhere to satisfy their needs. That’s exactly what is happening now with our commercial television.

What was the last new scripted TV series from the US / UK that gave Ten a ratings victory? I wonder why. Personally, I haven’t tuned into a new series on Ten for a year, because I’d had enough of their spastic schedule and disregard for the viewers. That’s why I didn’t bother to tune into Californication, Women’s Murder Club, Burn Notice, Psych, 90210, Dexter… Although I enjoyed Dexter on DVD and am loving Psych which is now on the ratingless 10HD.

As far as 90210 goes, most of the pre-premiere buzz involved the members of the original cast. I wonder if CW didn’t send previewes because the public would realise that the original cast is not as prominent in the new show as CW has let everyone believe.

Seven fasttracked Bionic Woman at 8:30 last year, plus Heroes and Prison Break at 8:30 / 9:30. Heroes will be 8:30 next week. They have more local content early in the evening than the rest.

What else has been dumped on Ten?
And Seven have generally just bumped their fastracked stuff to late night yes?
