Awww crap. Just fired up the PVR to watch the Thank God You’re Here finale and it’s been totally trashed by freaking MJ re-runs on 7HD. Not happy.

@greysfan… channel seven has already spoiled the big surprise of the 100th episode of Grey’s Anatomy with the promos. The episode builds to an unforeseen moment which as already been spoiled by channel 7 and their advertising department

Well so much for Seven showing ‘MJ The Last Time’ in full last night. They showed an edited 1 hr version the night before then said they would replay the full concert from 12.50am and barely got past halfway through then cut away from it to show the hearse driving down a freeway for the next half an hour …

now it is only going to be repeated on 7HD when it hasn’t even been shown in full yet on the normal SD channel…

No HD on any channel, as it turns out (Ten is taking the CBS feed and probably would have had it in HD if not for the sportfest channel).

Picture quality on Nine HD is atrocious – sub-YouTube quality (and that’s non-HD YouTube!) Washed out, blurry, lines all around the edges, awful.

Seven HD has a vastly superior picture, though still clearly not HD.

Who is going to watch the memorial at 12pm. Channel Seven, if you don’t wanna get thrashed, put it on at the same time as Nine. Shift TGYH to next Wednesday.

Not happy about Grey’s being shifted to 9pm. It is the 100th episode for gods sake. I know MJ is a huge thing but come on Seven you could have waited till Monday to do the double of Home and Away.

As for Nine its just another ratings grab showing the memorial in prime time. It will hurt TGYH for sure now. TGYH maybe should have been on Sunday or Thursday not Wednesday. Maybe if there is another series Seven could think about that.

I’m afraid the TGYH finale may be thrashed.

People will watch the 7pm replay on 9, because people will probably be at work, when 7′s replay is on.

The primetime replay will get the ratings, purely on audience numbers, not a midday replay which could attract less viewers, as ratings boxes are mainly off.

Any chance of last night’s concert special on Ch 7 getting a reshowing?

If Nine are replaying the Memorial from 7pm, does that mean a weeknight free of 2 1.5 Men?

Wow.
