supernatural_3Good News Week could prove to be bad news for fans of Supernatural tonight, given that TEN has just extended the former by another 30 minutes tonight.

It’s the second time recently that TEN has made a late change on these shows. Last time viewers were pretty agreed the jokes on GNW were too good to cut.

The Late News moves to 11pm and Letterman to 11:45pm.

  2. I hate GNW, the jokes are horrible!! Supernatural and Letterman is the only good things on 10 I look forward to now that the Office & Dexter is gone!!

  3. I am really enjoying this seasons Supernatural…. the story is wonderful … but I do hate having to sit thru the rubbish on GNW…… I find some of the ‘jokes’ and comments very distasteful .

  4. I’m sick of going to bed late cause GNW always always runs overtime. I love Supernatural. But GNW is just a stupid show. People say its funny. All it is is a bunch of people sitting around telling bad jokes forcing the audience to laugh and dumbing them down. I thought GNW was cancelled a few years ago. Do we need stupid reality tv so badly in this country we have to be forced to watch this crap.

  5. There seemed to be a helluva lot of ads during GNW – No wonder TEN’s happy to have deluxe episodes if it can sell the space so easily. 🙂

  6. Having watched GNW for the first time in ages tonight I really enjoyed it. Dont like supernatural so cant comment, but an ocassional 90 min ep is never bad if they let people know. This short notice thing isnt good.

  7. I’m getting kinda sick of it. 9-40pm, is late enough as it is for a Monday night anyway. GNW does not own the tv, although they apparantley, they think do. GNW usually, always overruns 10 minutes….that’s enough!

    GNW does not need an extra 30 minutes. I personally think GNW has gotten too big for their own good. KIt’s pretty unfair to the other shows. I say get over yourselfs GNW, sure it’s funny. but…really? What makes this okay?

  8. i am glad SPN is on Ten, and it is suited to the Ten Network – i want it to stay on the Ten network, i just wish it was on another night with another show at a better time.

    When it went from going up against Desperate Housewives to something else awhile ago, the ratings went way up…now with it being up against Brothers and Sisters and after Desperate H/wives and with the times all screwed up, what chance does it have? It has big potential, – The US proved that with this Season. i just want it to be able to reach it here.

  9. I just set the recorder to 2 hours to get Supernatural. I used to Love GNW in it’s last incarnation but I find this show lacking – notably… Variety acts

  12. I enjoy Good News Week and as I am now back from interstate this extension is nowhere near as upsetting as last time when my tape missed the last 20 plus minutes of Supernatural.

    Not sure if fully extending Good News Week on a permanent basis is definitely the right way to go though because unless the guests are really entertaining the concept will fall completely flat and viewers may not bother to stay the distance.

  14. I reluctantly gave up on FTA Supernatural this year after missing taping the end of an early episode despite setting the program for significant overrun..waiting for the DVD now.

    They should be careful about letting GNW bloat regularly, that’s one of the reasons it died last time, pushing its luck. Sure the occasional show may be wall-to-wall gold, but better to leave the audience wanting more than flogging the concept to death…oh hang on what am I saying? it’s commercial telly, of course they’ll flog it to death.

  15. OMG! you gotta be kidding me …why this happening from ten! I can’t stand GNW and alway overtime and getting sick of it. Wish supernatural start 8.30pm timeslot last year and why not this year!

  16. No offence to anyone but i just cannot stand GNW – it is just in no way shape or form my sense of humour however Supernatural is my all time favourite show and has never been given a good chance to rate well by Ten.

    While i am grateful for them showing it at all i just wish the night for Supernatural could change…i don’t feel GNW and Supernatural are fitted well together and i hate staying up that late when i have to get up early for work.

    I seriously hate it even more when i have to sit through GNW waiting for SPN to start so thank you for letting us know.

    Not happy but being the fan i am of SPN, i will still tune in even though i have seen these episodes before because Ten took so long to show them.

  17. I hate this. I love GNW but i also love Spooks and Brothers and Sisters. I can only watch one and record one. Me mum always records Good News Week so i’ve missed out on Spooks.

  19. after last time i made my over-run finish at 11:10, but i still might shove it back to 11:20 when i get home just to be sure, knowing my luck then i’ll miss the start of 30 rock instead.

  20. thanks for the heads up – looking forward to both…. glad that I know though – unlike with seven putting scrubs on before Heroe’s last week, what was up with that??? missed the end of a finally good episode!

  21. Ten should make this a permanent change, its a good performer and holds it audience right through to the end. It would be worth it and help prop up Mondays even more.Supernatural does exactly the same figures at 10pm that it does at 9.30.

  24. I was at the taping of Good News Week and agree. There weren’t many ‘bad’ jokes. They were pretty good. Frank Woodley is a funny character

    And expect a few Micahel Jackson jokes
