Not so happy with the drop for FlashForward, Seven has hurried a replay of the first two episodes into schedule this Wednesday night from 9:30pm.
That means repeats of Criminal Minds and new eps of American Dad and Louis Theroux are also out (well, Louis was actually filmed in 2000…).
The line up is now:
9:30 FlashForward ep 1
10:30 FlashForward ep 2
11:30 Family Guy rpt
12:00 Hot Auctions
Hi David, can you please tell me when the new American Dad! episode that was going to air last night “Stan’s Night Out” is going to air? Is it going to air tonight?
Thanks.
PS. Louis Theroux is great but is too intelligent humour for the average couch potato to get
With these changes tv guide (The AgeGreen guide) was incorrect and so was the internet TV guide I was looking at. So how much of the TV audience knows about these last minute changes to make them worth while?
I’m sure it’s very common for shows to lose a small proportion of viewers after the first episode. Instead 7 hits the panic button.
Absolutely. Too smart for a broad audience. I’ve also sought an interview, but alas…..
David I note you are a fan of Louis Theroux also. One wonders why they don’t try it at an earlier time. It’s great viewing. Shame he only does a handful every year.
The ‘Criminal Minds’ episode bumped is part 2 of last week’s great episode, so many people, me included, won’t be happy at all with having to wait another week to see the conclusion… So what if it’s a repeat, it’s still much better to watch than ‘FlashForward’…
It was work last week they bumped Family Guy for some news bulletin not happy
It’s not what is bumped, it’s the total disregard that programming gibbons have for the viewing public. Consistency is not a word in their vocabulary.
It’s smacks of arrogance and absolute disdain for the viewing public.
Wow, overreaction much from you lot? They’ve been bumped out for a week, not pulled for good.
oh come on!!! Family guy & Louie Theroux are once again treated unfairly!
LT is possibly one of the best tv shows on at the moment, i dont get how it’s on so late!!
American Dad goes back to the pilot on Thursday anyway. They will probably just play the new episode then. It would be nice if they could fast track the new seasons of American Dad and Family Guy though.
It would also be nice if Seven could replay the first two episodes of Mercy somewhere. My PVR had too many conflicts, and as of last week, Seven weren’t playing it on their website.
J curve anyone? 1.7 first week, 1.4 second – not that bad, really. Encorring the carp out of it won’t make it any better! Surely they’d know it would settle lower – more likley 1.2 million in time.
I think we can presume the first one won’t.
Maybe they should just ‘encore’ things like FlashForward on 7HD and leave the SD for normal programing?
So will the re-runs have the full credits like the first ep encore last Friday?
American Dad And Louie are the the only shows I watch on seven…
What the only 2 out of 4 programs (Family Guy, American Dad, Louis Theroux, AFL) I will ever watch on 7 are bumped. Fools.
Why do Seven provide so mucj support for their american shows but don’t give the same level of support to their Aussie shows like City Homicide and All Saints. Stupid!
How dare they fark with my American Dad – if I dont get my Roger fix things could turn nasty. I am so over all this “encore performance” crap. Most have PVR / video and would have seen it in some format should they have wished to. I couldnt recall (but I am sure it would be years) since there has been a program on the box worthy of an immediate repeat, not one of those self-promoting wanks.
Here ends the rant
Yet again, Seven has stuffed with the Family Guy and American Dad programming. Anyway, why does it bother me? I have been sourcing these shows elsewhere for quite some time now.
Boy, Ch7 must really want this show to work.
Well they’ve lost me as I watch Criminal Minds and have no interest in Flash Forward thanks but no thanks 7.
Anyway isn’t a drop off expected? No point fighting it as it will probably slide even further week by week regardless of the “encores”.
That means that setting my recorder to tape both AD and FG will be useless. Thanks a lot, Seven.
