After announcing the changes to homeMADE on Wednesday, now Nine has rescheduled the second hour, which will run at 9:30pm on Tuesday June 16.
That means the line up is now:
7:30pm homeMADE
8:30pm Two and a Half Men (rpts x 2)
9:30pm homeMADE
10:30pm Embarrasing Illnesses rpt
As a result Victorian viewers will miss out on Kitchen Nightmares USA which had been airing there.
Over on its 9HD channel on the same night, Nine now has:
10:30pm The War at Home (series return)
11:00pm The Class (series return)
11:30pm Justice
Justice is the Jerry Bruckheimer produced legal drama starring Victor Garber and Kerr Smith.
There are also changes to Wednesday June 17th with a one hour RPA at 8pm and Cold Case at 9pm.
Can I just ask why all the complaining??? We have put up with foul mouthed Ramsey for long enough and for crying out loud we need to start supporting home grown shows. Sure maybe homeMADE is not everyones cup of tea, but if all you want to watch is some desperate American sitcom, then move to America!!! Aussie TV will never improve unless we support it, and bagging it out when you don’t even bother to try and like it is just low
@gerry:
Yeah the plants made me just switch to another channel because of just how horrendous it was.
The only ‘risks’ I’ve seen done is painting a nursery yellow, or something like that.
One bedroom which intruiged me was when they were putting the sheet music on the walls. However, since it didn’t get finished it didn’t look that great.
And when there was a clock put on the wall opposite the bed in one of the bedrooms which has been done.. WTF? You do not do that. Put a nice relaxing painting or something, because when you can’t get to sleep, having a clock in your view will most definitely make it harder to get to sleep.
@ George,
Yeah I saw the bathroom sink in the kitchen – what were they thinking?
In that same kitchen they also put conifer plants on top of the cupboards!
Another disappointment was Matt’s winter lounge. it was so “normal.”
For this show to be successful, the designers need to pull out some serious over-the-top ideas. The whole point of the show is to show how a room could possibly look if you took risks, and the only major risk I have seen in the whole comp is Matt painting his bedroom black. That was really good, and it shows viewers that its okay to take risks, as the results can be great.
@gerry:
One week they had put these white tiles in a kitchen, but the tiles did not suit the room and looking at it gave me a headache. And they had put a bathroom sink in the kitchen. Mistakes like that simply shock me, considering the way they’ve been hyped up so much.
@ George,
Yeah I got to agree that homeMADE can get quite frustrating. You’re right – $50 000 is a lot, and all they do is complain about the lack of money. Annie gets on my nerves the most – she exaggerates all the major problems; all the other contestants know it as well. I remember once that Matt said that Annie cracked it because the flowers were the wrong shade of purple!
Plus the ideas are getting a bit repetitive. I thought that each week the designs would get better and better, but that doesn’t seem to be happening. But their ideas are pretty good overall, nothing fantastic though.
@gerry
Don’t you ever get frustrated with homeMADE? I’m into interior design too (and architecture) and the way those people get so bitchy and can’t follow guidelines at all makes me really annoyed.
Seriously, you can do a lot with $50,000, yet they continually complain about budget constraints.
Some of the ideas that they have are ok, but the way they get executed is anything but nice in a lot of the designs I’ve seen on the show so far.
If the show toned things down a few knotches I’d probably be inclined to watch again.
they’re hardly going to screen a two hour block of a failing show!
I guess it was too hard for them to edit the show down to 1 hour a week *sigh*
He is.
Justice is a great show – although cancelled….
David can you please tell me if Michael Healy is still the Network Programming Director at Nine and if he is how the hell is he, and if Seven bring back PTTR soon then Nine could possibly drop below 20% of the share on Tuesday’s with this p*** poor lineup.
I agree. The scheduling @ channel is ridiculous. I agree that a 2 hour block would make more sense! Why not 8.30-10.30 and move another 2.5 men repeat an hour earlier.
Considering Ch9 is the 2.5 men and CSI x3 and mostly new show flops. I am not surprised people tune out. Having said that they may win the ratings this week….
Thanx 2 sport mostly…..
I am no T.V programmer but what in the hell is the logic behind having the first episode of homeMADE at 7.30pm, then the second at 9.30pm? The show is a dud so why would you cut off the audience (that it does have) like that, hoping that they come back an hour later and not find interest elsewhere, or go to bed?
But hey, these are the same programmers that have in the last 9 weeks on Channel Nine had the following different shows in the 9.30 Tuesday slot, and all of them have come a distant third to NCIS and 10 Years Younger..
20 to 1
Ramsay / Kitchen Nightmares
Underbelly Uncut (three weeks)
The wedding Crashers
Miss Congeniality 2
Good luck homeMADE……
What’s the point of the Two and a Half Men in between if there’s two episodes? :/
Agree with Andrew B. That line up seems great (obviously better than the one they have now)!
I actually watch homeMADE every time its on. I’m addicted to it. (cos I am an interior designer).
However, they should just show the eps back-to-back. Seems stupid to chuck Men in between. It will lose viewers after the first ep. Or, it could gain viewers for the second ep, just have to wait and see which one happens.
wow.
just when you thought nine couldn’t make their tuesdays any worse.
oh dear, desperate times…
I’ll be Captain Obvious today and say this schedule is really, really stupid. I highly doubt people are going to come back to homeMADE after an hour of Men repeats. And, echoing earlier comments, why don’t they put a show that they’ve yanked off in the 10:30 slot to keep some fans happy? It just reeks of stupidity.
I’ve tried watching homeMADE a few times, but I just cannot get into it. A lot of the designs they come up with just make me want to throw up. I try to watch the show with an open mind to see how they go with ideas/styles which I don’t really like, but they just make a lot of the rooms they renovate look tacky.
I reckon Andrew B’s idea is awesome. I’d totally watch Survivor and ER. I can’t stand watching Nine at all anymore because of them just oversaturating shows to try and get ratings.
Why not a ScFi hour like it used to be back in the good old days Channel 9
Yes bring back Survivor !!!!
Oh no!! this crap replaces Ramsay, why not just have a marathon night of HomeMade on Saturday night to burn them off.
How about Embarrasing Schedules?
Programming does not make sense at all. Two hour block better. Why keep 2.5 Men on at 8.30. Then again, Tue on 9 is pretty well dead air.
It’d be the night to put on all of the shows they’ve axed or are not showing for whatever reason. Here’s an idea (assuming HomeMADE bumped elsewhere):
7.30 Survivor.
8.30 ER
9.30 11th Hour
10.30 Fringe
11.30 News.
No repeats. All new shows. What is there to lose – their Tue night’s are so bad. These shows I suggest actually have fans and will rate.
Do I need to say that the best thing to come of this is an airdate for Embarrassing Illnesses?
Wher is survivor?
would have made more sense to just run it for two hours on tuesday, 7.30 to 9.30, better to have first run stuff in earlier slots then put repeated s*** later on if they need to
Embarrassing illnesses, eh? Did nine lose the key to the “shows yanked off the air for no good reason” cupboard?
i dont watch the show – but have seen snippets of it while ‘channel hopping’ on addbreaks from other channels. What i find funny about this show is that with regards to 2 of the male judges – it’s like a competition of who has the more retro/camp/funky glasses. Rubbish show.
Nine are completely out of new 2.5 men episodes for the next 3 months, it will be 9 repeats a week for the next season.
And I reckon it would make more sense to put HomeMade in a 2 hour block from 7.30-9.30pm, 2.5 men rates in every slot so pushing it back an hour isn’t too bad a move.
that is a stupid scheduel, i no home made is no hit, but wouldn’t it be better 2 play it from 7:30 – 9:30. Asking viewers to come back 1 hour later is just stupid. thank god for tens awsome tuesday
We were set to get “Fun with Dick and Jane” here in QLD, wonder which would rate worse?
