If they were really listening to what audiences wanted, they would stop showing such painful television as Australian Idol.

The format is tired and needs to be rested.

re Rove’s twitter comment – if your show actually performed consistently from week to week you wouldn’t get shoved around so much!

I can’t stand Idol or Lyrics and I have seen all the eps of TBYG so I’ll be staying on Go! on Sundays thank you.

Morons. Nurse Jackie should have always been on a Monday night.
How about cutting Idol into 90mins tops? I don’t think its the timeslot, I think its the show!

It sounds like Australia has voted…..

Maybe they should also listen to public opinion that suggests that the show has had its day and it’s time to axe it.

They’d never air Legend of the Seeker at 6.30 – way more violent than Merlin and it would be censored to shreds. Great show though!

Nurse Jackie deserves so much better, Ten would’ve been better holding this until summer and airing it in an earlier timeslot along with Californication.

It could be worse They could replace Idol at 6:30pm with Jerry Springer assuming that show is still around

Don’t touch Supernatural! Or at least ensure it is still “fast-tracked” and screened on another evening.

Channel 10 should definitely “fast-track” season 2 of Merlin. Or buy the rights to “Legend of the Seeker” and screen that in the 6:30pm on Sundays time-slot (although I’d prefer to see it at a later time-slot to prevent the clumbsy editing of violence that plagues Merlin).

@ Mike Retter: too late, Mark Holden officially became a lawyer yesterday and won’t come back.

Timeslot is not solely the issue. Merging the show with the results was a bad idea – one week is too long a wait for impatient viewers. And making the contestants rehearse etc for the next show is a waste of everyone’s time involved if they’re only to be booted off (and the producers will know who said person is on the Monday before the Sunday show), and then making them sing the song which got them voted off in the first place at the top of the show is ridiculous. It just delays getting the show on the road and people just switch off in boredom. The show needs resting to replenish the talent pool. And new judges who actually add value and constructive feedback to the contestants so they have something to go with in improving their next performance.

Unbelievable Ten.
How about moving Idol from sunday altogether to a wednesday slot?Repeating TBYG already is beyond belief & i can only shake my head at the treatment to Nurse Jackie & lesser extent Little Britain USA which is fine after Rove.
Nurse Jackie is the kind of show Ten need as a hit and a fine follow up to Rove at 9.30 or 10 at the latest.You people in the boardrooms making these decisions are morons.Do you even watch any of it?Sadly so much money is put into Idol that it takes precedent.Crazy.
Idol is finished,it has nothing to do with timeslots,it is boring & tired.Andrew G is helpless without James,Marcia looks like she is over it & Dicko is still in midlife crisis mode.The newie?Doesn’t offer much.A new look,new hosts & a sprinkling of talent wouldn’t go astray to keep it fresh & yes it should be finished in 2009.Ten should have got hold of the Come Dine With Me concept (from the UK),which Foxtel is producing.After Masterchef it would have been a winner.

Now all I hope for is Merlin back at 6.30 on Sundays since it is just now returning to the UK, and perhaps even Mark Holden rejoining Idol again.
