Hey Whats the name of the song on nip/tucks premiere?it sounds so sick and it starts off “fake movie stars…..” thats all i know lol but i love it…does anybody know it
Whats the name of the song on nip/tucks premiere? sounds so sick
I hear The Hills will be returning, but no date yet.
Yes that was the plan at the time this post was printed: Sept 23. But in television, changes happen all the time. It’s currently out of schedule.
Where are the next episodes of The Hills? It is listed here as being on tonight ( 5th October) but all other tv guides including GO!’s, have Seinfeld as being on at 7.30 each night, including Monday’s where The Hills are supposed to be airing.
I’ve checked the TV listings in loads of sites and although GO! has reported they will be airing The Hills on Monday nights at 7.30pm, according to the commercials on GO! they’re not. Lots of conflicting reports, so does anyone know for sure?
I don’t understand why they’re showing Jeannie and Bewitched, when a lot of teens don’t really watch them. Fresh Prince (Will Smith) and What I Like About You (Amanda Bynes) would suit this channel perfectly.
Maybe they should use these two shows, and make it apart of a youth program. For example, it could be similar to Saturday Disney’s format, and then they can show these two shows, along with music/ movie reviews, gossip, celebrity interviews, cooking, etc.
bazza, Just Shoot Me is remaining at 3pm weekdays.
Dan a bit hard to know due to School Hols in some states I think. There are limitations on what can be shown during the day, so it’s a bit of a mixed bag.
So if they are block repeating the evening programs after midnight, does that mean they are going to can the afternoon replays from the night before or keep that?
Still annoyed Speeders and Christine are gone, but maybe when Dance your ass off finish’s they’ll be able to squeeze on a Saturday 7.30/8.00 slot.
@ Cam – what other shows would suit the demographic of this channel? Its aimed at 16-39yos. The shows they have scheduled fit really well. Who cares where they come from?
Is Go showing a single programme that was not made in the USA? Limited original local programming might be understandable at this point, but you’d think they might have been able to get some shows from other countries.
I’m confused, a few have said Just Shoot Me is going, but the programming changes shown are only for the evening, yet JSM is on a number of times during the day. The one shown at 3pm was the first and has been showing the entire series in order, a new experience for channel 9 I’m sure. As there’s no daytime changes mentioned, is it staying?
ER info was updated here yesterday.
1] The ARIA Chart Show after midnight was a joke in that they’d repeat the same videos about 20 times.
2] Nine haven’t stated if they’ll be fast tracking the Eastwick show, or if they’ll wait a couple months to show it.
3] Nine haven’t stated what they’re doing with ER season 14 and final season 15. If they’ll be aired on the standard channel over the summer recess, with 41 episodes they’d have to screen double episodes twice a week to get it over with.
4] Nine need to get the Smallville show back, that they stupidly onsold to Ten. Screen (in double episodes) season 7 (even though Ten screened it on 10HD) and follow with season 8 and final season 9 that’s starting up soon in North America. They could also screen (in double episode format) seasons 1 – 6.
5] True Blood. Yes it was incredibly stupid for Nine to onsell this to Foxtel, but get season 1 and 2 and show them back to back.
6] Via their Sony deal, repeat Damages season 1 and follow with season 2 and repeat The Shield from season 1 in double episodes. It’s a joke its brilliant final 7th season from 2 years ago hasn’t got an Aus TV airing, not unless Foxtel have shown it.
This is all great and personally I think GO! is fantastic.
But if GO! is going to survive and grow it desperately needs original Aussie shows.
I agree with Simon – where’s Ellen??? Is the repeat being moved back to Channel 9?? They should keep Ellen then show one cycle of The ARIA Chart Show, then repeat the earlier block of programming.
wheres ellen!?
Agreed – Go! is better than Nine!
@ Timmy: some of the shows you mention are made by 20th Century Fox, and Ten or Foxtel now holds the rights to them.
Maybe they should add repeats of Brady Bunch?
@ ryaneco – i’d say Weeds and Curb would have to be 9.30pm at the earliest due to classification.
andrew B- excellent to here they are advertising vampire diaries on 9 too, i’ve been worried that maybe there won’t be enough awareness.
I don’t get the point of having South Park on a Sunday, since it’s already on Saturday. They could have left Old Christine in the schedule at 8:30, and then put on Weeds after it followed by Curb Your Enthusiasm after it, that would’ve been way better. But other than that, I think the schedule is looking pretty good.
Any chance of GO! airing Chuck or Pushing Daisies?
GO is in local time – like channel 9 is. No need to subtract / add anything.
Have seens ads on channel 9 for Vampire Diaries on GO. First ad on 9 for GO since August (that I know of). Due to conflicts though, we’ll be recording the repeat episode.
So, are the timings, local time or do we add a hour/three hours in non DST areas (i.e, GO running on Sydney time, with local schedules)?
@tasmanian devil: phew, at least someone heard me. If you happen to work for 9 let them know, cheers.
It’s a bit concerning how every fortnight or so that an episode of Big Bang Theory gets dropped. It started off with four eps and now it’s down to two.
@Paull about the bit rate and blocky shows, we heard you the first time.
Glad to see Weeds and Nip/Tuck back!
Repeats of (the original) Melrose Place, thirtysomething, Picket Fences, Ally McBeal etc would sit well on this channel.
Vampire Diaries episode 2 was actually better than Episode 1 … so hang in there …!
Jack!
Nice schedule, maybe a few too many episodes of Seinfeld and movies, could throw in Full House, Step By Step, Fresh Prince, Family Matters instead.
Wednesdays are the only night I won’t watch GO but I can see why so many people I know love it, 3 hours of Sci-Fi. Could add in the X-Files at 11:30 perhaps?
Saturday nights could be improved by showing some original programming from MTV or comedy channels or some US talk shows.
Do you know what comes after the finale of Bachelor and Dance Your Ass Off?
Overall, it’s better than Seven, Nine and Ten
@ Ben Aria Chart Show will still be on 5pm Saturdays.
Take out TMZ and Entertainment Tonight and I’ve found a new home
Awesome! Something good to watch on Sunday night! Can’t wait…
bindi
on media spy website, after the bachelor and the bachelorette, we will be getting the next season, same with survivor.
ryan eco…
They are sarting at season 5 for south park .
aliens in america went for a season in the US, and all 5 final episodes will be on next sunday.
So only shows really to go are old christine and just shoot me.
I think they should have on at say 8pm during the week either seinfeld , old christine or speeders
@Earthquake – Aliens has it’s final 5 eps this Sunday in s 2.5 hour run, there were only 18 eps made.
Thanks for the Drop Dead Diva info, who didn’t see that coming?
And I ask again where is Old Christine, S3 just started and it’s gone again!
Ben, I would have thought it was still on but pushed back to after the block repeat.
I am really dissapointed they have removed the Aria Chart Show out of the lineup. I quite enjoyed having that recorded on the Tivo so i had music videos to watch whenever without ads.
Any word on if they are gonna fix up the quality on launch? Or if they are not my advice would be not to have promos that move really fast so you notice the picture break up. kthx
Not happy that Christine has been bumped yet again, but I have no doubt that it will appear on Go sometime hopefully soon. I do want to see it go to a weekdays.
Nothing much interests me on Sunday and Monday night anymore on Go, except for
Big Bang Theory otherise the rest of the week looks good.
Is Go! going to replay last week’s ep of Drop Dead Diva by any chance?
Damn what about the classic 80s movies on Sunday nights?
There’s still a few more timelsots that will open up in subsequent weeks given finales of Dance Your A off and the Bachelor so the remainder of the promised October shows should appear at those times.
They have a whole new channel, and still put Weeds on at a crap time? Disgrace.
@ GuanoLad…. why??? what do you like and dislike?
Can’t see much here to interest me. Probably won’t be dropping by GO! very often.
@Earthquake
aliens in america was axed after the first season in the US
i loved that show too but thats hows the americans do business.
@Sean, I started to notice that around the time Go launched because they took the footy show off 9HD. The Footy Show always advertises its start time at 11.30pm however, the nrl show always runs over as does the late news. For some reason the 30 minute late news on Nine is longer than the 30 minute late news on WIN. So I end up watching/recording from around 12.30am on WIN. I’m not sure about IQ but on mystar u can do manual recordings (setting the box to record for a specific time period on a specific channel rather than finding a program in the EPG and pressing record.)
the website should be gomsn.com.au
Will they be updating the bit-rate? I can barely stand watching the blocky shows.
What happened to Aliens In America? I hope all episodes get shown at some stage
My family loves that show!
They put Survivor on even earlier? This channel rules.
Yay for South Park, if only Go! could also nick King of the Hill, American Dad and Family Guy, that would be heaven on earth!!
As far as I’m concerned, this channel looks awesome! Can’t wait for the Foxtel launch.
As previously indicated South Park are repeats. SBS retains first run.
Drop Dead Diva is dropped off Nine with the raft of new shows coming in next week.
Remember that August was always flagged as a soft launch, so in this case it’s not surprising there is some adjustment to schedule.
South Park…………….That Is So Cool, Sundays Just Got Better, Double With CYE.
Haven’t had a look at GO! yet, but so far does the scheduling stick to the timeslots better than 9 can manage? Last week I recorded the AFL Footy Show, which in Qld screens at about 11.30pm. Booked it in on the IQ, and found that the NRL Footy Show ran 45 minutes over time!!!
I appreciate they are a live show, but 45 minutes is ridiculous! Imagine if Idol, or Dancing with the Stars ran over by that much.
Long story short, I saw 15 minutes of the show I actually wanted to see.
So these South Parks, are they new episodes, repeats, or what? Have they bought different series to SBS?
Go! is better than the main channel (Nine). Yay!
so i’m guessing drop dead diva is now officially only on Go? not that i mind but it would be good to know when Go is up to the last episode shown on nine.
I only have 1 complaint; They have just moved into The New Adventures of Old Christine (Season 3) and now the show has been yanked WTF!?!?!?! I am so pi**ed off, not only are these episodes from Feb 08 (yes over a year and a half old) we’re not going to see them played out!!! Argh!! F**k this; why pull it? You can’t slot a single double episode in the schedule rather than having two blocks of Double Seinfeld at 7.30 2 nights a week; or how about only showing 1 episode of Big Bang with 1 new episode of New Christine; I appreciate that it may not have many fans but there are people who enjoy it and Go was the perfect fit for it; now its out of the schedule
Oh and even though I’ve seen all the episodes so far of both shows Curb and Weeds being bumped back later for double repeat South Park on Sunday nights sucks – these two are much better shows; plus the episodes are new; unlike South Park which I’m assuming will be starting back at Season 1 Episode 1 which is from 1997………
/rant
Besides that the lineup actually looks good.
Season 5 of Nip/Tuck! Finally.
OMG :’( I love this channel and think it’s awesome but i’m so angry that they moved The Hills From Thursday 10.30 to Monday 7.30. arghhhh!
Wait what happened to Old Christine?
Also David is Drop Dead Diva coming back to Nine or is it now only on GO!?
I do like the block repeats, it’s like built in time shift which you can record over night if you missed it earlier.
so SBS doesnt screen South Park anymore? or are they sharing it?
So has Just Shoot Me been dropped or is it still on during the day?
What, no “ARIA Chart Show”?
Where am I going to get my fix of two hundred screenings of that damn Green Day video every week from now?
sounds good, my first reactions are
- thank god the website is getting more stuff it is lame at the moment.
- just shoot me late at night was good, hope it is still in the arvos or something.
- wonder what will go on tuesday after the bachelor is all done.
