All Stories FeedLetterman upgraded
You blogged. They listened… (we’re gonna have to drop the overuse of that one soon).
TEN has seen sense on Letterman.
It’s now moved it back to follow on from the late night run of The 7PM Project.
From Monday November 30 the rule of thumb will now be:
TEN Late News with Sports Tonight
The 7PM Project rpt
The Late Show with David Letterman.
Those replays of show like Medium, Numb3rs, Law & Order: CI etc will now follow Letterman. The downside is Nurse Jackie geta a 1:00am slot. Can’t have it all I guess…
There are other changes too:
Wed Dec 2:
8pm The Simpsons now replaced with Futurama.
10:05pm Californication replaced with Little Britain USA.
This would seem to be a move to accommodate 7PM repeat at a consistent hour. Hopefully it’s still on the cards for summer.
Thu Dec 3
7:30pm Rules of Engagagement is now out replaced by Accidentally on Purpose.

Nurse Jackie is one of the better shows Ch 10 show and they move it to 1am…not good enough.
my god 1am for nuse jackie thats the best show on at the monment god australian channels are nut they move any show to any time cos there no one to fight over expect for 2 channels 7 and 9
Why is TEN bumping repeats of “Rules of Engagement?” I was really looking forward to seeing repeats of my favourite show this summer.
Thank you Ten for moving letterman but why such bad treatment of Nurse Jackie? How about a friday or saturday night slot, there is lots of room there.
This, in a roundabout way, shows the power of Rove. TEN are desperate to make the 7PM Project work because Rove’s company produces it. Running it just 4 hours after it originally has gone to air is ludicrous in my opinion. They should have left Letterman where he was and rolled with the 7PM Project after Letterman, if they really wanted to repeat it. By the way, could someone please tell the 10 execs that people have things like VCRs and DVD recorder players nowadays? If you want to watch something and you’re not home or near a TV just tape it! It doesn’t seem that too many people want to watch the 7PM Project when it goes to air live anyway. Why give everyone a second reason each night to switch off TEN?
why does Nurse jackie have to get bumped down to 1am???
1am Nurse Jackie to make way for 7pm Project repeats?
…and I thought Channel 9 and GO! were bad.
10 should play a Nurse Jackie double for one week at 9:30 after Supernatural, there will only be 2 episodes after this coming Monday. People go on about ratings yet Supernatural never rates well and continues getting perfect treatment. Do channel 10 have a crush on the Supernatural boys?
How about Nurse Jackie replacing Little Britain for two weeks? Please.
Nurse Jackie is on at 1:00!
Why? This is the best new show.
And Ten (seriously) thinks it’s better to schedule Letterman after a program that is being repeated from four hours earlier?
I agree totally with Mark, leterman is as stale as 5 day old toast, just like rove, not funny at all, come on people wake up.
Come on!!! Be honest with yourselves…Letterman is not funny.At.All! Even when taking into account the plethora of US references, He has become as stale as Rove. Seriously, watch it and don’t just follow the forced studio laughter – he really is not funny.
Still not 100% happy. I would prefer Letterman on after the Late Night News. Oh well can’t have it all.
I keep forgetting to watch Nurse Jackie.
That was your suggestion wasn’t it David?
David Blogged – Ten listened…
Thanks TEN, you know it makes sense!
I was expecting 90210 or Melrose to be the summer filler while those Good News Week People take a break.Something to look forward to on a Monday given I am not into Crime Shows or whatever rubbish SBS shows these days in the same timeslot.A little disappointed to say the least so I guess the late night bookstore becomes my friend now.
Here is something Ten could also do regarding the 7pm Project over Summer and that is dump Dr Phil for it.How many of us want to watch a Talk Show Other than Rove but has no relevance to Australians.
What about the shows which are now on after letterman, such as You know you love me and Eureka which are now showing at midnight?
what?!? no Californication! first they don’t fast-track s3 like s1 & 2, then they say they are playing it over summer and then they pull it for more repeats of little britain usa, dumb move since its only 6 episodes and the dvd came out before ten got around to air it the first time.
That’s great !!! They finally listened.
But …
There was nothing wrong with Nurse Jackie’s timeslot to begin with!!!
Why on earth did they move it?
Can they listen again, please?
And fix Jackie’s timeslot please?
It deserves so much better.
Thank you
I wish the 7pm Project @ Late night was a new episode with them having more adult content.
Although I want to add that last nights 7pm Project Interview with Sam Clark was appalling… Right up there with Hayley Lewis… if they can’t interview their guests properly, don’t have them at all.
is little britain usa new or a repeat of the season we just saw? because new californication should take priority over repeats.
Better get in on this ‘them listening’ thing while the going’s good…
Psych Psych Psych Psych Psych Psych Psych Psych Psych
Please.
Why are they axing RoE repeats, if they continue at that pace they’ll be out of fresh AoP eps within 5 weeks. They’d better give The Office a fair go, its the best show on the network.
How do you get the job of a tv programmer, the ones we have at the moment have no clue of how to set schedules.
Ten released their Summer schedule very early, and were obviously still tweaking it. At least it’s better than all the TBAs Seven have on their schedule, and the few shows they did release that were scheduled in primetime, they’ve now dropped and replaced with…you guessed it…TBA.
Late program changes have always happened, it’s just that since the internet and sites like these they are advised instantly, whereas years ago the newspaper was the only place to see them.
Nurse Jackie at 1am
. Just have to tivo it then.
Thank you channel 10 for keeping Letterman at a watchable time. Now how about you do the same for Nurse Jackie? First run programming must be preferable to repeats. I know that The Simpsons are popular over and over and over and over again. The 7PM Project is no Simpsons and never will be so just show it once.
Either way I’ll still be watching Letterman the next day 11:45 is a little late for most, but at least he’s better that Sunrise LOL
So now word yet about 90210 or Melrose, guess TEN are saving them for TEN2 ?
why dont they just scrap the idea of having repeats of the 7pm project from earlier in the night.that’s the best solution by a country mile
So will Futurama be sandwiched between Simpsons and Cleveland then? If so, a good move, and I hope it works well for them.
I’ve never watched Nurse Jackie, but 1am is a dreadful timeslot; and with Ten changing its timeslot as often as they have, I haven’t bothered watching the series at all and I’d rather wait for the DVDs if the feedback about the show remains strong. Ten should have endeavoured to give it a better timeslot during the summer period so it could build an audience, or better yet, re-air it from the beginning so that the audience are given a chance to actually follow the show.
And what’s the haps with Californication? The second season repeats have been rating rather well for Ten. Hell, they’re currently rating higher than they were throughout their first run (back when they were airing at around 11pm-12am). Is this indicative of Ten giving it a more prolific timeslot?
They should put Ellen Degeneres back on against Letterman. Ellen was often Beating Letterman in the late night time slot and certainly beating Letterman in the younger demographics. My 50 yaer old brother preferred Ellen over Letterman and he is Lettermans target audience. Late night has Nothing for women as not many women like Letterman.
@ Stephen H… I don’t really see the problem with changing a schedule 2-3 weeks out from it’s air date.
Especially not when each network is releasing their new Summer schedule… some people are just whingers
They’ve done That to Nurse Jackie… Seriously! That will get her hitting the oxy big time!
ten should put on guerrilla gardners during summer. im looking forward to repeats of bondi vet which was a great show, ten should also replay recruits.
Bondi Vet has repeats in summer.
Stephen. Was never this bad 5 years ago. Now everyone turns to the internet for an answer. Programmers keep me very busy….
Who knew Letterman had so many fans!
I hate his show (and him) with a passion, the second I hear that intro music my tv goes to another channel – even the black screen of death is better viewing!!
Any mention of when Guerrilla Garderners or Bondi vet is going to return?
Why is it Australain television programmers are incapable of sticking to a set schedule. I don’t remember having all of these changes 5 years or more ago.
J Bar,
The time the show airs plays no part in naming it.
Great to have new eps of Numb3rs.
And on topic that’s a nice line up..news/sports/7pm/dave.
@ J Bar.. they can hardly repeat it at 7PM the next day can they…
ok cool, thanks
We blog, but they don’t listen about the loss of entertainment programming in HD…
Tue Dec 1 Numb3rs new ep.
Fri Dec 4 12:45 am rpt ep.
Rule of thumb so far… 9:30 Tuesdays will be where you should be looking.
No deal. Will just watch Conan on the Comedy Channel instead.
Ten like to annoy people over summer. Thinking about that Bold and the Beautiful/Simpsons experiment they pulled last year still makes me twitch.
At least its a bit better now.
The late night repeat didn’t seem to work for Hot Seat, so I can’t see it working for 7PM either.
Nurse Jackie at 1am? Nooooo Get with the programme guys. This is the best show on TV. Thank god for my TiVO.
i am a numb3rs fan, with all these summer changes i am unsure when it is going to be shown, can you confirm the approx timeslot please and that they will be new episodes. thanks
Ridiculous that they named the show the 7pm Project when repeats screened at 3.30pm and now at 11pm.
sounds good – not ideal, but it’s better than waiting until 12:45am-ish
